It’s Showtime, J1fans!! What a time to be alive when we get a double dose of Michael Keaton returning to his most iconic characters in a year’s time. Last June, he made his final outing as Batman. This September, he is back as the “Ghost with the Most” in the long-awaited sequel the 1988 dark comedy film directed by Tim Burton.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice sees Keaton return to the titular role along with Oscar nominee Winona Ryder (Stranger Things, Little Women) as Lydia Deetz and two-time Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt$ Creek, The Nightmare Before Christmas) as Delia Deetz, with new cast members Justin Theroux (Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi, The Leftovers), Monica Bellucci (Spectre, The Matrix films), Arthur Conti (House of the Dragon) in his feature film debut, with Emmy nominee Jenna Ortega (Wednesday, Scream VI) as Lydia’s daughter, Astrid, and Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (Poor Things, At Eternity’s Gate).
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 teenage 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 three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.
Tim Burton returns to the helm as director working of a script written by Netflix’s “Wednesday” creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar with Danny Elfman returning as composer.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice hits theaters September 6.
