The wait is almost over for Tim Burton’s long-long-long-awaited sequel, and the official poster today reveals that the upcoming sequel is titled Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!
The title is of course a clever play on the chant that summons the “ghost with the most,” and it seemingly sets the stage for a potential third installment: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
But first, let’s focus on this second installment…
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice haunts theaters on September 6, 2024, and the cast features Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, and Monica Bellucci.
We expect the first trailer is coming very soon. Stay tuned.
No word yet on plot details, but it’s known that Jenna Ortega will be playing the daughter of Lydia Deetz, the character Winona Ryder is of course returning to play.
Justin Theroux recently joined the cast of the sequel as well, with frequent Burton collaborator Danny Elfman coming back to compose the film’s score.
The original classic was directed by Burton in 1988 and has become a cult favorite. It starred Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as ghosts who haunt their old home. When a little girl (Winona Ryder) accidentally unleashes a mischievous ghost (Michael Keaton), the ghosts try to drive the homeowners (Catherine O’Hara and Jeffrey Jones) out of the house.
