In the chilling new trailer for “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” the iconic bio-exorcist returns to torment the Deetz family. Set to an eerie rendition of “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)”, the trailer opens with the funeral of Charles Deetz, Lydia’s father from the original film. As Lydia’s teenage daughter, Astrid, explores the attic, she stumbles upon a model town and unwittingly unlocks the portal to the Afterlife. With the utterance of Beetlejuice’s name three times, the mischievous spirit materializes, ready to cause chaos and terrorize the Deetz family.
Michael Keaton reprises his iconic role as Beetlejuice, bringing his signature blend of humor and wickedness to the screen. Winona Ryder returns as Lydia Deetz, now an adult navigating the challenges of parenting and the return of her mischievous tormentor. Catherine O’Hara also returns as Lydia’s stepmother, Delia Deetz, providing a comedic foil to the supernatural antics.
Joining the original cast are a host of talented newcomers, including Jenna Ortega as Astrid, Justin Theroux as an exorcist, Monica Bellucci as an Italian ghost, Arthur Conti as a young Beetlejuice enthusiast, and Willem Dafoe as a mysterious character. Tim Burton, the visionary director behind the original film, helms “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” once again, promising a visually stunning and darkly humorous sequel.
“The living. The dead. Can they coexist?” Lydia Deetz asks in the trailer, setting the stage for a collision between the mortal and supernatural realms. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is poised to unleash a new wave of spooky thrills and mischievous laughter when it hits theaters on September 6, 2024.
