SAEDNEWS: Jenna Ortega has worked with Tim Burton on 'Wednesday' and 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice'
According to SAEDNEWS, If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to step into the world of Tim Burton, actress Jenna Ortega recently gave fans a fascinating glimpse into the director’s eerily enchanting home. Known for his distinctive gothic aesthetic and bizarre charm, Burton’s residence seems like a scene straight out of one of his films—complete with a jar of eyeballs!
In a captivating interview with Vanity Fair, Jenna, who has collaborated with Burton on the hit Netflix series Wednesday and the upcoming sequel to the cult classic Beetlejuice, painted a vivid picture of her experiences in the filmmaker's uniquely spooky abode. “You walk in and it’s the huge throne from Alice in Wonderland,” she shared, highlighting just how whimsical and otherworldly the space is. And yes, the bathroom really does feature a jar of eyeballs—an unmistakable nod to Burton's love for the macabre!
But it doesn’t stop there. Jenna also revealed that Tim Burton has an endearing quirk of carrying tiny statues, which she affectionately refers to as “his little creatures,” in his pockets. It's these small details that add to the mystique surrounding the iconic director.
As anticipation builds for the release of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice this September, Jenna is busy preparing for the spotlight once again. In addition to her work on the sequel, filming for the second season of Wednesday began in May, with a release expected in October 2025.
However, Ortega's journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Previously, she faced criticism after expressing her frustrations with certain elements of Wednesday during an appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast. “I don’t think I’ve ever had to put my foot down more on a set in a way that I had to on Wednesday,” she remarked, referencing her struggle with the character development, particularly in relation to a love triangle that she felt didn’t align with her character’s essence.
Now, reflecting on those comments, Jenna has shared that she “probably could have used my words better in describing all of that.” It’s a reminder that even in the creative world, communication plays a vital role, and growth often comes from addressing one’s criticisms constructively.
As we look forward to the thrilling projects that Jenna Ortega and Tim Burton have in store for us, it’s clear that both are committed to creating memorable and thought-provoking entertainment that pushes the boundaries of storytelling.
