Catherine O’Hara has many, many iconic roles to her credit. Many of us know her as the posh Moira Rose from Schitt's Creek. Now, the actress is promoting her recent film Beetlejuice 2 and she has made a comparison between both the projects, pointing out a huge similarity.
Beetlejuice 2 's Schitt's Creek connection
For the unversed, in the new Beetlejuice movie opening scene, there is an art gallery and in one particular art installation, the actress dons a white outfit and poses with her arms flapping, and crows are seen flying behind her. This is very similar to her character Moira Rose’s film The Crows Have Eyes from her comedy series Schitt’s Creek.
While speaking with Entertainment Weekly, the actress shared that initially, another bird species was considered for the scene, but it was later decided that crows would be part of it. Director Tim Burton then asked her if she would like to flap her arms, which she agreed to do. The actress revealed that the arm-flapping scene indeed made the final cut.
Catherine also added that she wondered whether Burton had seen the show. However, she didn’t think he had, and she didn’t want to assume, as it felt “ego-based” to her, so she chose not to mention it. Taolking about the coincidence, she said, “Isn't it weird?! It's weird that I am flapping my arms, and there are crows."
