Beetlejuice 2: Did you notice those three notes on the poster from Tim Burton’s first movie?

36 years after the horror-comedy Beetlejuice, The Bio-Exorcist returns to cinemas! The poster for the Tim Burton film has just been released, and it includes references to the original feature film.

First, the title. Instead of Beetlejuice 2, the movie is now called “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” A wink that only viewers of the first episode will understand: to summon a ghost, you have to say its name 3 times.

And Warner’s X Report dares to say it for the third time… “You dare say it again?”

Then, the tagline “The wait is almost over” and a numbered bar indicating the feature film’s release date that Beetlejuice is holding is a direct reference to the end of the 1988 film.

Long wait 36 ​​years…

Beetlejuice finds himself in the waiting room of the afterlife and gets a ticket with his passage number… a wait that will apparently last 36 years and is set to end on September 6, 2024 (US release date).

Final Wink: A cockroach, of course. Since Beetlejuice means “cockroach juice”. Bio-exorcist also uses this insect to make Lydia guess her name in the first feature film.

The feature film, scheduled to open in French cinemas on September 11, 2024, sees the return of the characters from the first film: Michael Keaton in the lead role, Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara.

The latter will be flanked by Jenna Ortega – Burton’s new muse from Wednesday’s series – who will play Lydia’s (Winona Ryder) daughter, Willem Dafoe as a cop on the outside, Monica Bellucci, who plays Beetlejuice’s wife. , and Justin Theroux in the role was still kept under wraps.

We don’t know exactly what the feature film will be about yet, but the first photos taken of Jenna Ortega show the actress wearing a wedding dress. Therefore, it will be a matter of marriage.

After many years of planning, BeetlejuiceBeetlejuice It should be the same as the first movie. Michael Keaton told the magazine last April Empire that this sequel will be very close to the original and will include, like the first opus, a lot of practical effects (the physical techniques used in filming) and very few digital effects.

“We agreed that the sequel should be as close as possible to the first film. Inventing things, doing things, improvising… but above all, doing everything for real, I mean literally, building things by hand and playing in front of something.

This is really awesome. This is the shoot that has given me the most pleasure in many, many years. “

So Beetlejuice fans should be excited.
