Beetlejuice Beetlejuice: Michael Keaton explores the afterlife in new trailer

Day-O! We can’t wait for the new Beetlejuice movie (wonderfully titled Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) here at SciFiNow, so any chance for more snippets into Tim Burton’s latest foray into dark cinema gets us more riled up than a sandworm chasing its latest prey. The new trailer for the movie just does that, giving us a better look into the afterlife plus more Michael Keaton at his absolute best playing the title character.

Watch the new trailer below and check out the brand new poster above…

In Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River after an unexpected family tragedy. 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.

Michael Keaton returns to his iconic role alongside Winona Ryder (Stranger Things) as Lydia Deetz and Catherine O’Hara (Schitts Creeks) as Delia Deetz, with new cast members Justin Theroux (Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi), Monica Bellucci (The Matrix films), Arthur Conti (House of the Dragon) in his feature film debut, with Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) as Lydia’s daughter, Astrid, and Willem Dafoe (Poor Things).

Burton directs from a screenplay by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar (Wednesday), story by Gough & Millar and Seth Grahame-Smith (The LEGO Batman Movie), based on characters created by Michael McDowell & Larry Wilson.

Burton’s creatives behind the scenes includes director of photography Haris Zambarloukos (Meg 2: The Trench); and previous collaborators Mark Scruton (Wednesday), editor Jay Prychidny (Wednesday), costume designer Colleen Atwood (Sleepy Hollow), creature effects and special makeup FX creative supervisor Neal Scanlan (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and Danny Elfman (The Nightmare Before Christmas).
