Michael McDowell and Larry Wilson formed a partnership (Pecos Productions) with entertainment attorney Michael Bender, and Beetlejuice was their first original project.
Michael McEachern McDowell (June 1, 1950 – December 27, 1999) who was an American novelist and screenwriter, was the creator of Betelgeuse and author of the original script for the film Beetlejuice (1988) that was quite different than final film.
Nascent discoveries. Aboriginal groups in South Australia have shared oral tales of the variable brightness of Betelgeuse for at least 1,000 years. The variation in Betelgeuse's brightness was described in 1836 by Sir John Herschel in Outlines of Astronomy.
Though certainly lauded as a pizzeria, owner Chris Cusack has been intent on Betelgeuse Betelgeuse being a cocktail bar first. As such, its mixed drinks are something to experience.
The studio was worried about the movie's success, especially because of its confusing title, as "Beetlejuice" is a play on Betelgeuse, the real spelling of the name of the bio-exorcist and the name of a star constellation. According to IndieWire, Warner Bros. begged Burton to change the name.
Timeline of Betelgeuse - Birth, Life, and Supernova
Is Beetlejuice inspired by Betelgeuse?
3. The character's true name is Betelgeuse, which is based on a star that is in the same constellation as Orion. 4. Burton's first choice for the titular character was Sammy Davis Jr.
Today, Betelgeuse is one of the largest known stars, measuring more than 700 million miles (1.2 billion kilometers) in diameter. If Betelgeuse were to replace the sun at the center of the solar system, it would reach all the way to Jupiter. On the other hand, the star is no longer anywhere near as hot as it used to be.
Betelgeuse will, eventually, go supernova. However, scientists expect this isn't likely to happen for about another 100,000 years, at which point Betelgeuse will become either a neutron star or black hole.
We know that Beetlejuice used to work as the assistant to the caseworker Juno, which means he killed himself, since all undead civil servants committed suicide. Beetlejuice was Bozman, and he killed himself after his building was completed in 1835.
Either way, it seems likely that Betelgeuse will be the Milky Way galaxy's next supernova but this wouldn't happen anytime soon. It could even be another 100,000 years before Betelgeuse's light is finally extinguished.
Betelgeuse is an enormous star. If we were to place it at the center of our solar system, it would extend all the way to Jupiter. The star's size, combined with its position in our galaxy, the Milky Way, allows astronomers to study Betelgeuse in better detail than most stars.
Beetlejuice's appearance in the original script had him as a tall, black, winged demon that could transform into the appearance of a small Middle-Eastern man.
While observed since antiquity, the name Betelgeuse is a French rendering of an Arabic name, which has been recorded as bit al-jauza or yad al-jauza. While it's exact translation is disputed, al-jauza has been interpreted as “the central one” or even “the giant,” referring to Orion (as well as Gemini).
Although some hype up Betelgeuse's looming doom, its coming explosion, called a supernova, might not happen for at least tens of thousands of years, if not more like some 100,000.
Betelgeuse is undoubtedly a red giant star that has already burned through its primary fuel hydrogen and is now fusing helium in its core into heavier elements. The point at which a star runs out of hydrogen in its lifetime is unmissable.
While Betelgeuse's supernova is not expected to cause direct harm to life on Earth, it could potentially have some atmospheric effects. The explosion would release a burst of ultraviolet radiation, which could deplete the ozone layer temporarily.
"With Beetlejuice now on the loose in Los Angles, California where Lydia's husband 'Alex Loughty' (Robert Downey Jr.) works, the Loughty Family must come together to defeat the ghost with the most once again..."
She was fifteen, she turned sixteen on the movie. She was a prodigy. From a very young age, she was an old soul. She really got the words and the imagery.
Michael Keaton didn't originally want to reprise his role as the mischievous ghost in a follow-up to the 1988 supernatural comedy. Tim Burton has revealed Michael Keaton had “no burning desire” to return as the titular character for a Beetlejuice sequel.
Betelgeuse is about 15 to 20 times more massive than the Sun, and stars of this mass are expected to end their lives in a powerful explosion known as a supernova. Betelgeuse's red colour shows it is a red supergiant, meaning it's already approaching the end of its life. But that end may still be a million years away.
While Betelgeuse will undergo a supernova, it is unlikely to result in the formation of a black hole. The estimated mass of Betelgeuse falls below the threshold necessary for a black hole to form. Instead, it is anticipated that Betelgeuse will leave behind a dense, highly compact object known as a neutron star.
