The first trailer for the comedy horror film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is out
The fussy but charming “wrestler” of people returns to the audience.
Warner Bros. movie studio has released the trailer for the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice movie, confirming that Geoffrey Jones' character Charles Dietz does, indeed, die at the beginning of the narrative. Fans began actively discussing on social media who was buried in the sequel to the famous comedy horror flick when they saw in the previously released teaser that Delia Deetz (Catherine O'Hara), Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) and Astrid Deetz (Jenna Ortega) were standing at the grave to a children's choir humming “Day-O” (Banana Boat Song). Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, director Tim Burton dodged a direct question about the identity of the deceased. “We'll see,” he noted with an enigmatic smile.
In the trailer, Astrid, Lydia's teenage daughter, exclaims: “I can't believe Grandpa's dead.” In favor of Jones' non-return to the set is also the fact that the actor disappeared from the sight of the general public and film producers in 2002, when he got into trouble with the law. In the first movie, Charles Dietz, a former real estate agent, moves with his family - wife Delia and daughter Lydia from New York to a house on Winter River, Connecticut. The previous owners of the property, the Maitlands (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis), are killed in a car accident.

In the second movie, Delia and Lydia return with Astrid to the mysterious house after Charles' sudden death. When Astrid discovers a miniature model of the city in the attic and a portal to the afterlife accidentally opens, Michael Keaton's fussy “bio-exorcist” from Beetlejuice steps in. In a classic dialog between parent and naughty child, Lydia asks Astrid to never say Beetlejuice's name, to which the girl mockingly says the forbidden name not even once, but as many as three times.
In the trailer you can also see for the first time Willem Defoe's character Wolf Jackson - an actor constantly looking for a living, who after his death becomes a policeman in the afterlife. Delores (Monique Bellucci), Beetlejuice's zombified but charming wife, also appears in the trailer, along with familiar creatures such as a sandworm moving in slow motion. “Alive, dead. Can they coexist? That's what we have to find the answer to,” Lydia says in the video.
The movie “Beetlejuice” Tim Burton directed from a script by Michael McDowell and Warren Skaaren. The plot revolved around a couple who moved from the big city to a house “in the country”, which turned out to have “baggage” - ghosts, who set a goal to expel the aliens. To do so, they summoned the “bio-exorcist” Beetlejuice. The movie with a budget of $15 million earned at the box office almost $74 million and the love of the audience. The filming of the sequel had to wait 36 years.
The world premiere of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is scheduled for September 6th.
