Another Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice trailer has arrived and this time, star Jenna Ortega takes centre stage!
The clip opens with Jenna's character, Astrid Deetz, at school receiving a call from her mum, Lydia Deetz, but the name that pops up on her phone is "Alleged Mom" - yep, clearly a solid relationship there!
She hangs up on her only to walk into class and find herself the butt of a joke, with a bunch of girls laughing at her.
Later in the clip, Astrid says "ghosts aren't real, only gullible people believe that kind of crap."
But soon we see her taken hostage by ghosts and Lydia turns to - you guessed it - Beetlejuice, to help save her. Watch below:
Besides the new Beetlejuice trailer, Warner Bros. as also shared two epic photos from the new film too. The first shows Michael Keaton reprising his iconic role in a striped black and white suit, complete with his signature wild hair and blackened eyes.
Cast Details
Winona Ryder is reprising her role as Lydia Deetz and Catherine O’Hara will once again portray Delia Deetz, while Jenna Ortega stars as Lydia’s daughter and Delia's granddaughter, Astrid Deetz.
This is Jenna’s second time working with Tim as he was behind the hit Wednesday series on Netflix. (A second season of that is on the way but we don’t have a release date just yet!)
Justin Theroux is playing Rory – though it’s not clear who Rory is exactly! Willem Dafoe, Monica Belluci and Arthur Conti are also part of the film.
And of course Michael Keaton is back as Beetlejuice himself! Check out some of the character posters below:

What will Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice be about?
According to production notes from Warner Bros., we’re in for a wild ride:
“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.”
In case you missed it, the original Beetlejuice film, a horror comedy classic, came out in 1988 and also starred Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis and Catherine O’Hara. It follows the story of a dead couple who are trying to scare away a family that has moved into their old home so they seek out an exorcist named… you guessed it, Beetlejuice!
When will Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice be released?
The movie will be out on September 5, 2024 in Australia (and September 6 elsewhere).
