The juice is fully letting it loose as not only has the official trailer forBeetlejuice Beetlejuiceunburied itself today but a fresh batch of images have also risen from the great beyond. The time has finally come to better understand how the cast of characters fromTim Burton’s supernatural comedy classic,Beetlejuice, are going to reunite all these years later with a few new faces added to the mix. Featuring stills ofMichael Keaton,Catherine O’Hara,Jenna Ortega,Monica Bellucci,Willem Dafoe,Justin Theroux, and, of course,Winona Ryder, the images capture the very heart and soul of the movie that will haunt its way into cinemas on September 6.
The photos invite audiences to step into the afterlife and catch up with some old acquaintances as Keaton’s titular ghoul makes his way back into the land of the living after being summoned by Lydia’s (Ryder)sarcastic teen daughter, Astrid(Ortega). As happy to see his previously betrothed as ever, one photo sees Beetlejuice smirking solo, while another puts his grin beside a very unhappy and rather disgusted looking Lydia. We knew the sequel would introduce us to Beetlejuice’s bride, played by Bellucci, and today gives us a clear look at the pale-as-a-ghost woman in a black dress. She’s giving glam, she’s givingMorticia Addams, and we’re here for it.
Another image welcomes O’Hara back to the fold, where the comedy legend can be seen with bright red hair, dressed to the nines while waiting alongside some poor (and terrifying) lost soul in purgatory. Along with Bellucci’s casting as Beetlejuice’s wife, fans have been eager to learn more about the roles that Theroux and Dafoe will be playing. We’ve known for a while that Dafoe will appear as a deceasedB-list movie actor who has taken up law enforcement in the afterlifeand today’s still of him catches him in interrogation action. Meanwhile, Theroux’s character will beLydia’s new partnerwho can’t quite believe his eyes when he first spots Beetlejuice. Finally, Ortega’s Astrid will never not listen to her mother again after facing down the ghouls, spirits, and demons in her out-of-this-life adventure.
