I'm So Obsessed With The Title And Debut Poster For The "Beetlejuice" Sequel
Beetlejuice is about to make his long-awaited return some 30 years later in a sequel film, and the new movie's title and first poster have been released.
The 1988 Tim Burton comedy starred Michael Keaton as the aforementioned eccentric ghost called upon to help get rid of a living family that moved into a haunted home after the previous dwellers died.
Catherine O'Hara as Delia Deetz and Jeffrey Jones as Charles Deetz played the living family with Winona Ryder as their daughter, Lydia Deetz.
Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis played the deceased couple who still haunt the home, Adam and Barbara Maitland.
Michael, Winona, and Catherine O'Hara are all returning for the new film.
And Jenna Ortega has been cast in a starring role as a new character, Astrid Deetz.
The likes of Justin Theroux, Willem Dafoe, and Monica Bellucci are all starring in the new film, too.
On Feb. 1, Warner Bros. Pictures released new details about the movie, including the film's title and a first poster. The poster notably reveals that the sequel is titled Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The poster included the tagline, "The wait is almost over."
Warner Bros. Pictures also tweeted out the poster, and captioned it, "Dare you to say it again." This is likely a reference to the Maitlands summing Beetlejuice in the original film by saying his name three times.

Tim Burton is also back as the film's director, and the sequel was written by Alfred Gough and Miles Miller (based on Seth Grahame-Smith's story). Notably, Alfred and Miles created the hit Netflix series Wednesday, which stars Jenna Ortega and counts Tim Burton as an executive producer.
