Scary Dad
As Moviehole reported Tuesday, and The Hot Mic confirmed today, “Wednesday” actress Jenna Ortega is in talks to play the daughter of Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) in director Tim Burton’s long-awaited Beetlejuice sequel.
The actress would join Ryder, Michael Keaton and (if the rumor is on the money) Jean-Claude Van Damme (!) in the Brad Pitt-produced production. The film reunites the Scream VI actress with Burton, who was an executive producer on “Wednesday” and directed four of its eight episodes.
Pitt’s Plan B Productions officially joined the production last year, at which time the film had been swirling about in development for the better part of three decades.
