Beetlejuice With the theatrical release of Beetlejuice, it’s a perfect opportunity to revisit the mystery behind one of Tim Burton’s most iconic characters. Why is Beetlejuice called Beetlejuice? And not Bethelhues as the star?
In the 1988 film, Michael Keaton plays the insane “bio-exorcist” known as Beetlejuice. But this name is not found on his tombstone. In fact, his real name is Betelgeuse, which translates the same as Beetlejuice in English, but is spelled differently. This simplification of the spelling was adopted to make the name more accessible and memorable to an English-speaking audience.
A real star
Betelgeuse is also the name of one of the brightest stars in the sky, located in the constellation Orion. This star is a red supergiant known for its enormous size and brightness.
Choosing this name for Michael Keaton’s character is not trivial. Using the name of such a famous star, Tim Burton and his team add a cosmic and mysterious dimension to the character. Betelgeuse, like the star, appears to be part of a larger whole, suggesting that it may be connected to supernatural forces far greater than itself.
The original film reveals few details about Beetlejuice’s origins. However, it is possible that the next film will explore more of his past and his true motives. The director could reveal how he became this evil and manipulative bio-exorcist.
Will the choice of name be finalized soon?
One thing is clear: choosing a name for a Beteljuice character is loaded with meaning and allusion. While we wait for the release of Beetlejuice 2, fans can contemplate the depth and richness of Tim Burton’s universe, where every detail, even a character’s name, is carefully considered to add to the mystery.
Beetlejuice isn’t just a catchy name, it’s a gateway to a world of hidden meanings and possible interpretations that await further exploration in the long-awaited sequel starring Jenna Ortega and Monica Bellucci.
