00:00And had you worked with Tim Burton before?
00:02No, no, and that was a big draw.
00:04I mean, when he asked, I've followed him for years
00:06and I really like his movies.
00:08He's contributed a lot to movies.
00:10So when he asked me to do something,
00:12even if I'm not exactly sure what it's going to be,
00:15I was happy to sign off.
00:17And tell me a little bit about your character.
00:20What can you reveal to Beetlejuice fans?
00:24Listen, they should see the movie.
00:26I don't want to tell them what it is,
00:27but basically, I've said it before,
00:30I'm basically a cop in the afterlife.
00:35But in life, before I died,
00:38I was a B-action movie star.
00:43And so this affords me the possibility
00:46to make fun of myself a little bit
00:48because, you know, the narcissism of actors,
00:53things like that, are kind of played with in this.
00:55And in your recent films,
00:57you seem to be having a lot of make-up,
00:59cool things going on, more things.
01:01Yeah, make-up, make-up, make-up.
01:02Why is that?
01:03I don't know.
01:04People want to mess me up, I guess.
01:07How long did it take?
01:08They want to throw me a curveball.
01:10It took a while because each piece is painted.
01:12And, you know, that's another one of the pleasures of the movie
01:17is all the low-tech effects.
01:19It's really handmade stuff.
01:21It's really artiginal, you know.
01:24It's not a lot of stuff that's done in post.
01:27So it's fun because it has a kind of playful,
01:30goofy aesthetic.
01:34But, yeah, it still sticks with the horror genre in some respects.
01:40Helps you get into character.
01:40Yeah.
