It's hard to imagine anyone besides the great Michael Keaton in the titular role, but Burton had his heart set on this unexpected performer.

The Big Picture Tim Burton is a renowned director famous for his eccentricities and vividly gothic aesthetics in his films. His unique vision gives his projects overarching tones that feel distinctly him, as his filmography is filled with movies that combine gothic horror with striking visuals. However, not all of his choices for his movies end up making the final cut.

Though he is ultimately foiled in his plan, the boisterous Beetlejuice has become a memorable image in pop culture. His stringy green hair and striped suit have even made their way to Broadway, with a musical that premiered in 2018. Another memorable part of the film is the summoning ritual in order to call forth Beetlejuice, which involves saying his name three times in a row. This motif recurs throughout the movie and has left a lasting legacy on pop culture.Sammy Davis Jr.

In addition to his solo outings, he was also a prominent member of the Rat Pack, a group of A-list entertainers that were prominent in the 1950s. The group included legends like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, with members often joining one another in collaborations. The most notable of which was the original Ocean's 11, which saw Davis Jr. alongside Sinatra, Martin, and Peter Lawford.

The collaboration between Keaton and Burton turned out to be a match made in the Netherworld, as their ideas lined up effectively. After Burton shared that the character "existed in all time and all spaces," Keaton got an idea to work with the wardrobe department to create an eccentric outfit with pieces from different eras all paired together.
