Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is an American comedy horror film released in 2024, directed and co-produced by Tim Burton. It serves as a sequel to the 1988 original, with Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara returning in their respective roles. New additions to the cast include Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Jenna Ortega, and Willem Dafoe. The story unfolds decades after the first film, focusing on Lydia Deetz, now a mother, who faces challenges maintaining her family following a personal loss, as Betelgeuse reappears to haunt her.
The project began development after the success of Beetlejuice, with initial plans made by The Geffen Film Company. However, progress stalled until 2011 when Warner Bros. brought in Seth Grahame-Smith to develop a concept. That version was later abandoned in late 2019. Revival efforts started again in early 2022, with Burton partnering with Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment for co-production. Casting concluded in early 2023, followed by principal photography from May through November, overseen by cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos. The shoot was interrupted for four months due to the 2023 actors’ strike.
The film's official title was unveiled in February 2024. Post-production included editing by Jay Prychidny and a score composed by longtime Burton collaborator Danny Elfman. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on August 28, 2024, before its theatrical release in the United States and Canada on September 6. Critics responded positively, and the film earned $452 million globally, having been produced with a budget ranging from $99 million to $100 million.
