Will Jeffrey Jones appear in Tim Burton’s extremely awaited Beetlejuice follow up, Beetlejuice
That’s the concern on the mind of eagle-eyed fans of the upcoming Warner Bros. movie’s trailer, who discovered a look of the star on a headstone in a funeral scene. A representative for Jones validates to The Hollywood Reporter that the star does not appear in Beetlejuice
The funeral service is participated in by Catherine O’Hara (playing Delia Deetz, 2nd partner of Jones’ Charles Deetz in the initial movie), Winona Ryder (Lydia Deetz, Charles’ child with his very first, departed partner) and Jenna Ortega (a beginner to the franchise, who plays Astrid Deetz, Lydia’s teenage child).
In BeetlejuiceCharles is a big-city property designer who purchases a Connecticut home after the previous owners– the Maitlands, played by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis — pass away in a vehicle mishap.
The Maitlands quickly discover they are ghosts and see in scary as Delia continues to turn their charming farmhouse into an ostentatious, postmodern funhouse.
Charles’ death in the follow up did not always eliminate his involvement in the follow up, as the movie follows the Maitlands’ misadventures of the afterlife.
A talented physical comic, Jones, 77, took scenes in a string of movies throughout the 1980s, most significantly playing Emperor Joseph II in 1984’s Amadeus and Ed Rooney, the principal in 1986’s Ferris Bueller’s Day OffDealing with Burton, he followed Beetlejuice with efficiencies in 1994’s Ed Wood and 1999’s Drowsy Hollow
He worked far less in the years following a 2003 plea of no contest to employing a 14-year-old kid to present naked for images, for which he was sentenced to 5 years probation and bought to sign up as a sex wrongdoer.
Jones did play real-life newspaperman A.W. Merrick on HBO’s Nonessential throughout the program’s run from 2004 to 2006. He repeated the function for Nonessential: The Movie in 2019– however amidst a more delicate, post-#MeToo environment, his existence in the story was significantly minimized.
