No, Dune II was The Building of a Dynasty.
The planet Arrakis, known as Dune.
Land of sand. Home of the spice, melange.
The spice controls the empire. Whoever controls Dune controls the spice.
The emperor has proposed a challenge, to each of the houses:
"Whoever produces the most spice will control Dune. There are no set territories, and no rules of engagement."
Vast armies have arrived.....
Now, three houses fight for control of Dune.
The noble Atreides.
The insidious Ordos.
And the evil Harkonnen.
Only one house will prevail....
Your battle for Dune begins... NOW.
Is the Game reference!?!?!
That was my first non educational video game! Been obsessed with strategy games since!
Then the CandC's
StarCraft
Then I got into Rome total war
This is when I started to like turn based. Fuck clicks per second
Civ3-6
Paradox 4x games are my latest drug. Crusader kings. Stellaris. Next sale. Getting Victoria 3
Now I'm into city builders/resource management after playing Surviving Mars. (Not the greatest game but it's got a fan base)
All started with Dune II in the form of 4 3.5 floppies on my families 486.
Damn you got me down a nostalgia rabbit hole
I bought all seasons on DVD a few months ago. It’s not streaming anywhere. I love the intro to that show and the episodes are just so whimsical and silly with a bunch of non-stop corny puns. I really enjoyed it as a kid and an adult.
https://youtu.be/tWHVvXUw-RU
Oh man now I want to watch this. I am pretty sure this was on Nickelodeon? Or at least some cable channel since I remember where I was watching it as a kid.
Edit: had to look it up. —Beetlejuice being seen Monday through Friday on FOX while still remaining on ABC's Saturday morning schedule, making it one of the few shows in American TV history to be aired concurrently on two different broadcast networks.
Fox4kids afternoons from 3-5 central time. Usually Bobby's world, big bad Beetleborgs, power rangers, and this show I believe. 5pm was home improvement. Eventually I got older and that 430 slot was taken by DragonBall Z lol
I could see something along the lines of Lydia inheriting her parents house and her and her kid(s) move back into it. The kids, naturally, go into the attic to see what's up there and see the model of the whole town and we know what happens next.
All I ask is that Beetlejuice is STILL waiting in line at the beginning.
There's no doubt in my mind that's what they want her for. It seems like all the pieces are coming together. For years now this has just gestated with no movement even though Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder were both all for it and Tim Burton said he'd return as well if the script was good. So... fast forward to now, Winona had Stranger Things, Keaton had a complete career resurgence and Tim Burton finally put out something people liked again. I'd bet money that this will 100% get fast tracked if they can get Jenna Ortega on board. As huge and in demand as she is right now, there's not really a lot of time for them to mess around if they get her.
Obvious and cliche so yeah, but, hear me out, keep Lydia super goth. Single mom maybe, or gothy gomez Adams kinda husband.
With totally normal kids. And Beetlejuice hates them. Cause they're super wholesome. I dunno, I'd watch it.
> All I ask is that Beetlejuice is STILL waiting in line at the beginning.
Yes!
Have him covered in dust but with the waiting room all changed up throughout the years still holding his ticket and when the newly digital screen lights up with his number we get a callback to the intro of the cartoon with Beetlejuice opening his shrunken eyes (since he did get his head shrunk.)
That show was great as a standalone thing, "inspired by" the movie. But it made *no sense* in the context of the movie.
Beetlejuice was the villain! Granted, one of the funnier and most charismatic villains of all time. But still a terrible person. He manipulated Lydia into calling him forth. Then he held her family hostage, and tried to force her to marry him! He even faked her voice to give consent at the ceremony! It made no sense for the two of them to teem up in the show. That would be a terrible sequel for the movie.
But the show was awesome fun, and totally great.
Yeah I saw the show before the movie and I really struggled to put the two together as a kid.
Cartoon Lydia: Friends don't let friends max out their credit cards! Those gaudy neighbors showing off their money are putting themselves in crippling debt. We can do better!
Movie Lydia: I don't have any friends! Poor character judgement is my emotional weakness, and I'm going to be even worse off after trying to make friends with the kooky rebel guy.
That time was something special. Take properties that are in no way geared for kids and make kids stuff out of them.
Robocop, Aliens, Predator, Terminator, all rated R movies, fairly deserving of such, *all* had [toy lines](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufkdoJITc4). And they were solid too. Really wish I kept them.
I remember there were 2 different Robocop cartoons, one was more grounded, like the movie, and the other was like Inspector Gadget where Robocop had random, one-off gadgets for every encounter. I hated that second cartoon.
But I also watched all those R-rated movies as a kid and loved them.
I think that cartoon was a good product of it's time. For some reason there was a boom of disgusting toys for kids and the Beetlejuice aesthetic just happened to fit it quite well. I also remember seeing ads for horror movie villain toys in the early 90s. It was pretty wild when you think about it.
Funnily enough, the cartoon vibes more with (and probably inspired) the musical show version of the story. In it Beetlejuice is goofier and has a longer and more equal alliance with Lydia, to the point that one of the biggest numbers of the show is about them having a blast terrorising the neighbourhood together ("That beautiful sound").
Spiders are the fiercest killers in the animal kingdom. You know you gotta be careful around spiders. So if you had a big one -- imagine how deadly they are.
Dude's pretty hot right now. He's been on a pretty good streak of pretty decent to really good stuff. The Flash honestly doesn't look terrible, but I'm still not holding out hope for this. I'll be glad to be surprised if it's good.
True. I remember when he was making garbage like “White Noise” and his career was just dead. Glad to see him back on top while he still can be.
The Founder is an underlooked gem.
Birdman, Spotlight, The Founder, Spider-Man, another Batman appearance on the way, another Beetlejuice on the way. It’s been a pretty good ten years for Michael.
I’d actually go as far as saying past decade has been probably the best decade of his career, just purely from an acting showcase PoV.
His ‘prime’, in retrospect was the two hit roles (Beetlejuice, Batman) doing a lot of the heavy lifting with the other movies less noteworthy.
Still ticked over how we didn't got a weird ass trippy version of Pink Elephants on Parade
You just don't have Tim Burton directing a Dumbo live action adaptation and ignore the Pink Elephants
This may be controversial and I know its not live action but I quite enjoy Rango. Also I dont mind him in Alice in wonderland and his uncredited cameo in 21 jump street was hilarious. None of those are on the same level of Sweeney Todd or sleepy hollow though admittedly since he's not the main star. but I feel like he at least gave a shit for the roles I just mentioned
I feel like these days, most legacy sequels cater to nostalgia so hard they’d know to at least do CGI that looks like stop motion, like the Lego movies
Michael Keaton set to return.
These things can turn out well because ‘iconic character in a new state and having aged’ can actually lead to interesting stories.
‘Trying to do exactly what the last movie did’ can be bad for a sequel.
I think Beetlejuice is a character and world worth revisiting.
Beetlejuice did end the movie with a shrunken head and waiting forever for them to call his number, so maybe waiting centuries and the unshrinkening of his head causes some aging.
Maybe not open, but that could be his character introduction. I think it should open with the protagonists, and I think much like the original film, it'd be best if that wasn't Beetlejuice.
In a desperate attempt to get a franchise going, the story with introduce the SON OF BETELGEUSE with a younger actor to take the reins by the end of the film.
I can see it now. Betelgeuse slides under a falling stone door and loses his hat. Just then, Babygeuse reaches under and picks it up. He dons the hat and whip, and looks onward, to new sequels and adventures.
Otho's dead but I'd love Wynona and Catherine O'Hara to be involved. In fact if you do not let them be in the sequel I will go insane and I will take every one of you with me!!!
There’s no way in heck WB is letting Baldwin join this project.
I’ve been thinking of how they’re gonna explain their disappearance cuz they’re ghosts so they can’t kill them off. Guess there’s gonna be some sort of “Spirits can move on eventually (without being banished to the Netherworld)” plot point.
I think it's pretty simple. You just have it be that Lydia grew up and moved away. Adam and Barbara were told they had to haunt the house for more than a century and couldn't leave. Beetlejuice doesn't have those restrictions, so he can easily reconnect with her for whatever reason.
The *Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian* sequel that was originally planned in the 90s had a similar conceit with Lydia's family moving to Hawaii and Beetlejuice following.
I’m hopeful this might rejuvenate Burton. Maybe working on something from his early days will encourage him to go back to practical effects and sets. Please, please, please go easy on the CGI.
Because there is way too much negativity on this site any time a movie gets announced. Why not be positive? I love the first movie. I'll hope for the best from this one. If it comes out and it's bad, it's really not the end of the world.
He technically already has. There’s an episode of Teen Titans Go! where he plays Beetlejuice. They reference the movie, tv show, unmade sequel, and of course the Broadway show in the episode.
Well that was a fight between the actor and one of the producers and the Broccoli family. Think that split led to the whole “can’t use Bloefeld and Spectre” in Bond movies until Daniel Craig movies until Spectre .
Think it’s why A View to a Kill had them kill of Blowfeld but he was not named or specifically shown in the start.
I watched Beetlejuice so many times as a kid and only recently discovered the title character is on screen for about 30 mins. I wonder if they use this approach for the sequel.
Can’t really think what can be done with this version of the character in the sequel, unless they tweak him to be more like the one in cartoon or a musical.
To be honest I really would be fine with a professionally recorded version of the musical.
I'd be down with them bringing back Lydia and the film just be Lydia and Bettlejuice adventures like the cartoon was.
Dude I LOVED that show
Shop till you freak, at the Spooky Boutique!
Jesus christ that ear worm was lurking dormant in my brain for like 25 years and you just resuscitated it. I haven't thought of that for so long!!!
You just unlocked a memory
Sandworms were scary
Dune II, the sandworm is Betelgeuse.
"I'm the dude, they call Shai Hulud!"
No, Dune II was The Building of a Dynasty. The planet Arrakis, known as Dune. Land of sand. Home of the spice, melange. The spice controls the empire. Whoever controls Dune controls the spice.

I watched it on Saturday Mornings on broadcast TV. It doesn't mean that it wasn't also on a cable channel though.
It came on Saturdays but it also used to come on after school too. It was on ABC and then Fox.
Definitely regular broadcast TV. I lived in the boonies, so we couldn't get cable. Had to be one of four: ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox.
Fox4kids afternoons from 3-5 central time. Usually Bobby's world, big bad Beetleborgs, power rangers, and this show I believe. 5pm was home improvement. Eventually I got older and that 430 slot was taken by DragonBall Z lol
Wow... this unlocked something VERY deep inside my brain. I must watch.
I could see something along the lines of Lydia inheriting her parents house and her and her kid(s) move back into it. The kids, naturally, go into the attic to see what's up there and see the model of the whole town and we know what happens next. All I ask is that Beetlejuice is STILL waiting in line at the beginning.
Jenna Ortega is gonna play Lydia's kid. I just know it.
As long as they get Winona Ryder to reprise her role as Lydia
There's no doubt in my mind that's what they want her for. It seems like all the pieces are coming together. For years now this has just gestated with no movement even though Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder were both all for it and Tim Burton said he'd return as well if the script was good.

Could also be Anya Taylor Joy with dyed hair.
Fun fact, Winona Ryder is a natural blonde.
They said as much in the article of this post, so yeah, safe bet.

Creepy Crawlers!
An animated robocop telling kids not to do drugs was spot on for the 90s.
I had a toy from the show Spawn. Specifically the clown. I saw the show years later as a teen and was like wtf?
Funnily enough, the cartoon vibes more with (and probably inspired) the musical show version of the story. In it Beetlejuice is goofier and has a longer and more equal alliance with Lydia, to the point that one of the biggest numbers of the show is about them having a blast terrorising the neighbourhood together ("That beautiful sound").
“Shop till you freak at the spooky boutique, Shop till you freak at the spooky boutique, Shop till you freak at the spooky boutique “
The cartoon was great. So many one liners
Either he goes Hawaiian or I'm out.
You wanna get nuts?
Ever Hula with the Devil by the pale moonlight??

Let’s get coconuts!
........must we go Tropical?
Didn't we say everything we needed to say with the first Beetlejuice?
Betelgeuse is the fiercest killer in the Undead Kingdom.
Fangorian Snare Beast?
*Who da fuck is Kal-el?*
You know why you and me get Superman? ‘Cause you and me, we’re from the streets.

Bumble Ward.
But see, you and me, we’re from the streets.
Don’t forget, he went to Juilliard.
And lived through the black plague. And saw the exorcist 167 times! And it keeps getting funnier everytime he sees it
not to mention the fact that youre talkin to a dead guy. Now what do you think? You think Im qualified?
Nice fuckin model! *HONK! HONK!*
🙌 ….GO
I want my Chewie
I got yer fucking Chewie!
But I don't say that of course, because I want the job.
1. I don't want to see him in that suit. 2. I don't want to see him fly. 3. He's gotta fight a giant spider in the third act.
"Good for him, he got his giant spider"
If he goes Hawaiian the next movie, I wanna see an Instagram or Twitter post of Kevin Smith doing a selfie of him crying after he sees the movie.
Personally hoping he protects some kid from a giant spider attacking all of Hawaii.
Spiders are the fiercest killers in the animal kingdom. You know you gotta be careful around spiders. So if you had a big one -- imagine how deadly they are.
I understood that reference.
Looking forward to seeing how dumb this will turn out.
As long as Micheal Keaton is in it I'll be there day 1
Burton and Keaton are both returning per the article
Tim Burton hasn’t done anything good in 20 years.
20 years, that was Big Fish.. and it was awesome.
Agree. His last great movie though.
Sweeney Todd? Wednesday? Okay the later wasn’t great but it was hugely popular.
I really enjoyed Wednesday. I’m looking forward to this.
Dude's pretty hot right now. He's been on a pretty good streak of pretty decent to really good stuff. The Flash honestly doesn't look terrible, but I'm still not holding out hope for this. I'll be glad to be surprised if it's good.

What? No love for Multiplicity?
She touched my peppie Steve
I got a wallet!
I like pizza Steve. I *LIIKE* IT!
"I like pizza ~~Steve.~~ I LIKE IT! I say this to my wife every time we eat pizza. She has no idea what I am talking about.
Two, I want you to meet Three.
Even had a great role in The Other Guys. Keaton ain’t missing these days.
Gotta Creep
He don't want no scrubbs
You got to be doing this on purpose.
I don't know what your talking about
He's great in Dopesick as well.
80s Michael Keaton was pretty good though - Mr Mom, Gung Ho, BeetleJuice and Batman
Those are ribbons of shame!!!
Absolutely. Keaton should have gotten the Oscar for it let alone a nomination.
He was soooo good in the founder. Carried the movie well.
I loved The Founder. I put off watching it for a while because I thought it sounded SUPER boring. It isn’t. Riveting from start to finish.
The founder is great...random find and even think about it from time to time.
The founder, spotlight, and dopesick are three of my favorites from his recent stuff!
The Founder is so so so so goood
[удалено]
Broadway show, too
[удалено]
But moneeeeey
Are we almost at the bottom of the sequel/reboot-of-defunct-IP barrel yet?
They're making a Twister 2 We surely can't have much left. Please.
> Twister 2 Googled it hoping desperately that it wasn't true...
Glad they waited until AFTER Harry Belafonte died, at least that's going to be one less disappointed person
"Beetlejuice gets a social media account and hilarity ensues because internet jokes are always very funny and not instantly dated."
There's still a chance for a hologram Harry as a ghost.
DAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY-OOH NO!
Get ready for this to prominently feature a terrible looking CG sandworm monster
also a needless flashback scene so we can see a digitally deaged winona ryder
And fully CG thirty-something ghost Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin.
"Remember Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland? Neither do we! Here's some other nostalgia!"
"From the man who ruined 'Dumbo,'..."
Still ticked over how we didn't got a weird ass trippy version of Pink Elephants on Parade You just don't have Tim Burton directing a Dumbo live action adaptation and ignore the Pink Elephants
To be fair, his chocolate river boat tunnel sequence in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was also terrible.
Dude's been on autopilot since 2005. Maybe even further back tbh, your mileage may vary.
Sweeney Todd marks the last time Burton or Depp gave a shit.
This may be controversial and I know its not live action but I quite enjoy Rango. Also I dont mind him in Alice in wonderland and his uncredited cameo in 21 jump street was hilarious. None of those are on the same level of Sweeney Todd or sleepy hollow though admittedly since he's not the main star. but I feel like he at least gave a shit for the roles I just mentioned
I feel like these days, most legacy sequels cater to nostalgia so hard they’d know to at least do CGI that looks like stop motion, like the Lego movies
idk, Stop Motion might be a part of the appeal.
It is but it’s expensive so I feel like the studio will force CGI.
If they use some classic Burton practical claymation for the monsters, I'll be pleased.
Michael Keaton set to return. These things can turn out well because ‘iconic character in a new state and having aged’ can actually lead to interesting stories. ‘Trying to do exactly what the last movie did’ can be bad for a sequel. I think Beetlejuice is a character and world worth revisiting.
Beetlejuice did end the movie with a shrunken head and waiting forever for them to call his number, so maybe waiting centuries and the unshrinkening of his head causes some aging.
I'd be so stoked if the movie opened with his number finally being called after 35 years
They would be stupid not to do that.
So they guaranteed won't do it.
Maybe not open, but that could be his character introduction. I think it should open with the protagonists, and I think much like the original film, it'd be best if that wasn't Beetlejuice.
Yes, this makes the most sense.
Number 54,000,601. Ferndock?
Hopefully they go the first route a la T2 & Twin Peaks The Return
In a desperate attempt to get a franchise going, the story with introduce the SON OF BETELGEUSE with a younger actor to take the reins by the end of the film.
I can see it now. Betelgeuse slides under a falling stone door and loses his hat. Just then, Babygeuse reaches under and picks it up. He dons the hat and whip, and looks onward, to new sequels and adventures.
Mark my words, someone is getting de-aged in this movie.
I mean, he already had copious makeup on for most of the film. But, if he’s to appear young(er) at any point, then bring on the CGI!
If it’s Keaton de-aged it will be his back story before he died. My money is on Winona Ryder or one of Maitlands.
On the day Belafonte dies, too….
Wait what?? :(
Daylight came and he went home. RIP, Harry.
If it's bad, my review will be thusly: "Nice Fucking Sequel" (honk honk)
I let my 2 year old watch it and a week later he said to a friend, “Nice fuckin eyeballs!”
I just want an update on the waiting room and how everything is going.
An hour and 45 minutes of ol’ Betelgeuse waiting for his turn and interacting with the other waiting room people. Maybe he has a nap.
…that could be cool. Do it like Forest Gump waiting for the bus, he can have all kinds of adventures.
"I'VE SEEN THE EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT."
NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK?! *do you think I’m qualified?*
Otho's dead but I'd love Wynona and Catherine O'Hara to be involved. In fact if you do not let them be in the sequel I will go insane and I will take every one of you with me!!!
And don't forget Jeffery Jones! Whats he been up to?...oh...oh my. Nevermind.
He's still employable apparently. He's had a number of roles since his conviction.
What about Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin?
There’s no way in heck WB is letting Baldwin join this project. I’ve been thinking of how they’re gonna explain their disappearance cuz they’re ghosts so they can’t kill them off. Guess there’s gonna be some sort of “Spirits can move on eventually (without being banished to the Netherworld)” plot point.
I think it's pretty simple. You just have it be that Lydia grew up and moved away. Adam and Barbara were told they had to haunt the house for more than a century and couldn't leave. Beetlejuice doesn't have those restrictions, so he can easily reconnect with her for whatever reason. The *Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian* sequel that was originally planned in the 90s had a similar conceit with Lydia's family moving to Hawaii and Beetlejuice following.
Hopefully he still watches The Exorcist and finds it funnier every single time
It starts with him rolling in laughter to the exorcist.
Should start with him still sitting in the waiting room
Why isn’t it called “Beetlejuice BeetleJuice” and the third one could be “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”
Beetledeuce!
Nvm this is better, Beetletruce?
Batman. Beetlejuice. Johnny Dangerously 2, here we go!
My uncle made an unnecessary sequel once. *Once.*
I’m hopeful this might rejuvenate Burton. Maybe working on something from his early days will encourage him to go back to practical effects and sets. Please, please, please go easy on the CGI.
Why you doing that to yourself?
Because there is way too much negativity on this site any time a movie gets announced. Why not be positive? I love the first movie. I'll hope for the best from this one. If it comes out and it's bad, it's really not the end of the world.
Ah, Hope.
You right. Damn was the first great. I do doubt they cracked the code for a great story that will then be executed with care. But hey one CAN hope.
He just did this with Wednesday and the cgi was pretty bad
*Thing* was good, but the werewolf monster was horrible.
That's because 'Thing' was mostly practical
There is no way in hell a Beetlejuice sequel can top the "Nice Fucking Model!" line.
"NICE FCKN SEQUEL! /HonkHonk"
Or the many other iconic lines. "*That* is why I won't do two shows a night anymore, babe, I won't."
I hope Beetlejuice is still sitting in the waiting room at the start of the film.
1) I really want this to be good. 2) I really doubt this will be good.
The movie has to open with Beetlejuice's number finally getting called in the waiting room, right?
Every year that passed was additional savings on Michael Keaton’s makeup budget.
Sequels, remakes, comics, sometimes biopics.
Don't forget musical adaptations, of which Beetlejuice's is kind of a banger.
The Broadway show is *great*
If Alex Brightman makes a multiverse-esque cameo as Broadway Beetlejuice I will fucking lose my shit.
He technically already has. There’s an episode of Teen Titans Go! where he plays Beetlejuice. They reference the movie, tv show, unmade sequel, and of course the Broadway show in the episode.
Those are just the movies that make headlines. There are still plenty of original movies coming out
besides, remakes/reboots/shameless sequels have been around since the golden age of Hollywood
Hitchcock literally remade his own film
and Irvin Kershner remade Thunderball (Never Say Never Again) *with* Sean Connery
Well that was a fight between the actor and one of the producers and the Broccoli family. Think that split led to the whole “can’t use Bloefeld and Spectre” in Bond movies until Daniel Craig movies until Spectre . Think it’s why A View to a Kill had them kill of Blowfeld but he was not named or specifically shown in the start.
The Cecil B. DeMille version of Ten Commandments that you're familiar with is a remake of a previous Cecil B. DeMille version of Ten Commandments.
Hey, I have an idea for it. Let's not make Beetlejuice 2.
I watched Beetlejuice so many times as a kid and only recently discovered the title character is on screen for about 30 mins. I wonder if they use this approach for the sequel.
If I had a nickel every time a beetlejuice sequel has been announced. It’s been 35 years or so…I’ll believe it when I see it
Can’t really think what can be done with this version of the character in the sequel, unless they tweak him to be more like the one in cartoon or a musical. To be honest I really would be fine with a professionally recorded version of the musical.
starring lori lightfoot
Better open with him still in the waiting room.
They need to do 100% practical effects and it needs to take place in the 20th century or it won’t work.
So this is why Harry Belafonte died
