New Trailer For BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE - "Be Warned... It's Intense"
Warner Bros. has unleashed a full trailer for Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and this is going to be a great and fun flick!
Michael Keaton returns to the role of Beetlejuice, and it looks like he perfectly slipped back into the role as if not a lot of time has passed. He’s going to deliver that fantastic Beetlejuice performance we were all hoping for!
The trailer offers a ton of new footage as well as more insight into the story that Burton set out to tell. One of the main things that the story is looking to explore is is the living and the dead can co-exist.
I also love that pretty much all of the VFX was done practically and that even includes stop-motion sand worms!
In the film, “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.”
The family tragedy is confirmed to be the death of Charles Deetz, and you can all thank Lydia’s daughter for bringing Beetlejuice back.
Michael Keaton is joined by Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz, Catherine O’Haraas Delia Deetz, with new cast members Justin Theroux (The Leftovers), Monica Bellucci (Spectre, The Matrix films), Arthur Conti (House of the Dragon), Jenna Ortega (Wednesday, Scream VI) as Lydia’s daughter, Astrid, and Willem Dafoe as a B-movie action star who died and became a police officer in the Afterlife.
Burton explained what interested him in telling this story saying: "I so identified with the Lydia character, but then you get to all these years later, and you take your own journey, going from cool teenager to lame adult, back and forth again. That made it emotional, gave it a foundation. So that was the thing that really truly got me into it."
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (Wednesday and Smallville) wrote the script along with an earlier draft by Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg. Katzenberg and Grahame-Smith are also producing. Danny Elfman is returning to compose the score.
Beetlejuice Beetljuice is set to be released in theaters on September 6, 2024.
