As we find ourselves in March, excitement is building for the imminent release of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice 2. With the sequel set to hit theaters on September 6, fans are eagerly anticipating the return of Michael Keaton as the irreverent and mischievous ghost, Beetlejuice.
Recent revelations about the film have only heightened the enthusiasm surrounding the project. Keaton’s confirmation that Beetlejuice 2 will prioritize practical effects over CGI has reassured fans that the sequel will maintain the same handcrafted charm that made the original a beloved classic. This commitment to tangible, on-set effects is a testament to Keaton and Burton’s dedication to preserving the unique aesthetic of the Beetlejuice universe.
One of the most tantalizing tidbits Keaton shared about the upcoming film is the inclusion of a scene featuring an entire room of ghosts with shrunken heads. This clever callback to the original movie’s ending, where Beetlejuice himself falls victim to the Witch Doctor’s head-shrinking punishment, promises to deliver both laughs and an expanded exploration of the franchise’s afterlife world.
As September 6 draws closer, fans are also excited to see the return of Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara, reprising their roles as Lydia Deetz and Delia Deetz, respectively. The addition of Jenna Ortega as Lydia’s daughter, Astrid, adds an extra layer of intrigue to the already impressive cast.
With Beetlejuice 2 just on the horizon, moviegoers are counting down the days until they can reunite with the ghost with the most and embark on another spooky, hilarious adventure in the Neitherworld. As anticipation reaches a fever pitch, it’s clear that Tim Burton’s sequel is poised to be one of the most talked-about films of the year, promising to deliver a nostalgic yet fresh take on a beloved classic.
