Beetlejuice 2 will be released in France on September 4, 2024 and Warner Bros. reveals new insights into one of the biggest expectations of 2024. The fan service is here.
“Jump in line, rock your body to the beat, OK, I believe you!” » Who doesn’t know this song that Tim Burton used very well for his masterpiece? Certainly everyone who has not seen it yet and we strongly recommend that you do so before the official release of Beetlejuice 2. Yes, after more than 10 years, one of Hollywood’s most atypical directors will finally return to his cult film with a sequel featuring a large part of the original cast. New announcements have just dropped.
An obvious title for Beetlejuice 2
It is no longer just an idea scribbled on the corner of a table or a project currently being validated. Tim Burton has finished filming Beetlejuice 2 and there’s no looking back. And it’s very risky because the cult film is already perfect, even without a sequel. After a long pregnancy, Warner explained this “The wait is almost over” with a new poster revealing two pieces of information. The American release date is September 6, 2024, two days after it airs here. Then this image is full of symbols for fans and hides a double reference.
We see the bio-exorcist’s hands holding a ticket with sequential numbers. These numbers are used to call deceased people who are waiting in a waiting room before entering the world of the dead. And it also corresponds to the ending of Beetlejuice. This iconic location will be present, but Tim Burton had already hinted at it in a previous photo on Instagram. Final information, this sequel now has an official title and is pretty well thought out: Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. A shortened formula for summoning the Bio-Exorcist.
The return of the original cast (or almost) with new additions
The director of Edwards Scissorhands, two Batman films, Big Fish and Sleepy Hollow, has been following the production closely since his return behind the camera. On the other hand, everyone who helped write the script for the original was replaced. Two of them died and the third has nothing to do with this next adventure. To write the story for Beetlejuice 2, Burton turned to Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the showrunners of the Netflix series Wednesday. And there’s another piece from the TV show: Jenna Ortega.
The young actress, who is not lacking in talent, will play Astrid Deetz, the daughter of Lydia Deetz, played by Winona Ryder, who reprises her role. Catherine O’Hara (Mom, I missed the plane!) will once again play the misunderstood artist Delia Deetz and Michael Keaton will return as a bio-exorcist. Tim Burton apparently wants to give his iconic character another dynamic and has made sure to offer him a woman played by Monica Bellucci. The filmmaker’s new wife. All these little people will share the bill with Gianni Calchetti, Brun Gorman and Willem Dafoe.
As far as the pitch is concerned, it is visibly based on the original. “Beetlejuice is recruited to help haunt a house and meets Lydia’s daughter.”. According to Haris Zambarloukos, the sequel’s cinematographer, the sequel focuses on human connections and how a family has stayed together in one world throughout “the craziest thing ever”.
