The first images from the long-awaited sequel to Tim Burton’s 1998 film – starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Jenna Ortega and Catherine O’Hara – are finally here.
The first teaser trailer for the highly anticipated sequel to Beetle juice – titled, brilliantly, Beetle juice, beetle juice – is finally here, 36 years after the original film.
The new film, directed by Tim Burtonsee the returns of Michael Keaton within the titular position, Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz and Catarina O’Hara like his stepmother Delia. Furthermore, becoming a member of the fun is Jenna Ortega like Lydia’s daughter Astrid and Justin Theroux.
The footage begins with Ortega’s character riding her bicycle through Winter River, Connecticut, passing Lydia’s old school, Miss. Shannon and the red bridge where Barbara and Adam Maitland were killed.
The trailer then cuts to a funeral, where a choir of children sing Day-O, another reference to the original film, as we see all three generations of Deetz women together. They return to the dusty attic of the Maitland house, with Astrid discovering the miniature setting and Lydia once again coming face to face with Beetlejuice himself. “The juice is released,” he tells her, as the clip comes to an end.
Talking to Weekly Leisure, Burton confirmed that the film begins with a death – and said that Keaton, “a kind of demonic possession, just came back” to play the bioexorcist. He also blurred the importance of using stop-motion animation and avoiding too many special effects, telling the outlet: “It needed a hand-crafted, back-to-basics quality. It re-energized me because I like making films.”
The film hits theaters on September 6th.
