36 years after the release of Tim Burton’s quirky, darkly comedic fantasy film Beetlejuice, Michael Keaton returns as the mischievous ‘ghost with the most,’ Betelgeuse. Warner Bros. recently dropped the teaser, and appropriately, the entire trailer is soundtracked by a version of Day-O (The Banana Boat Song), a tune familiar to fans of the original film.
The film of course will be directed by Burton and features returning cast members such as Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara alongside Keaton, and new recruit Wednesday‘s Jenna Ortega.
Beetlejuice(1988) sees recently deceased couple Adam and Barbara Maitland, who find themselves trapped haunting their former home. When the house is sold to the eccentric Deetze family, the Maitlands try to scare them away. In desperation, they turn to Beetlejuice, a mischievous and unpredictable ghost, to help them remove the Deetzes from their home. Beetlejuice’s antics quickly spiral out of control, leading to chaos and danger for both the living and the dead.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice revisits the mayhem over three decades later, the official synopsis reads as follows: “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.”
Alongside the aforementioned cast, the film also features appearances from Justin Theroux, Willem Dafoe, and Monica Bellucci.
The sequel has been a long time coming for Keaton, even longer than his most recent return to an iconic character (The Dark Knight), with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice having been in development for decades.
But we don’t have much longer to wait Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will be in cinemas worldwide September 6.
