Studio Warner Bros. announced the release date of the sequel to the cult film “Beetlejuice” directed by Tim Burton. The premiere of the tape will take place on May 6, 2024 – 36 years after the release of the original in theaters. Plot information has yet to be revealed. However, it is known that Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and Jenna Ortega will star in the film.
Keaton will return as Beetlejuice, while Winona Ryder will play the grown-up Lydia Dietz from the first film. Ortega will appear as her daughter. Also in the list of actors is Justin Theroux. Who exactly he will play, is not reported. Katherine O’Hara has also signed on to reprise her role as Delia Dietz. The project is being written by Wednesday writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.
The plot of the first part is built around the married couple Adam and Barbara Maitland. The couple died in a car accident. After death, they live peacefully in their home. However, the new owners of the mansion interfere with the family idyll. It was purchased by businessman Charles Dietz. The entrepreneur moves into a new home with his wife Delia and daughter Lydia. Adam and Barbara don’t like the new owners, causing them to turn to Beetlejuice. He promises to get rid of the Dietzes on the condition of his release. To do this, you need to say the name of Beetlejuice three times. The film proved to be a hit and grossed approximately $75 million at the box office. A sequel has been planned since the 1990s. Burton reportedly wanted to move its action to Hawaii.
Let’s remind, Tim Burton’s series “Wednesday” became one of the most successful novelties of the last year. Its premiere took place on November 23. The project tells about the iconic Addams family. In the center of the plot is the story of the daughter of Gomez and Morticia, who is forced to settle into a new school. The series was able to collect more than 341.2 million views in the first week. It later became the most watched series of 2022.
