I actually find it a bit heartwarming that with all the CGI tools nowadays that could easily digitally create these building additions, they've decided instead to handcraft the original sets physically in the original location. That alone gives me a bit of hype for the upcoming movie because it displays a respect and love of the original that tends to show itself in the final product.
I think it's because Burton understands that physical sets and tangible props will always look good to the human eye if it looks good on camera in the moment, but CGI moves so quickly it ages within a year or two. Just look at some of the CGI-heavy movies from ten years ago, in comparison to what's being produced today it looks quite poor. Real props and real sets have a fidelity that's ageless, while CGI often looks tired and obvious within just a few years simply because it's progressing and evolving quickly. I think he's aiming to produce something that's going to look great for decades, not something that's going to look good for a year or two.
Michael Keaton recently said: “We both agreed, if it happens, it has to be done as close to the way we made it the first time,” Keaton said, noting the importance of using practical effects and “improvising and riffing, but literally handmade stuff like people creating things with their hands and building something.”
This is really cool! The fact they are able to come back after 35 years and build the house again on the same spot is amazing. Thank you for going back to this town and sharing this.
Yeah it is pretty cool... They can rebuild the sets though I guess not the cast. It doesn't appear Geena Davis or Alec Baldwin are part of the sequel. Which they were supposed to be stuck in the house for something like a hundred years so I wonder how the movie will address their absence🤔
@@mikesilva3868 Hopefully, they will have the ex-Chicago Mayor, Lori Lightfoot, as the MAIN character , that ALONE, will gross over $900 million, in the 1st week
My husband grew up here. While they were filming, Geena Davis & Alec Baldwin visited the elementary school and had a little Q&A with the students about what all the commotion was about on the one day he was out sick with the chicken pox. He took me to see it exactly a year ago and we visited his grandmother's grave in the cemetery which is next to where the Deetz's house was. Coincidentally, the character credited as Little Jane was on the swim team that shared the pool with mine when we were in high school in NH. Unrelated, my Sister now lives in the neighborhood where Edward Scissorhands was filmed so these Tim Burton films occupy a weird cosmic space in my life aside from being among my favorite films.
Yes, thankyou!!! Massive Beetlejucie fan here in Western Australia. Seeing this to me is like a little kid seeing Disneyworld 😁 amazing that you got this on film for us to experience, great narration and filming too. Thanks again! 😍
LOCATION UPDATE: The former Maitland hardware store is now a coffee shop, the former barber shop next door is now a pet store, and the new mystery building on the set that sits next to the pet shop is a clothing store.
They actually did the filming here already. They finished filming in Vermont. They also filmed some things prior to Vermont in London. From what I understand they were supposed to be filming in Massachusetts after Vermont, but that may have been affected.
I didn’t know either, it really slipped through the cracks. Thankfully I stumbled across it when I did or I would have totally missed a chance to stop and see this.

I'm usually not excited about sequels but I can't wait for this one. The rebuilding of the set, the story about Tim Burton coming back to the town is so cool. I hope it's epic and adds to the story wonderfully.
I saw it today, and I’m pleased to report that it is in fact quite good. It’s a little different than I expected, and perhaps not quite as good as the original, but that’s a high bar. It’s well worth seeing in the theater. I’ll go see it at least once more.
I'm not even a Beetlejuice fan, but this is really cool. Couldn't imagine how exciting this stuff is for long-time fans of the film. Hope the movie is as good as it can be for ya'll.
Saw the movie last week and it was amazing! Not gonna lie that it breaks my heart that they tear down the "buildings" but I 100% understand why. But my question is, if the governor knows how iconic the first movie was and the second one is proving to be the same, why don't they build the town buildings as a tourist attraction? Just a thought.
That's so cool that they actually brought back the house. Probably nothing can surpass the original movie but I'm glad they're doing a sequel and I really can't wait to watch it. I saw your original videos and this one is awesome too
So good that they're returning to the same places and recreating it all. Goes to show that we tend to think of these movies as "so long ago" but in reality, they're not that long ago. They can just come back and recreat it all no problem, we tend to lament the passing of time but not much time has really passed, years aren't that long. Thanks for posting this, I really enjoyed seeing it
The Hobbiton set for "Lord of the Rings" was constructed to on a cattle and sheep farm in New Zealand. After the three films were shot, it was partially demolished, but fans started coming by to see what remained. When the landowners were contacted for use of the site in the three "Hobbit" prequel films, they agreed on the condition that the set be made permanent, so it could become a tourist attraction. It then became the most visited site in the country. The folks in this Vermont town might not want such notoriety, but if the sequal is not a bomb, they may be able to capitalize on it.
@@charlesyoung7436 it would be pretty difficult as it's merely a facade so nothing inside and probably not built to last. All interior shots are done in a studio. Someone will have to foot the bill to keep it on that plot of land. I'm not sure it would be that popular of a tourist destination. How do you profit from it too? The house is on a hill in a big open field. Are you going to put a giant fence around it to stop people looking at it for free? There's nothing inside the building and it's likely unsafe to take people inside anyway so a tour of the house is out of the question.
What’s up brother! Thought I might hear from you on here. How cool is this that it is back?! I’m working on another project separate from this. I hope to have it done here over the next several days, it’s something that you and I were both interested in. Keep your eyes open for it. You working on anything new yourself? Always love your stuff too!
@@ComeSeeWithMe That’s great to hear… and this is very cool! I will def keep my eyes peeled for it. Great to hear from you. I have several in the works, and trying to have the next up by Sunday.
Cool to see this is being done old school instead of CGI. I too wish they rebuild the hardware store to be a permanent building but they can't for liability reasons as it's just a prop. The plus side the ski company is getting the new covered bridge again which is pretty cool. Looking forward to the movie when it gets released.
Bro! You hit jackpot to get there whilst dressing it all up! Great video. That whole village or town whatever it is is one huge beautiful movie set. Wow awesome
The fact they are putting in all this extra tlc that could easily be added cheaply with CG really brings hope and hype to this film!!! Thanks for sharing!
Wow. Awesome! I had heard they were filming a new movie but had no idea they were doing some filming in Vermont again. That is great you were able to get so much footage of the town being transformed back to the same look and also have views of the house being rebuilt.
Great Coverage you're really there. I swear I'm giggling like a kid right now how exciting. I wish I lived there. To see all this in person lol thank you for sharing I can't wait to see how Beetlejuice 2 comes out #80skid #beetlejuice2
It’s very cool to be there. Every time I go back to this place it gets better and better. This time was very exciting because of all the changes going on and it’s exciting to see what’s about to happen again there. It truly is a really beautiful little village. If you’re someone who loves big city life, you’d be bored out of your mind there. But if you love a rural setting, nature, the outdoors and Beetlejuice, then it would be paradise. 🙂
Thank you for experiencing this to us. 🤩 I was 12 year old when I watch the Original movie. And seeing this again and the actual town is amazing. really amazing. 👍
Man that brings back memories for my older mind! I appreciate the time that you took as well as the footage! Keep it up some of us find a tad bit of nostalgia in stuff just as this, thank you!
THIS MOVIE TOUCHED MY CHILDHOOD SO MUCH THAT IT WAS LIKE A LEGEND FOR ME. I WAS MESMERIZED WHEN I WATCHED IT. I THINK THE SECOND MOVIE FELT AS COMPLEMENTARY AND SUCCESSFUL IN MY OPINION.
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for updating all of us!! Obsessed with Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Michael Keaton, Helena Bonham Carter,and all those amazing people for most of my life. Didn't know about this til tonight! 🎉🎉🎉
Interesting to hear Tim was personally supervising the Location Scouting for this place. If i was living there i would have invited the whole team for coffee and cake. Nice to see the teased sequel is actually now getting into production. Burton & Keaton are just an amazing Combo. I'm sure Tim will also somehow incorporate Johnny Depp into the sequel somehow :P I would absolutely not be surprised.
Yeah I thought that was a cool story seeing him outside her house like that. From what I gathered from her I got the impression he was back there with a staff to determine if they could move forward with this project at the same location. Thankfully that little village is a time capsule. Apparently he felt the same way and production moved forward.
This is so cool. I loved that movie when I was younger and my daughters loved it and my grandkids just watched it not long ago and they loved it. Can’t wait to show this to them all. Thanks for sharing this.
Great video, great detail captured of all the areas you recorded. My favorite part was when you spoke of the residents, and their memories, and photos taken at the time of the original movie. Will you be doing a follow up, possibly getting some interviews of how the residents feel about Beetlejuice 2? I would really love to hear from the residents about their memories of the original, and their thoughts now on a sequel. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. You know, that would be something I would really enjoy doing. I never really gave it much thought before you mentioned it. Unfortunately I won’t probably be back in that area until next summer. But thanks for planting the seed. You’ve given me something to think about.
Man, everything about the news leading up to the start of filming (cast, crew, etc) just felt too good to be true... and now we're going back to Winter River of all things 😍 I REALLY hope this film does good / is as good as it seems it's turning out to be. I absolutely love this movie.
This is amazing that they are building it exactly the same I'm not big on sequels either but man I hope they do this one Justice it looks like they are by the way they are building
This is awesome man. Like you, I heard of the 2nd one but had no idea they were putting facades in and rebuilding the structures but it's cool you got ahead of this immediately. Too bad about that bridge being moved again though for liability purposes.
I agree, it would be cool if they could keep it, but I do understand why. I can tell you one thing, a lot of the people I spoke with who live there wish something permanently could be done to the old hardware store though. Many of the other locations were still in decent shape, but that one was a disaster. Hopefully one day they can actually do something with that one. Still, it was very cool to see what’s happening there though.
@@ComeSeeWithMe Mm-hmm. That hardware store was the main one on my mind as well. First thought they were going to repair it for them until you showed it was just them building it out as a façade. Cheers.
@@AdamtheGrey02 Hopefully, they will have the ex-Chicago Mayor, Lori Lightfoot, as the MAIN character , that ALONE, will gross over $900 million, in the 1st week
Your video was "time travel" to me. Whilst viewing it my mind was awash with reminiscing vapors of things long past. I am most envious of yourself, and others who are able to journey to these former movie sets, and explore. Again the power of being amongst the actual bits of "history", the "fuel" that has powered many a persons' lives and imagination's is to me...wonderous! Thankyou again for your efforts, and permitting me to tag along.😸😹😽
Awesome!! Thanks for visiting and bringing us this video. Very cool to see! Beetlejuice is a classic. I really...REALLY...hope they don't screw this sequel up. Usually they do, but I will hold out hope since sometimes they can nail it (Top Gun Maverik).
So exciting! Like you, I’m not typically a fan of sequels. I fall in love with characters and story, and am always worried how they’ll be ruined. I have a lot of hopes for this one (whatever it is), but am trying to temper my expectations. Still cool to see how it’s all coming together. Thanks for documenting it!
Thanks. I feel the same way. I had little excitement about it until I went back and saw what they were doing. I just assumed it was going to be entirely done on a studio in California or something, but seeing they’re at least likely going to replicate what they did here back in the 1980’s has increased my interest. It’s hard to stress how cool it is that Beetlejuice was/is filmed in this little town. It’s a tiny, off the beaten path village in the middle of Vermont. The face that not once but twice this movie was/is being filmed here is so cool. I have tracked down a lot of filming locations and this spot is a really unique little place. I can’t stress how much I appreciate that aspect of it.
This came up in my recommended feed so glad it was. I didn't even know they are making another Beetlejuice. After looking at the cast it looks like they are bringing everyone back. I will have to add it to the movie collection! Thanks for the video, you did a great job with it.
Great video thank you for sharing this.. it's great to see how they are changing things in that town and to see the before and after shots thank you again...
This is so great! I do wish they'd repair the hardware store instead of just build a facade. It looked like the wood said coffee shop side. I remember the pics from filming the house beside the fire house had. Cool they are doing the same thing with this bridge! Thank you kindly for doing this! :😀
Yes, and the residents there really stressed how they hope something will/can be done to improve it. Something interesting about that building is, it used to be an old store before Beetlejuice was filmed in it. I spoke with a resident who said she used to go in there for candy and things back when she was little. It would be cool to see it even restored to something like that one day. Anything would be better than what has happened to it currently, aside from the facade for the movie.
@@ComeSeeWithMe That's awesome! I love hearing those stories and would love for it to be there as something to people to share with and make new memories. :)
Good catch on the coffee shop side. I noticed writing on the panels but didn’t even read what it said. Looks like maybe the hardware store is going to be a coffee shop. Thanks for pointing that out.
Beetlejuice is one of the most inventive and inspired movies of all time, I'm very curious to see if Burton can go back to his younger thinking again. It feels like it can be a dud, but I'm willing to risk it this time, since it feels like the first movie can stand on its own if this one fails.
Pretty sure it'll be 💩 I'm old enough to have learned by now that past performance never indicates future results. No matter how cool the person or thing is.
Thank you so much for making this video i love this movie so much and wish so bad that i could go to see the location of the movie but i don't drive and am in bad health with my heart and back so i just simply can't get out that way. Anyway im very excited about this new movie i literally watch the original a few times a week its one of my all time favorite movies. Thanks again and if any chance of anything more in terms of this movie id be do extremely grateful. Thanks again and have a great day.🙂👍🎥🎞🎬📽
INCREDIBLE 😊 absolutely loved how the put the facade of the building on the front Amazing how a movie can reconstruct an entire town. Great job on this
Love the original movie , going to be interesting to see what this is going to be like . I'm from Ct where the state " Winter River " was deemed to be in . Can remember when it came out I was trying to see where in Ct it was , but quickly found out , there is no Winter River Ct , LOL !!! The town where this is being filmed , so small New England town looking , would really love to live there !!
Very neat. It’s always incredible to me how locations, set pieces, etc for certain iconic movies can basically just be left for ruin or just don’t exist at all anymore. I mean, Beetlejuice wasn’t a best picture award winner or anything, but it spawned shows at the Universal parks for decades, as well as appearances at Halloween Horror Nights, it had a Saturday morning cartoon for a few years in the early 90’s, it was one of Tim Burton’s first few films, there were toys and merchandising for it, and it’s a real cult classic. Other movies I’ve seen similar ruin like the hardware store, are the sites from What About Bob?, and the western exterior sets from Back to the Future III. I guess being so into movies, and even getting into film and television as a career myself, I think that all of these things would be perfectly preserved like a shrine. But many times they’re just left to rot. I suppose that’s Hollywood magic, but I wish more of it could be kept and preserved. But regardless, I’m excited to hear that there will be another Beetlejuice. Or at least cautiously optimistic. There sure have been a ton of bad sequels to classic films the past 10-15 years that really shouldn’t have been made in my opinion. At least the way they were done. I wish Hollywood could just come up with more brand NEW ideas like the original Beetlejuice. Today everything is a sequel, remake, comic book movie, or superhero movie. And even with those thru rehash the characters again every 4-5 years. How many Spider-Man actors have there been now? Or Batman? Or Superman? I used to be SO excited for them back in the late 80’s through the early 2000’s, even going to the first midnight screenings. But now it’s to the point where I don’t even watch most at home when I can for free.
I am thankful for that opportunity. We had new and exciting movies that were originals. It was a great time to be a movie goer, but honestly, that was all we had back then. With new technology, todays generation has many more options and while they enjoy movie watching, it's a different time. We were so, so lucky!
Really nice video. Great footage of the making of the façades. When this movie comes out on DVD I hope they use your footage on the bonus features part of it . WELL done Boss 👍👍
This was awesome to see! Thanks for your work & sharing this. I love location videos 😊. I can’t wait to see the new movie. It seems like it’s possibly going to be a remake
Thank you. And I agree, with the way they look to be reconstructing everything, I think it may also be a remake. Either way, it was really cool to seem the little town coming back to life as it did back in 1988.
I’ve visited 3 times, with the last 2 visits coming last summer and a week ago. It’s not like I need to tell you or that you don’t already know for yourself, but you live in such a naturally beautiful area. Every time I come back to Vermont I fall more and more in love with it.
I want to go there and visit! I hope they leave it like that after the movie is made, specially the house. Maybe this time, they can build an official BJ museum in that town. That'd be awesome!!
The fact is, Beetlejuice 2 is filming right now 😅 Edit: I'm not sorry I know this info from following Jenna Ortega's casting news in Beetlejuice 2. Also, WB greenlit the whole project quickly when Tim took over and bringing along Jenna to join the old cast 😎
Yes, from what I gather, they won’t start filming in East Corinth until mid-July. I was told filming was to actually begin there on July 11, which is why they’re coming down the home stretch now with all these buildings.
Thank you! The house had me most excited, just seeing it sitting back up on the hill was a rush. And BTW, I’ve been a subscriber to your channel for a few years now and enjoy your adventures. I know you two did a visit to the Beetlejuice locations before if I remember correctly. Anyway, thanks for the comment and keep up the good work.
Its a shame in a way that they dont just repair the old hardware shop rather then do a spec building, that way the locals get a prettier looking town after and a new generation of people can see the original building for another few decades or more. Currently it looks like the hardware store behind the spec building will collapse soon without restoration. They could also donate the old filmsets (Main House) to the town should they want to keep them as a tourist attraction.
when this is completed, it has to be as excellent as the first movie from all the time taken to make sure everything looks exactly as it did 30 years ago.
The film is the sequel to Beetlejuice and stars Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Jenna Ortega, Monica Bellucci, and Willem Dafoe. Release date: September 6, 2024
I know it's probably cheaper to do it the way they do, but you'd think they could work with local contractors and the town to build permanent structures they could leave when done filming. Leave the covered bridge, revamp that hardware store, etc. They'd be able to leave the town in a better state than when they arrived.
It would be great. It would also take them a lot of time to get everything to code, all materials sourced, etc. Especially when there is a shortage of contractors and materials, both. I do know that some films have helped with restoration of important community structures in the past and it's a win-win, for sure!
The bridge has weight limits and was not designed to have something added to it like that. A real cover bridge is also far more substantial in structure, as the "sides" are what support the roadway. As for the houses etc - would be prohibitively expensive to build that and the interior spaces, water/utilities and such. Not worth the huge extra cost.
Yeah I couldn’t help but get kind of a weird feeling seeing some buildings look run down and getting a new facade for a movie just to be taken down again later.
They were filming today! Drove through in the afternoon and everything was aetup with people everywhere. The middle building had a sign up that says Winter River Vintage! Cool stuff. Wasn't anywhere to park and watch that i could easily find. Glad i saw your video to know to drivw through.
Awesome!!! Thanks for the update! Were they letting people watch from distance in the background? The reason I ask is because I know they did during the first one and I assume they would let them do it again this time around. Thanks again for the update!
@@ComeSeeWithMe it looked like people were watching on the hill across from the faux store. Everything was marked with no stopping/no parking so it might be a hike for non locals. I just drove by a few times and took pics while driving.

EXACTLY! I think this type of thing is what audiences are craving now, and hopefully Hollywood has recognized that.

The house is on a hill in a big open field. Are you going to put a giant fence around it to stop people looking at it for free? There's nothing inside the building and it's likely unsafe to take people inside anyway so a tour of the house is out of the question.
OMG..brooooo… AMAZING.
I’m speechless lol.
What’s up brother! Thought I might hear from you on here. How cool is this that it is back?! I’m working on another project separate from this. I hope to have it done here over the next several days, it’s something that you and I were both interested in. Keep your eyes open for it. You working on anything new yourself? Always love your stuff too!
@@ComeSeeWithMe That’s great to hear… and this is very cool!
I will def keep my eyes peeled for it. Great to hear from you. I have several in the works, and trying to have the next up by Sunday.
Looking forward to seeing what you’ve cooked up!
@@ComeSeeWithMe likewise bud… It will prob be midweek at some point.
All the construction at these locations is amazing, and after all this time. Who would have thought. 🖤
👍
Cool to see this is being done old school instead of CGI. I too wish they rebuild the hardware store to be a permanent building but they can't for liability reasons as it's just a prop. The plus side the ski company is getting the new covered bridge again which is pretty cool. Looking forward to the movie when it gets released.
I agree, I love how they went right back to the original site and are going to run it back again.
Bro! You hit jackpot to get there whilst dressing it all up! Great video. That whole village or town whatever it is is one huge beautiful movie set. Wow awesome
Thanks!
The fact they are putting in all this extra tlc that could easily be added cheaply with CG really brings hope and hype to this film!!! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome.
Such a fun site visit. Excited for Beetlejuice 2. Thank you!
Thanks and you’re welcome.
Thank you so much for posting. This is one of our favorite movies. Looking forward to BJ2
You’re welcome!
Wow. Awesome! I had heard they were filming a new movie but had no idea they were doing some filming in Vermont again. That is great you were able to get so much footage of the town being transformed back to the same look and also have views of the house being rebuilt.
Thanks, glad you liked it.
uh yes this is a Sequel, and Michael Keaton is back as Beetlejuice, Tim Burton who directed the first one is of course directing the Sequel.
Great Coverage you're really there. I swear I'm giggling like a kid right now how exciting. I wish I lived there. To see all this in person lol thank you for sharing I can't wait to see how Beetlejuice 2 comes out #80skid #beetlejuice2
It’s very cool to be there. Every time I go back to this place it gets better and better. This time was very exciting because of all the changes going on and it’s exciting to see what’s about to happen again there. It truly is a really beautiful little village. If you’re someone who loves big city life, you’d be bored out of your mind there. But if you love a rural setting, nature, the outdoors and Beetlejuice, then it would be paradise. 🙂
Im so excited! Hope most of the original cast is in it!!
I’m looking forward to it too!
Thank you for experiencing this to us. 🤩 I was 12 year old when I watch the Original movie. And seeing this again and the actual town is amazing. really amazing. 👍
You’re welcome!
Man that brings back memories for my older mind! I appreciate the time that you took as well as the footage! Keep it up some of us find a tad bit of nostalgia in stuff just as this, thank you!
Thanks!
THIS MOVIE TOUCHED MY CHILDHOOD SO MUCH THAT IT WAS LIKE A LEGEND FOR ME. I WAS MESMERIZED WHEN I WATCHED IT. I THINK THE SECOND MOVIE FELT AS COMPLEMENTARY AND SUCCESSFUL IN MY OPINION.
I agree, I think the second one complimented the first one and carried over well. They did a very good job with it.
It was a little different than I expected, but I agree, they did well with this movie. I enjoyed it a lot.
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for updating all of us!! Obsessed with Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Michael Keaton, Helena Bonham Carter,and all those amazing people for most of my life. Didn't know about this til tonight! 🎉🎉🎉
You’re welcome!
Thanks for the look at the construction. Looking forward to the sequel.
You’re welcome.
Interesting to hear Tim was personally supervising the Location Scouting for this place. If i was living there i would have invited the whole team for coffee and cake. Nice to see the teased sequel is actually now getting into production. Burton & Keaton are just an amazing Combo. I'm sure Tim will also somehow incorporate Johnny Depp into the sequel somehow :P I would absolutely not be surprised.
Yeah I thought that was a cool story seeing him outside her house like that. From what I gathered from her I got the impression he was back there with a staff to determine if they could move forward with this project at the same location. Thankfully that little village is a time capsule. Apparently he felt the same way and production moved forward.
@@ComeSeeWithMe Yeah they really kept this place more or less identical for 35 years
This is so cool. I loved that movie when I was younger and my daughters loved it and my grandkids just watched it not long ago and they loved it. Can’t wait to show this to them all. Thanks for sharing this.
You’re welcome and I hope they enjoy seeing this if you show it to them.
Great video, great detail captured of all the areas you recorded. My favorite part was when you spoke of the residents, and their memories, and photos taken at the time of the original movie. Will you be doing a follow up, possibly getting some interviews of how the residents feel about Beetlejuice 2? I would really love to hear from the residents about their memories of the original, and their thoughts now on a sequel. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. You know, that would be something I would really enjoy doing. I never really gave it much thought before you mentioned it. Unfortunately I won’t probably be back in that area until next summer. But thanks for planting the seed. You’ve given me something to think about.
Totally Rad filming!! Thank you so very much for showing us!
You’re welcome!
Man, everything about the news leading up to the start of filming (cast, crew, etc) just felt too good to be true... and now we're going back to Winter River of all things 😍 I REALLY hope this film does good / is as good as it seems it's turning out to be. I absolutely love this movie.
👍
This is amazing that they are building it exactly the same I'm not big on sequels either but man I hope they do this one Justice it looks like they are by the way they are building
I agree and feel the same way
OMG I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH For sharing this with us!!! ❤️ it’s showtime!
You’re welcome!
I live in the area and I love that they are building a set for part two
I agree, it’s great to see them come back to where it began again.
So excited for Beetlejuice 2! From what I hear, it will be a sequel with a grown-up Lydia.
What a stunning beautiful location and especially on a nice sunny day thanks for posting this really appreciate it .
I agree, it’s a very beautiful area!
This is awesome man. Like you, I heard of the 2nd one but had no idea they were putting facades in and rebuilding the structures but it's cool you got ahead of this immediately. Too bad about that bridge being moved again though for liability purposes.
I agree, it would be cool if they could keep it, but I do understand why. I can tell you one thing, a lot of the people I spoke with who live there wish something permanently could be done to the old hardware store though. Many of the other locations were still in decent shape, but that one was a disaster. Hopefully one day they can actually do something with that one. Still, it was very cool to see what’s happening there though.
@@ComeSeeWithMe Mm-hmm. That hardware store was the main one on my mind as well. First thought they were going to repair it for them until you showed it was just them building it out as a façade. Cheers.
@@AdamtheGrey02 Hopefully, they will have the ex-Chicago Mayor, Lori Lightfoot, as the MAIN character , that ALONE, will gross over $900 million, in the 1st week
@@saminaneen 😂
Awesome! Can’t wait to see Keaton back
👍
Your video was "time travel" to me. Whilst viewing it my mind was awash with reminiscing vapors of things long past. I am most envious of yourself, and others who are able to journey to these former movie sets, and explore. Again the power of being amongst the actual bits of "history", the "fuel" that has powered many a persons' lives and imagination's is to me...wonderous! Thankyou again for your efforts, and permitting me to tag along.😸😹😽
Thanks, and you’re welcome! This is exactly the reason I do these kind of videos. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I"m looking forward to seeing the second instalment of Beetlejuice!
Same!
This is amazing I didn't know there was going to be a Beetlejuice 2 let alone have any idea that I could look at the set thank you so much for this
Neither did I, it came as a surprise to me too. And you’re welcome.
@@ComeSeeWithMe I've been looking at some of your other work and it's fascinating! Count to me as your newest subscriber 🥳
Beetlejuice was one of my favourite films growing up I fell in love with Winona Ryder and dark comedy films instantly
Thanks very much! I appreciate it!
@@ComeSeeWithMe apparently Jenna ortega is starring in it. I'm not surprised after the success of Wednesday
Awesome!! Thanks for visiting and bringing us this video. Very cool to see! Beetlejuice is a classic. I really...REALLY...hope they don't screw this sequel up. Usually they do, but I will hold out hope since sometimes they can nail it (Top Gun Maverik).
I hope it turns out well also.
6:41 the piece of wood has coffee shop side on it so there will be a coffee shop
Yes, and it turned out to be. I didn’t notice that at first but others have also since pointed it out.
Never really thought this movie would get made after hearing them talk about making it for so long, I hope it's good!
Me too, always heard talk about it. It snuck up on me in a surprise.
Nice thing about little towns like this, not much changes even after 35 years.
Exactly!
So exciting! Like you, I’m not typically a fan of sequels. I fall in love with characters and story, and am always worried how they’ll be ruined. I have a lot of hopes for this one (whatever it is), but am trying to temper my expectations. Still cool to see how it’s all coming together. Thanks for documenting it!
Thanks. I feel the same way. I had little excitement about it until I went back and saw what they were doing. I just assumed it was going to be entirely done on a studio in California or something, but seeing they’re at least likely going to replicate what they did here back in the 1980’s has increased my interest. It’s hard to stress how cool it is that Beetlejuice was/is filmed in this little town. It’s a tiny, off the beaten path village in the middle of Vermont. The face that not once but twice this movie was/is being filmed here is so cool. I have tracked down a lot of filming locations and this spot is a really unique little place. I can’t stress how much I appreciate that aspect of it.
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing. I'll be through that region next week and it's a definite detour now.
For sure. The sets should be all finished up by then.
This came up in my recommended feed so glad it was. I didn't even know they are making another Beetlejuice. After looking at the cast it looks like they are bringing everyone back. I will have to add it to the movie collection! Thanks for the video, you did a great job with it.
It surprised me too. And thanks!
@Lithonion1 gena davis too?
Great video thank you for sharing this.. it's great to see how they are changing things in that town and to see the before and after shots thank you again...
You’re welcome!
This is so great! I do wish they'd repair the hardware store instead of just build a facade. It looked like the wood said coffee shop side. I remember the pics from filming the house beside the fire house had. Cool they are doing the same thing with this bridge! Thank you kindly for doing this! :😀
I agree about the hardware store. Maybe one day it can be saved.
@@ComeSeeWithMe *fingers crossed * 😀
Yes, and the residents there really stressed how they hope something will/can be done to improve it. Something interesting about that building is, it used to be an old store before Beetlejuice was filmed in it. I spoke with a resident who said she used to go in there for candy and things back when she was little. It would be cool to see it even restored to something like that one day. Anything would be better than what has happened to it currently, aside from the facade for the movie.
@@ComeSeeWithMe That's awesome! I love hearing those stories and would love for it to be there as something to people to share with and make new memories. :)
Good catch on the coffee shop side. I noticed writing on the panels but didn’t even read what it said. Looks like maybe the hardware store is going to be a coffee shop. Thanks for pointing that out.
This was so fun to see - thank you for sharing!! I'm excited for the new movie - Beetlejuice is one of my faves. 🥰🥰
You’re welcome!
Beetlejuice is one of the most inventive and inspired movies of all time, I'm very curious to see if Burton can go back to his younger thinking again. It feels like it can be a dud, but I'm willing to risk it this time, since it feels like the first movie can stand on its own if this one fails.
😬 ugh... I hope he can go back to younger thinking creatively as well. Hollywood loves sequels, prequels and remakes.
Pretty sure it'll be 💩
I'm old enough to have learned by now that past performance never indicates future results.
No matter how cool the person or thing is.
@@AquarianNomadic 🤣🤣
@@Eet_Mia You sound like a bitter woman.
My question is ...will Alec Baldwin be in it? I dont know if him shooting someone will have him off the casting
Thank you so much for making this video i love this movie so much and wish so bad that i could go to see the location of the movie but i don't drive and am in bad health with my heart and back so i just simply can't get out that way. Anyway im very excited about this new movie i literally watch the original a few times a week its one of my all time favorite movies.
Thanks again and if any chance of anything more in terms of this movie id be do extremely grateful.
Thanks again and have a great day.🙂👍🎥🎞🎬📽
Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I'm a big fan of Beetlejuice and im so happy they're doing a part 2
👍
Is the original cast in it?
INCREDIBLE 😊 absolutely loved how the put the facade of the building on the front
Amazing how a movie can reconstruct an entire town.
Great job on this
I thought it was very cool as well, and thank you!
Love the original movie , going to be interesting to see what this is going to be like . I'm from Ct where the state " Winter River " was deemed to be in . Can remember when it came out I was trying to see where in Ct it was , but quickly found out , there is no Winter River Ct , LOL !!! The town where this is being filmed , so small New England town looking , would really love to live there !!
It’s a beautiful little village. And you are correct, the town name is simply made up for the movie.
Pretty cool! It’s so beautiful up there, and it looks like it’s easy to work in that environment verse Florida right now at 107….. 😅
It was a beautiful, low humidity 84 degrees when I was there shooting that. A beautiful day in a beautiful place. You can never go wrong with that.
Very neat. It’s always incredible to me how locations, set pieces, etc for certain iconic movies can basically just be left for ruin or just don’t exist at all anymore. I mean, Beetlejuice wasn’t a best picture award winner or anything, but it spawned shows at the Universal parks for decades, as well as appearances at Halloween Horror Nights, it had a Saturday morning cartoon for a few years in the early 90’s, it was one of Tim Burton’s first few films, there were toys and merchandising for it, and it’s a real cult classic. Other movies I’ve seen similar ruin like the hardware store, are the sites from What About Bob?, and the western exterior sets from Back to the Future III. I guess being so into movies, and even getting into film and television as a career myself, I think that all of these things would be perfectly preserved like a shrine. But many times they’re just left to rot. I suppose that’s Hollywood magic, but I wish more of it could be kept and preserved. But regardless, I’m excited to hear that there will be another Beetlejuice. Or at least cautiously optimistic. There sure have been a ton of bad sequels to classic films the past 10-15 years that really shouldn’t have been made in my opinion. At least the way they were done. I wish Hollywood could just come up with more brand NEW ideas like the original Beetlejuice. Today everything is a sequel, remake, comic book movie, or superhero movie. And even with those thru rehash the characters again every 4-5 years. How many Spider-Man actors have there been now? Or Batman? Or Superman? I used to be SO excited for them back in the late 80’s through the early 2000’s, even going to the first midnight screenings. But now it’s to the point where I don’t even watch most at home when I can for free.
My sentiments exactly.
I am thankful for that opportunity. We had new and exciting movies that were originals. It was a great time to be a movie goer, but honestly, that was all we had back then. With new technology, todays generation has many more options and while they enjoy movie watching, it's a different time. We were so, so lucky!
Really nice video. Great footage of the making of the façades.
When this movie comes out on DVD I hope they use your footage on the bonus features part of it . WELL done Boss 👍👍
Thank you very much!
This was awesome to see! Thanks for your work & sharing this. I love location videos 😊. I can’t wait to see the new movie. It seems like it’s possibly going to be a remake
Thank you. And I agree, with the way they look to be reconstructing everything, I think it may also be a remake. Either way, it was really cool to seem the little town coming back to life as it did back in 1988.
What a beautiful town. Thanks for going and filming this for us.
You’re welcome
Freaking awesome 👌 i cant wait and they using original sets
👍
Watching from Ireland, this movie was on repeat growing up in the late 80’s and 90’s. Look forward to the sequel. Thanks
You’re welcome!
I'm actually tearing up 🥺🤭 My all time favourite movie, over 30 years of joy, and its back! And the house is back! This is amazing 🤘🤩🤘
🙂
its really happening. were finally getting a sequel. cant wait.🍻
Me either!
It's so great how places like this don't really change much over the course of 35 years.
That village is like a time capsule.I love it for that reason.
Nope. That’s why I live there lol.
I’ve visited 3 times, with the last 2 visits coming last summer and a week ago. It’s not like I need to tell you or that you don’t already know for yourself, but you live in such a naturally beautiful area. Every time I come back to Vermont I fall more and more in love with it.
Fantastic work, thank you for sharing 😊.
Thank you!
I want to go there and visit! I hope they leave it like that after the movie is made, specially the house. Maybe this time, they can build an official BJ museum in that town. That'd be awesome!!
That would be awesome if they left it. Unfortunately I think they will be removing it all after filming. I hope I’m wrong.
Thank you for sharing this. I wasn't aware they were making another movie. Can't wait!
It snuck up on me too. And you’re welcome.
The fact is, Beetlejuice 2 is filming right now 😅
Edit: I'm not sorry I know this info from following Jenna Ortega's casting news in Beetlejuice 2. Also, WB greenlit the whole project quickly when Tim took over and bringing along Jenna to join the old cast 😎
Yes, from what I gather, they won’t start filming in East Corinth until mid-July. I was told filming was to actually begin there on July 11, which is why they’re coming down the home stretch now with all these buildings.
Wow what an awesome video. So excited for the second film. Thank you for taking the time to film this
You’re welcome and thanks.
Saw the original countless times in the theater. Hoping the sequel is just as strong 🤞
Me too
This is so amazing really enjoyed watching it thanks for sharing
You’re welcome!
I really hope Disney has nothing to do with it.
Why would Disney have anything to do with a All the Way WB movie property?
Wow this is so cool! I don’t know what I’m more excited about- the house or the bridge, but I’d love to visit just to see these. Great job on this!
Thank you! The house had me most excited, just seeing it sitting back up on the hill was a rush. And BTW, I’ve been a subscriber to your channel for a few years now and enjoy your adventures. I know you two did a visit to the Beetlejuice locations before if I remember correctly. Anyway, thanks for the comment and keep up the good work.
Its a shame in a way that they dont just repair the old hardware shop rather then do a spec building, that way the locals get a prettier looking town after and a new generation of people can see the original building for another few decades or more. Currently it looks like the hardware store behind the spec building will collapse soon without restoration. They could also donate the old filmsets (Main House) to the town should they want to keep them as a tourist attraction.
It’s in really bad shape. The hope is it’ll be repaired but I’m guessing it will eventually just be torn down.
@@ComeSeeWithMe Yeah such a waste, the spec building could have been repairs made to the front of the real building :(
I appreciate you Bro thanks for sharing all of this with us.
Hello from the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains.
You’re welcome!
when this is completed, it has to be as excellent as the first movie from all the time taken to make sure everything looks exactly as it did 30 years ago.
I love how they’re back at the same place doing nearly the same thing. Very cool!
Nice coverage.. Thanks for sharing that!
You’re welcome.
The film is the sequel to Beetlejuice and stars Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Jenna Ortega, Monica Bellucci, and Willem Dafoe.
Release date: September 6, 2024
Thank you
Fantastic video man, greatly appreciated. I hope to make it there myself one day, looks like a beautiful place.
Thanks! And I hope you get there yourself one day too.
I know it's probably cheaper to do it the way they do, but you'd think they could work with local contractors and the town to build permanent structures they could leave when done filming. Leave the covered bridge, revamp that hardware store, etc. They'd be able to leave the town in a better state than when they arrived.
It would be great. It would also take them a lot of time to get everything to code, all materials sourced, etc. Especially when there is a shortage of contractors and materials, both. I do know that some films have helped with restoration of important community structures in the past and it's a win-win, for sure!
The bridge has weight limits and was not designed to have something added to it like that. A real cover bridge is also far more substantial in structure, as the "sides" are what support the roadway. As for the houses etc - would be prohibitively expensive to build that and the interior spaces, water/utilities and such. Not worth the huge extra cost.
Yeah I couldn’t help but get kind of a weird feeling seeing some buildings look run down and getting a new facade for a movie just to be taken down again later.
At least the girls school building is being tidied up. The town will also benefit from tourism/visitors I'm sure.
They were filming today! Drove through in the afternoon and everything was aetup with people everywhere. The middle building had a sign up that says Winter River Vintage! Cool stuff. Wasn't anywhere to park and watch that i could easily find. Glad i saw your video to know to drivw through.
Awesome!!! Thanks for the update! Were they letting people watch from distance in the background? The reason I ask is because I know they did during the first one and I assume they would let them do it again this time around. Thanks again for the update!
@@ComeSeeWithMe it looked like people were watching on the hill across from the faux store. Everything was marked with no stopping/no parking so it might be a hike for non locals. I just drove by a few times and took pics while driving.
Also funny to see NO DRONES / no fly zone signs.
Interesting, but I understand why.
