“The juice is loose!” He’s back!! Warner Bros has unveiled the first teaser trailer for the legacy sequel titled Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, reuniting mastermind filmmaker Tim Burton with actor Michael Keaton for a long-awaited follow-up 36 (!!) years later. Long enough? Did anyone see the original in theaters? The first Beetlejuice movie opened in 1988 (right before Burton’s Batman in 1989) and ended up as a modest success and cult favorite for many fans. The sequel continues the story with the very same family. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. Michael Keaton returns as Betelgeuse again, along with Winona Ryder back as Lydia Deetz, plus a cast including Jenna Ortega as Astrid, Catherine O’Hara, Monica Bellucci, Justin Theroux, Arthur Conti, Burn Gorman, and Filipe Cates; plus Willem Dafoe as a ghost detective who, in his life, was a B movie action star. Barely 60 seconds of footage in this! I’ll wait to see more – for now this is an amusing re-introduction.

Here’s the first teaser trailer for Tim Burton’s sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, direct from YouTube:

Beetlejuice is back! After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teen daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it’s only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice’s name 3 times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, also known as Beetlejuice 2, is once again directed by visionary American filmmaker Tim Burton, director of many movies including Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Mars Attacks, Sleepy Hollow, Big Fish, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd, Alice in Wonderland, Dark Shadows, Frankenweenie, Big Eyes, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, and Dumbo previously, plus the “Wednesday” series most recently. The screenplay is written by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar. From a story by Gough & Millar and Seth Grahame-Smith. It’s produced by Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Tim Burton, Tommy Harper, Marc Toberoff, David Geffen. Warner Bros debuts Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice sequel in theaters worldwide starting on September 6th, 2024 later this year. First impression? Excited?
