BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE

Director: Tim Burton
Starring: Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Jenna Ortega, Catherine O’Hara, Justin Theroux, Willem Dafoe, Monica Bellucci, Arthur Conti, Burn Gorman

The long-awaited sequel to Beetlejuice is here as Michael Keaton slips back into the title role as if no time has passed in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Rumors of a sequel have been gestating for at least a decade now. Patience was key, as I can’t imagine a better cast of new actors and characters to join in on the fun. The Deetz family is just as dysfunctional as we last left them. Winona Ryder’s Lydia Deetz still sees ghosts, and she’s turned that into a career as a psychic mediator and host of her own television series. Justin Theroux plays her boyfriend and producer, Rory, whose Earthy New Age ways seem a little off. Lydia’s daughter, Astrid (Ortega), is off at an arts school and basically wants nothing to do with her mom. The family must come together when Delia Deetz (O’Hara) informs Lydia that her father, Charles, has unexpectedly passed away. In the Afterlife, Beetlejuice runs an afterlife call center still pining over Lydia and afraid of his ex-wife, Delores. In theaters
