HOLLYWOOD, USA – Ageing British soul singer Rod Stewart has been signed up to star in the highly anticipated sequel to the cult 80s spoof horror movie, Beetlejuice.

The bizarre casting choice was made by none other than the legendary Hollywood producer Harvey Winklesteiner. He is known for his penchant for outlandish actors and eccentric characters.
The deal was struck aboard a private yacht in Monaco during this year’s Grand Prix. Amidst the glitz, glamour, and the roar of Formula 1 engines. Stewart, dressed in a bewildering ensemble of a black and white striped jacket and shorts. Paired with a black and white polka-dotted shirt, caught Winklesteiner’s eye. It was a fashion statement so bold and bewildering that it immediately sparked the idea of resurrecting Beetlejuice, with Rod Stewart in a starring role.
“Rod’s outfit was nothing short of a sartorial séance,” Winklesteiner reportedly gushed to a bemused gathering of A-listers. “It was as if he had summoned the spirit of Beetlejuice himself, right there on the yacht. I knew at that moment, he was the one.”
Dishevelled appearance
The original Beetlejuice, starring Michael Keaton, became a cult classic with its quirky blend of horror and comedy. Whether Rod Stewart’s rendition will include any of his soulful hits remains shrouded in mystery. Fans and critics alike are left to speculate if classics like “You wear it well” or “I was only joking” will make an appearance in the spooky sequel.
As Hollywood gears up for what promises to be a surreal cinematic experience. One thing is certain: if the production is anything like the meeting that inspired it, audiences are in for a wild ride.
Whether Rod Stewart can channel his inner ghost with the most. If this casting decision will haunt Winklesteiner remains to be seen. But hey, if anyone can pull off the role of a mischievous poltergeist with a swathe of uncontrollable hair, it’s Rod Stewart.
