Although Jenna Ortega has always been cast as the star of several of Tim Burton's latest projects such as Wednesday and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, that doesn't mean she has succeeded in getting all the roles she auditioned for with the famous director.
In an interview with Beetlejuice co-star Michael Keaton, Jenna Ortega recalled her experience when she failed to get a role in the 2019 live-action Dumbo film. " I remember auditioning for Dumbo. I actually auditioned for Dumbo. I was like 14, and it was so exciting.
I couldn't believe Tim Burton was making another movie because it had been so long since he'd done anything new. I was like, 'Wow, this is an amazing opportunity,'" Jenna Ortega said, as quoted by MovieWeb on Monday September 16, 2024. " At that point, I was pretty used to rejection. As they say to actors, don't get too down about it.
But I remember after the Dumbo audition, I was really down for weeks, and I was like, 'What if I never get the chance to work with him again?' " she continued. Jenna Ortega now holds the status as one of the brightest young actresses in modern cinema.
She is one of the stars in Tim Burton's return to the Hollywood spotlight with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice , a sequel to the 1989 classic horror comedy that is already showing in cinemas nationwide. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice focuses on three generations of the Deetz family who must return to Winter River after a tragedy befalls them.
Lydia Deetz's (Winona Ryder) daughter, Astrid (Jenna Ortega), accidentally finds a model of the mysterious city in the attic of their house. His discovery opens a portal to the afterlife that triggers various problems both in the real world and in the other world.
Beetlejuice's name is mentioned three times and makes the mischievous ghost return to the world to cause even more chaos. The September 2002-born actress will also make a comeback as Wednesday Addams in the second season of Wednesday . Other upcoming projects include Death of a Unicorn and Klara and the Sun.
Jenna Ortega's name began to be known when she appeared in the horror film Insidious: Chapter 2. Her role in the film was an early sign that she had great potential in this genre. Her involvement in several famous horror films recently has further strengthened her position as one of the candidates to become a scream queen in the modern film era.
