With just a couple of months left before Tim Burton and Michael Keaton's long-awaited Beetlejuice Beetlejuice arrives in theaters, DC Comics has shared a slew of variant covers featuring the chaotic "bio-exorcist" invading the DC Universe.
These will begin rolling out next month and feature the sequel's title character crossing paths with the likes of Superman, Wonder Woman, and Harley Quinn.
However, the cover which has received the most attention is Beetlejuice looming large over Batman; it's not just any version of the Dark Knight, though! As we're sure you'll notice, that's the Batman played by Keaton in Burton's Batman and Batman Returns.
Here's when and where you'll find each of these variant covers:
Gotham City Sirens #2 - August 13 House of Secrets #92 (2024 Facsimile Edition) - August 21 Nightwing #117 - August 21 Superman #17 - August 21 Wonder Woman #12 - August 21 Batman #152 - September 4

Composer Nomi Abadi is suing “Batman” and “Beetlejuice” composer Danny Elfman for defamation stemming from statements he made to Rolling Stone last year that were included in an investigative piece about a settlement he made with his one-time protégé after she accused him of repeated sexual harassment and misconduct.
Abadi’s lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges that Elfman “peddled appalling lies for publication to Rolling Stone about Nomi.” The list of alleged lies covers statements made by the “Simpsons” composer and his representatives that claimed he did not engage in sexual misconduct toward Abadi, never masturbated in front of her, never touched her inappropriately and “never placed his bodily fluids in a martini glass he presented to Nomi,” as she alleged. The complaint also slammed Elfman and his team for depicting Abadi as “a scorned woman seeking revenge and money to make Elfman “pay for having...

David Lynch hasn’t directed a feature film since Inland Empire in 2006, but he has directed many shorts since then, as well as all 18 episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return. A while back, we heard that he’s hoping to make an animated film called Snootworld, which was rejected by the Netflix streaming service… but while we wait to find out whether or not Snootworld is going to find a home, Lynch is working with Chrystabell to send a new music album out into the world. This album is called Cellophane Memories and has a street date of August 2nd. Copies are available to pre-order at This Link.
In a video posted to X at the end of May, Lynch said, “Ladies and gentlemen, something is coming along for you to see and hear. And it will be coming along on June 5.” As it turns out, that “something” was a...

Even if David Lynch hasn’t directed for film or television since the release of his 2017 magnum opus “Twin Peaks: The Return,” he’s staying busy with new creative projects. Next up is “Cellophane Memories,” a new collaborative album he wrote and performed alongside “The Return” star Chyrstabell, which is set to be released this August.
The two artists debuted their debut single, “Sublime Eternal Love” in June, which was accompanied by a video directed by Lynch. Now, they’ve rolled out a second track from the album, “The Answers to the Questions,” that features another Lynch video. The animated video features a black-and-white room that will remind many fans of the Fireman’s house from “The Return,” while Chrystabell is portrayed as a lounge singer that provides the video’s sole source of color.

Updated: The 81st Venice Film Festival will open with the world premiere of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, Justin Theroux and Monica Bellucci, with Jenna Ortega and Willem Dafoe.
The Warner Bros sequel will be screened out of competition on Wednesday, August 28 at the Sala Grande, the festival said Tuesday. This will mark a return to the sort of glitzy red carpet with which Venice has become synonymous, after last year’s Lido event had less star-wattage than usual as it took place amid the SAG-AFTRA strike. Warner Bros starts international rollout on Beetlejuice 2 on September 4 with domestic joining September 6.

“Inside Out 2” roared into cinema in June, becoming Pixar’s highest-grossing film in a debut weekend of all time, while its current worldwide haul at this time of writing stands at just over one billion.
The first movie — one of the most ingenious films of this century — took audiences inside the head of young Riley as she navigated a move to a new city while her emotions tried to guide her through the move in her head. This second film brings back those emotions as Riley goes through her teenage years. But Joy and Sadness and the gang have to deal with several new emotions in headquarters, including Anxiety, Embarrassment, and Ennui.
But while the film marches towards $1 billion at the box office, could it also be marching towards awards glory? Well, animated flicks don’t get the justice they deserve when it comes to the Academy Awards. So often,...

Lisa Rinna has been sporting some edgy new looks since she ditched The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to become a big-time model, and her latest hair change is turning heads.
The actress recently jetted overseas for Paris Fashion Week and wanted something drastic for the Victor and Rolf show.
That’s exactly what she got; videos of the bleach-blonde spiked pixie have made their way online.
While the 60-year-old is known for experimenting with her hair, this is the first time she’s gone fully blonde.
Lisa appeared confident on the Parisian streets, wearing a black-and-white Tuxedo and black-rimmed glasses, as she posed for the photographers.
Critics are mocking Lisa’s new look on social media, but the mom of two is fine with that. She admits that she wanted to “freak people out.”

Fifteen years ago, writer/director Henry Selick brought the world a stop-motion animated adaptation of the Neil Gaiman novella Coraline – and now, Variety confirmed, he’s planning to make another Gaiman-inspired movie. This time, Selick will be bringing the story of Gaiman’s novel The Ocean at the End of the Lane, which Selick considers to be the author’s crowning achievement, to the screen. Hanna director Joe Wright was attached to direct a live-action adaptation of the novel back in 2013, but that never made it into production.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane has the following description: A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother.

When it comes to stop-motion animated films, American filmmaker and clay animator Henry Selick is your guy. He's directed some of the best stop-motion films, such as The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, Coraline and Wendell & Wild. Now, he's looking to make a stop-motion animated film adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane. More on this below.
This wouldn't be the first time that Selick and Gaiman collaborated. They previously worked together on the 2009 stop-motion animated movie Coraline. Selick wrote the script and helmed the film, which was based on Gaiman's 2002 dark fantasy horror children's novella of the same name.
The critically acclaimed stop-motion flick was a box-office hit, grossing $131.8 million against a $60 million budget. It even went on to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and a Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film.

In what should be an instance of internet-breaking news that would grind the work day to a halt as much as any "Deadpool" trailer does, a living legend has announced that he's developing a new, buzzy-sounding project -- one that he describes as a sort of companion piece to arguably one of his greatest movies ever. Filmmaker and stop-motion expert Henry Selick is somehow both an unqualified titan in the industry and an under-appreciated talent at the same time. But even after delivering the excellent "Wendell & Wild" in 2022 without the fanfare he deserved, Selick is now setting his sights on his next venture ... and it's thematically linked to everyone's favorite button-eyed nightmare, "Coraline."
In a late-breaking bit of news, Variety reported last night that Selick is setting his sights on an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 2013 novel, "The Ocean at the End of the Lane." What's more, he actually...

While we wait for Coraline to return to theaters with a brand new 3D remaster this August, director Henry Selick’s (Nightmare Before Christmas) next project has been revealed.
Variety reports this week that Henry Selick is planning on making a stop motion animated adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s novel The Ocean at the End of the Lane his next movie.
Selick describes the project as “almost a sequel” to Coraline, serving as something of a companion piece to the beloved Gaiman/Selick stop motion collaboration from 2009.

Animation wizard Henry Selick has seen the remastered “Coraline.” And he loves it.
“It’s gorgeous. I saw it about a week and a half ago and it very much represents the original dream of how to use the 3D really well,” Selick said during a surprise appearance at Variety‘s “Laika Celebrates Coraline’s 15th Anniversary” panel at Annecy Animation Festival. “It took the original concept to a greater height.”
Moderated by Variety chief film critic Peter Debruge, Selick was joined by Laika’s Brian McLean (director of Rapid Prototype), Oliver Jones (director of Practical Effects) and Jeff Stringer (chief technology officer).
“I’ve gotten used to seeing ‘Coraline’ in 2D over the years, but nothing looks better in 3D than stop-motion,” Selick said, looking back at his years at Laika. “I was never more spoiled. I got support there like nobody’s business. Nobody was saying: ‘No, we don’t need that,...

Henry Selick is working on an adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Ocean At The End Of The Lane, which he describes as “almost a sequel” to Coraline.
Henry Selick, the animator behind some of the best stop motion films of all time, is currently working on what he describes as “almost a sequel” to his much-loved 2009 movie, Coraline. It’s an adaptation of The Ocean At The End Of The Lane, a 2013 novel written by British author Neil Gaiman, who also wrote Coraline.
Like Coraline, the book is a dark fantasy about childhood; indeed, Selick sees the story as almost a mirror image of that earlier work.
“Instead of a child going to this other world with a monstrous mother [like Coraline],” Selick told Variety, “it’s a monstrous mother who comes into our world to wreak havoc on a kid’s life.”
Although Selick first talked about adapting Gaiman’s book about two years ago,...

Stop-motion giant Henry Selick is back circling the Neil Gaiman adaptation “The Ocean at the End of the Lane,” confirming ongoing work with the English author alongside plans to make the project his next feature.
The filmmaker holds Gaiman’s 2013 novel in high esteem – calling the book Gaiman’s crowning achievement – and envisions the film as a companion piece to the duo’s modern classic “Coraline,” describing the development title as “almost a sequel.”
“Instead of a child going to this other world with a monstrous mother, it’s a monstrous mother who comes into our world to wreak havoc on a kid’s life,” he tells Variety.

The Tim Burton and Johnny Depp collaborations are certainly prolific. While Depp was a teen star on the Fox series 21 Jump Street, he had a weird creative force inside of him that a high school cop series didn’t fulfill. Then came a new movie called Edward Scissorhands that paired Depp with his long-time director friend. Deadline reports that Depp is being featured in a new docu-series that’s a retrospective on the career of Tim Burton, and the actor reveals who he beat out for the part of Edward.
According to People, Depp said the competition was stiff for the titular character and names like Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and even the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, were being considered for the role. Depp explained that Cruise “was not far away from actually playing Edward Scissorhands — true story.” Depp admitted to thinking, “He’s never going to cast...

Henry Selick’s modern classic “Coraline” turns 15 this year, and a new 3D remaster of the stop-motion feature (announced in February) will get a worldwide theatrical release this fall by Fathom in the U.S and Trafalgar Releasing in the rest of the world.
Limited screenings will begin on August 15 and feature an early glimpse of Laika’s upcoming film, “Wildwood.” Ticket sales kick off on June 21. A 2D version of the film will also be available to exhibitors.
“Coraline”
In 2023, Fathom re-released the original version of “Coraline” in the U.S., which netted over $7 million at the box office, a record for the event-based distributor. The film is also screening in this year’s Annecy Classics program, marking a return to the French festival where it won the Cristal for a feature film in 2009.

David Lynch’s New Project Is An Album And Music Video With ‘Twin Peaks: The Return’ Star Chrystabell

Enigmatic filmmaker David Lynch has reteamed with his longtime collaborator Chrystabell for a new album titled Cellophane Memories.
The album will be released on August 2 via Sacred Bones. Lynch has also directed a video for the album’s lead single Sublime Eternal Love, which you can watch above.
Lynch said today that the origins of the project came from a vision he experienced during a nighttime walk through a forest. Chrystabell said the album contains “many doors that are left open to wonder, wander and get turned around in.”
“It’s like mood music,” she said, “not that it creates mood, but more that it reflects your own.”
Cellophane Memories will mark Lynch’s first public project since Twin Peaks: The Return, which wrapped in 2017 on Showtime. The filmmaker teased a new project on Memorial Day, posting a video to X where he said: “Ladies and gentlemen, something is coming along…...

In the words of The Giant, it is happening again… again. It being another collaboration between director David Lynch and singer/actress Chrystabell, who starred as FBI agent Tammy Preston in “Twin Peaks: The Return.”
Over the Memorial Day weekend, Lynch cryptically teased something new for audiences to “see and hear” on June 5. And no, the project is not the rebirth of his planned post-“Twin Peaks” series, “Unrecorded Night,” canceled during the pandemic. It’s an album with Chrystabell, “Cellophane Memories,” out August 2 via Sacred Bone records. And along with the Wednesday, June Five announcement, the label shared a new video for “Sublime Eternal Love,” featuring Chrystabell and directed by Lynch. Watch it below.

The prevailing wisdom on Tim Burton is that he's somewhat lost his way as his career has gone on. Whereas his early filmography is marked by some of the most influential films of the last few decades, his later output has relied a little too heavily on a CGI version of his famously hand-crafted aesthetic and neglected the fundamental elements that make a good story. However, with the news that his upcoming "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" once again embraces practical effects, we might be about to witness a Burton renaissance.
Still, there's no getting around the fact that in most rankings of Tim Burton films, his older work is usually at the top. In terms of critical response, you'll typically find "Ed Wood," his 1994 biopic of the cult filmmaker, in the top spot, followed by more universally beloved classics such as "Edward Scissorhands" or the original "Beetlejuice."

David Lynch took to social media to tease something for June 5.
In a cryptic post shared on X, the micro-blogging platform formerly known as Twitter, the filmmaker surprised his followers with a video announcement.
“Ladies and gentlemen, something is coming along…. for you to see and hear,” Lynch said in the video posted on Memorial Day, May 25. “And it will be coming along on June 5.”

We’ve been here before.
Just writing that automatically makes one sound like a David Lynch character. Or perhaps even more perfectly Lynchian: “It’s happening again.” Yes, it’s true: David Lynch has taken to Twitter/X to announce a new project — er, something — for June 5.
Rumors have abounded ever since his last project, “Twin Peaks: The Return,” wrapped on Showtime in 2017, that another project was in the works. About what, who can say, but the total and complete lack of information certainly has not prevented speculation.
This sure sounds like something of import this time, though.

Love the way he says “June Five” rather than “June Fifth.”
Could this be just the resumption of him giving daily...

Kinology has boarded international sales to “The Big War,” an epic €30-million live action-cgi characters hybrid movie which will mark the directorial comeback of “La Haine” filmmaker Mathieu Kassovitz.
The ambitious feature is adapted from “La Bête Est Morte,” an iconic two-part graphic novel illustrated by Edmond Calvo during War World 2 in Nazi-Occupied France and published after the country was liberated.
Pitched as a “”Paddington” meets ‘Saving Private Ryan,'” “The Big War” is a true passion project for Kassovitz who bought rights to “La Bête est Morte” nearly two decades ago and has now joined forces with well-respected animation producer Aton Soumache, whose credits range from literary adaptations such as the Cesar-winning “The Little Prince” to the global smash-hit “Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir, the Movie.”

Henry Selick's 2009 film "Coraline" was unique in the history of animation in that it was the first stop-motion feature to use 3-D printers to construct its maquettes. For Selick's 1993 hit "The Nightmare Before Christmas," each character's individual face had to be hand-sculpted separately, requiring boxes and boxes of various Jack Skellington heads. 3-D printing for "Coraline" sped up the process and allowed the animators a wider variety of faces for the titular bratty girl and the terrifying adults in her life.
The story of "Coraline" was taken from Neil Gaiman's 2002 children's horror novel, itself heavily cribbing from Clive Barker's 1992 novel "The Thief of Always." In the film, Coraline (Dakota Fanning) moves with her parents to a remote house out in the middle of the woods. Coraline makes no mystery of how much she hates the move, how...

Once upon a time, Netflix was in the business of auteur-driven animation, allowing filmmakers like Guillermo del Toro work on his dream project "Pinocchio," giving Henry Selick his first movie in 13 years after Disney killed his previous project, letting Charlie Kaufman deliver an existential kids' animated movie in "Orion and the Dark," and rescuing "Nimona" after Disney pulled the plug. The streamer has partnered with the likes of Glen Keane, Sergio Pablos, Richard Linklater, Chris Williams, Craig McCracken, and Jorge R. Gutiérrez, but a name that won't join this list anytime soon is legendary filmmaker David Lynch.
Speaking with Deadline, Lynch offered an update on his long-gestating animated movie "Snootworld," which he's been teasing since at least 2009. Lynch co-wrote the script for his animated feature debut with Caroline Thompson ("The Nightmare Before Christmas"), with Lynch penning the second of the film's three acts.

Mathieu Kassovitz, whose last film was the 2011 French action-drama Rebellion, is returning behind the camera thirteen years later. According to Deadline, Kassovitz will be taking on a passion project — a film titled The Big War. The Big War will be an English-language film that aims to showcase a hybrid of live-action and animation. The script will reportedly be written by The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride and Edward Scissorhands screenwriter Caroline Thompson. Kassovitz explains, “This is a project I’ve been working on for twenty years.”
Kassovitz is also known for working in front of the camera as an actor on projects such as Amélie and Munich and the hit TV series Le Bureau Des Legendes. He expounds on his new upcoming film, “It is inspired by cult French graphic novel La Bete Est Morte, which was written during the Second World War. It reimagines that war as enacted by animals.

David Lynch is undoubtedly one of Hollywood’s biggest visionaries and an author who will forever be remembered in history among the names that have changed movies for the better. Best known as the author of Twin Peaks, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and the surreal, experimental movie Eraserhead, Lynch has recently revealed to Deadline that he has an idea for an animated movie Snootworld which he hopes to release in the future despite, as he reveals, the rejection he got from Netflix.
Lynch’s unique vision could be seen in many of his live-action movies or series, and while fans are hoping for a continuation of Twin Peaks, after the enigmatic conclusion of the third season, it seems that Lynch has other priorities at the time and that he desperately wants to make an animated movie.

Despite David Lynch’s feature-length animation project having been rejected by Netflix, the fillmaker is still seeking financing for Snootworld.
David Lynch has been quietly trying to get an animated feature film up and running and although he might not have found the required funding to get the project into production, he isn’t giving up yet.
According to Deadline, the project is titled Snootworld, and despite Lynch being famed as a filmmaker whose tastes veer towards the mature, this one is said to be ‘story that children and adults can appreciate.’
The script for Snootworld was written a couple of decades ago, with Lynch working with Caroline Thompson to create the story.

A couple decades ago, legendary filmmaker David Lynch – who we have to thank for Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, the 1984 version of Dune, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Wild at Heart, Lost Highway, The Straight Story, and Mulholland Drive, among other things – started working with The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, The Addams Family, and Welcome to Marwen writer Caroline Thompson on the screenplay for an animated movie called Snootworld… and even though the Netflix streaming service recently turned down the chance to bring Snootworld into our world, Lynch told Deadline that he’s not giving up on getting the movie made.
Lynch said, “I don’t know when I started thinking about Snoots but I’d do these drawings of Snoots and then a story started to emerge. I got together with Caroline and we worked on a script. Just recently I thought someone might be interested in getting behind this...

David Lynch is claiming Netflix didn’t want to greenlight his “wacky” animated feature, “Snootworld.”
The “Twin Peaks” and “Blue Velvet” auteur told Deadline that his long-awaited animated debut has been two decades in the process. Lynch co-wrote the script with “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “The Addams Family” scribe Caroline Thompson; the feature has a strict three act structure, with Lynch penning act two.
Lynch revealed that Netflix allegedly “rejected” the project most likely since “old fashioned fairytales are considered groaners.” IndieWire has reached out to Netflix.
“I don’t know when I started thinking about Snoots but I’d do these drawings of Snoots and then a story started to emerge,” Lynch told Deadline. “I got together with Caroline and we worked on a script. Just recently I thought someone might be interested in getting behind this so I presented it to Netflix in the last few months but they rejected it.

Deep in the morass of unmade David Lynch films––among the better-known likes Ronnie Rocket, One Saliva Bubble, Antelope Don’t Run No More, and Dune Messiah––is Snootworld, an animated, family-friendly project his ex-wife Peggy Reavey once claimed would be “David’s Harry Potter.” Some two decades since he began writing a script with Caroline Thompson and fifteen-or-so years since the last bit of speculation, Lynch has––in a somewhat uncharacteristic move––announced his hopes to find financing in an interview with Deadline.
This after, Lynch tells us, Netflix rejected a pitch for the feature, which Thompson revealed is the story of Snoots, “tiny creatures who have a ritual transition at aged eight at which time they get tinier and they’re sent away for a year so they are protected.” In yet another of his riffs on Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz, chaos ensues “when...

Exclusive: Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive director David Lynch tells us he is hoping to find backers for his under-the-radar animated project Snootworld, even if Netflix recently “rejected” his “fairytale” pitch.
Screen legend Lynch has said little publicly about Snootworld until now and in recent months he has quietly tried to breathe life into the project by seeking out a financier.
He began working on the script two decades ago with former Tim Burton collaborator Caroline Thompson, writer of projects including The Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands, as well as 1991 hit The Addams Family.

Warner Bros. has debuted a teaser trailer for the highly anticipated sequel from Tim Burton, ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’.
Michael Keaton returns to his iconic role alongside Oscar nominee Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz and two-time Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara as Delia Deetz, with new cast members Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Arthur Conti (House of the Dragon) in his feature film debut, with Emmy nominee Jenna Ortega as Lydia’s daughter, Astrid, and Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe.

The limits of imagination run wild in Sony Pictures’ trailer for Harold and the Purple Crayon, starring Zachary Levi as the keeper of a magical crayon able to bring any drawing to life!
