Directed by Tim Burton, the story continues after three generations as the Deetz family returns to the house. With the previous characters reprising their roles as well as new ones being introduced, the story will certainly offer a fresh take on the situation.

After premiering at the Venice Film Festival, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will hit theatres across the globe on September 6, 2024.
Other recent movies have also performed considerably well since the box office is on a summer high. The most recent Marvel release Deadpool & Wolverine opened with a whopping $97 million collection at the box office.
On the other hand, Dune: Part Two made $82.5 million during the opening weekend, possibly kickstarting this continued summer of great releases. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is set to come close to Dune: Part Two’s collection. Only time will tell if the horror comedy movie manages to meet or surpass the amount.
Jenna Ortega sheds light on her experience filming Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
The Wednesday star Jenna Ortega is no stranger to Tim Burton’s direction and filmmaking style. Having worked with the legendary filmmaker twice now, Ortega knows what to expect and what Burton expects from her.
The young actress has swiftly risen to fame, consolidating her position as one of the most talented actors to watch out for. She told Vanity Fair,
Every time I walked onto that set, I wanted to remember it for the rest of my life. You have Willem Dafoe in a trench coat, sliding down in a back pew, just watching everyone. I remember feeling my soul leave my body for a second. And then in between takes, he’s (Keaton) sitting down and drinking his tea.
Some of the most amazing actors have surrounded Ortega for almost all her projects, but Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is truly a magnificent work of art. From Keaton to Ryder, all actors are established giants of the industry who still work hard and put their best foot forward every day.
