Looks like someone said “Beetlejuice” a few too many times over in Italy. 

Tim Burton’s highly anticipated Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will make its world premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival this August, setting the stage for alums Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara to reunite at one of the flashiest gatherings in entertainment. The original trio will be joined by newcomers Jenna Ortega, Monica Bellucci, Willem Dafoe and Justin Theroux in a movie that features “a surprising swing of creative imagination and driving hallucinatory rhythm,” according to festival artistic director Alberto Barbera.

Meanwhile, a new Zac Efron costar has him recalling another from his past. The Family Affair actor told Entertainment Weekly that Joey King’s physical comedy while filming the Netflix romcom reminded him of Matthew Perry. Or as Efron said of one stunt in particular, “That was one of the most brilliant comedy bits I’ve seen in a long time. Matthew Perry-esque. It was genius.” 

Of course, Efron has firsthand knowledge of Perry’s genius, having worked with the late Friends legend in 2009’s 17 Again.

Over on the timeline, the comedic timing is pitch-perfect per usual. Today’s funniest tweets include those about a burning Inside Out pitch, the spilt drink worth crying over and the baseball player who should probably stick to the mound.
