In the forthcoming Tim Burton film “Beetlejuice 2,” actor and director Justin Theroux takes on the role of Rory, who is romantically involved with Winona Ryder’s character Lydia Deetz. Theroux recently shared his insights about working on this movie in an interview with Fox News Digital.

In our chat, he added his views on why he thinks creative directors such as Burton won’t be surpassed by artificial intelligence in the future. According to Theroux, when you watch Beetlejuice 2, you’ll understand that the film’s unique style and creativity are so quintessentially Burton’s that no AI could possibly replicate it, emphasizing “His vision is so singular.”

In simpler terms, the Violet actor expressed his opinion that while AI may contribute to films in the future, it is currently challenging to replicate the unique creativity found in a human mind like Tim Burton’s.

Later on, Theroux discussed his character, mentioning that Rory serves as a “complex factor.” The actor hinted that Rory doesn’t add much to the Deetz family dynamics. He further explained that Rory is Lydia’s love interest, but it appears that his intentions towards her are not pure, possibly driven by ill-intentioned motives such as a desire to marry her for questionable reasons.

As per the official summary, Beetlejuice 2 sees the return of the Deetz family to their Winter River residence following an unexpected family loss. Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her unruly teenage daughter, Astrid (portrayed by Jenna Ortega), discovers a model of the town in the attic and inadvertently opens a gateway to the Afterlife, freeing Betelgeuse in the process.

Theroux shared his excitement about stepping onto the sets and embracing this role, particularly collaborating with Burton and the exceptional cast. He further mentioned that one of the standout moments from the sequel was witnessing Catherine O’Hara’s performance. In his words, “She was undoubtedly the most remarkable special effect in the movie. She’s so funny. I admired every actor in our film.”

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will be released in theaters on September 6, 2024.
