The second theft was reported on July 17, police said. Movie officials told police that the perpetrators stole a 150-pound abstract art statue from the vicinity of the cemetery. The theft is believed to have occurred sometime between 5 p.m. on July 13 and 11 a.m. on July 17. State police released a photo of the statue, which resembles a pair of giant, green monster hands.
"Beetlejuice 2" is an upcoming sequel to the 1988 film "Beetlejuice," starring Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, directed by Tim Burton. Shooting in Vermont started this summer in East Corinth, the same town where scenes for the original movie were shot in the '80s.
