After a “bad streak” due to films such as “Dumbo”, “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children”, among others, Tim Burton has once again placed himself at the top of the Hollywood scene thanks to one film in particular: “ “Beetlejuice 2”.
The sequel to the comedy-horror classic, which solidified Burton’s career and catapulted a then-young Winona Ryder, has created great excitement since its announcement in previous years.
However, it was in recent hours that the true excitement of seeing the famous ghost again, played by Michael Keaton, came to life due to the revelation of the first poster of the film and its release date.
Beetlejuice is back
It was Tim Burton himself who shared the first poster of his new film, the first in more than 5 years after the lukewarm reception of “Dumbo” in 2019. In the aforementioned image, you can see a pair of hands, deteriorated and rotting, holding a piece of paper that has a series of numbers printed on it. These numbers, “09,06,24”, would be the release date of the film: September 6, 2024.
On the poster you can also read the legend: “The wait is almost over”, in addition to the official title of the film “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”. Although the official synopsis of the film has not yet been revealed, based on the cast confirmed so far, it is believed that the film would become a direct sequel to the original 1988 film.
In addition to the return of Oscar nominee Michael Keaton to one of the most iconic roles of his career, Winona Ryder will also return in the role of Lydia Deetz. Likewise, and in the role of Lydia’s daughter, Jenna Ortega will return to work under Burton after the success achieved in the Netflix series “Wednesday”.
Monica Bellucci, current partner of Tim Burton, will also be added to the above as Beetlejuice’s wife, Willem Dafoe in an unknown role as well as Justin Theroux in an also unknown role.
Upon its release in 1988, “Beetlejuice” became an instant classic in the filmography of Burton himself as well as the horror genre itself. Thanks to its original proposal, its innovative image as well as the talented cast, the film continues to be a reference for a large number of current films.
Due to the above, it is no secret that “Beetlejuice 2” has become one of the most anticipated films by people this year. And according to the specialized site “Fandango”, Burton’s new film, along with Deadpool 3 and Joker 2, are the films that have generated the greatest expectation among fans.
“Beetlejuice 2” will be released on September 6, 2024, a few weeks before the traditional Halloween season.
