With six weeks to go until Beetlejuice Beetlejuice hits theaters, Warner Bros. has unveiled a new trailer for Tim Burton’s long-awaited sequel film. Compared to the first trailer, today’s teaser offers much more in the way of plot details.
In Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, at least going off the trailer (and the provided plot synopsis), Jenna Ortega plays Astrid, the angsty teenage daughter of Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder). She doesn’t seem to care for her mother too much, nor does she believe in ghosts — that is, until she stumbles upon the model of Winter River and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. Lydia then calls on an old friend, Mr. Juice himself (Michael Keaton), to save her daughter.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is set to open in theaters on September 6th, 2024. The film’s cast also includes Catherine O’Hara as Delia Deetz, Monica Belluci as Beetlejuice’s wife, and Willem Dafoe as the ghost detective Wolf Jackson.
A sequel to Beetlejuice has been in the works since the early ’90s, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice ended up in development hell for a large period of time. Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment joined Warner Bros. in producing the sequel in 2022, and the project was filmed and completed in 2023.
Along with the trailer, Warner Bros. has revealed a new poster for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which channels the original film’s one.
