BEETLEJUICE 2 Set Videos Surface Featuring Jenna Ortega, Michael Keaton, and Director Tim Burton

A few videos from the set of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice 2 have been shared on social media and they offer a look at Jenna Ortega as Lydia's daughter, Astrid, as she rides her bicycle through town. There’s also a quick glimpse of Michael Keaton back in the role of Betelgeuse.

When previously talking about making the movie, Keaton said: "Beetlejuice is the most f*ckin' fun you can have working, It's so fun, it's so great. And you know what it is? We're doing it exactly like we did the first movie ... There's a woman in the great waiting room for the afterlife literally with a fishing line – I want people to know this because I love it – tugging on the tail of a cat to make it move." 

The film’s cinematographer, Haris Zambarloukos, also offered some insight on the story saying that the movie will tell a story about family: "At its heart Beetlejuice [2] is a story about a family, and now it's 30 years later and what are the intricacies and the human condition in keeping a family together all that time set in the craziest world possible? That's why I choose projects. That human connection for me is always at the forefront."

The movie also stars Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz, and Monica Bellucci (Irreversible, Spectre, The Apartment) as Beetlejuice’s wife in the story. Willem Dafoe is also in the movie and plays a ghoulish law enforcement officer in the Neitherworld.

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (Wednesday and Smallville) wrote the script along with an earlier draft by Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg. Katzenberg and Grahame-Smith are also producing. Danny Elfman is returning to compose the score.

Beetlejuice 2 is set to be released in theaters on September 6, 2024.
