Of course, Lydia was a great character from the original film aside from Keaton's Betelgeuse. She eventually also becomes vital to Keaton's character's fate in the Beetlejuice conclusion in which the chaotic bio-exorcist seeks to wed her. Ryder is right that the role cannot have stayed essentially unaltered over the past three-plus years, even if her performance in the first film is excellent.
For the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice persona, Lydia having a TV program seems like a huge step, but given themes from the original film, it makes sense. Lydia had an interest in the more sinister and darker sides of life as well as always being rather keen about photography. Combining these two passions in several ways, "Ghost House With Lydia Deetz" logically extraparts the character.
Once more under Tim Burton's direction, the follow-up to 1988's Beetlejuice has Michael Keaton returning as Betelgeuse, the turbulent bio-exorcist hired by a dead couple to clean their old house of its new family. Along with hinting at Ryder's return as Lydia Deetz and Catherine O'Hara's return as Delia, the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice trailers have previously shown Keaton's return.
Ryder hints in a recent Empire interview that Lydia will be an evolved lady in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice at least in some respects. Most importantly, the character now boasts a daughter, Astrid (Jenna Ortega) and her own TV show, "Ghost House With Lydia Deetz." Ryder confirms, nevertheless, that certain facets of the original movie's character still hold true. Please find her complete comment below:
Star of Beetlejuice Winona Ryder Beetlejuice describes how her character evolved during the past 36 years.
"I went through so many stages of, 'Who is she now?' but I always wanted Lydia to be there. She cannot become someone else. She was. She has to have matured, but she also has to have preserved that thing she had when we first met her. She cannot be exactly deadpan. That presented me with a major difficulty then.
With some fantastic phrases that define Lydia Deetz's character, she is among the most fascinating and unusual people Tim Burton has created.
Lydia has definitely changed since viewers last saw her, but including Ortega as Astrid is a fantastic choice. Based on what's shown in trailers, Astrid seems somewhat similar to a young Lydia, allowing Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to pay tribute to some of the original film's characteriszations. Though things are definitely looking bright, it is still to be seen how Lydia from Beetlejuice Beetle will really differ from her old self.
