Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)
Directed by Tim Burton (Wednesday, Beetlejuice), Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was last year’s best-reviewed fantasy movie on Rotten Tomatoes and the 13th biggest box office hit globally.
After a family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her teenage daughter, Astrid, accidentally opens the portal to the Afterlife. With trouble brewing in both realms, it’s only a matter of time until the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.
Oscar nominee Michael Keaton (Batman, Spotlight) reprises his iconic role as Beetlejuice. Oscar nominee Winona Ryder (Stranger Things, Edward Scissorhands) and Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek, The Last of Us) return as Lydia and Delia Deetz, with Emmy nominee Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) joining the cast as Astrid. Also look out for Oscar nominees Willem Dafoe and Danny DeVito, as well as Emmy winner Justin Theroux (The Leftovers).
