In the sequel, Catherine O’Hara, 70, Winona Ryder, 52, and Michael Keaton, 72, all reprise their roles, 35 years later.

In May, Beetlejuice fans went into ecstasy when the first trailer for the long-awaited sequel was released.

Years have passed since the events of the original film and Lydia Deetz (Winona) is now the mother of a teenage daughter, Astrid (Jenna).

Lydia assumed she would never hear from the mischievous creature again, until her daughter came across an advertisement for a ‘Bio Exorcist’.

Ultimately, it is Astrid who brings Beetlejuice back by saying his name three times, despite her mother’s stern warnings.

Viewers are then shown clips from their wild ride through the underworld, where they meet a whole host of new faces, played by Justin Theroux and Willem Dafoe.

Burton’s real-life girlfriend, Monica Bellucci, also plays Beetlejuice’s wife.

The director previously told Entertainment Weekly that it was a “weird, out-of-body experience” to see Michael reprise his role after all this time.

“He just went back to it,” the director explained. “It was pretty scary for someone who maybe wasn’t that interested in it.”

He continued: ‘It was so beautiful to see the whole cast, but he, as if possessed by demons, just got right back into it.’

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice is out September 6th.

For some Beetlejuice fans, and for Winona herself, returning to the iconic franchise may be a full-circle moment. The actress herself admits that she sees a lot of her character Lydia in her own personal struggles.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar ahead of the film’s release, she said, “I had two disastrous relationships in my 30s that… they weren’t bad, but this was before you ever thought about Googling someone.

‘Looking back, I’m like, “What the hell was I thinking?” I was dating the type of person who doesn’t let you know they’re seeing someone else until a few weeks into the relationship. And then you’re like, “What the f**k?”

Winona previously admitted that she found it “hard to imagine” a sequel to the hit film, as she imagined her character being “alone” in the “attic.”

She told Slash Film: “I definitely think so, I never pictured Lydia having kids or being in a relationship. I always thought she would probably live in her own little world as she got older. Just kind of in the attic and happy, but alone.”

Winona and her on-screen daughter developed a close bond on set. Jenna has previously raved about working with Winona: “She was so warm and welcoming and kind and inviting from the beginning, and I couldn’t be more grateful to her for that,” she told the New York Times.

Across town, Tim Burton was spotted leaving BBC Broadcasting House

In the 1988 dark fantasy horror comedy, Winona was only 15 years old when she played Lydia Deetz, while Michael, in the title role, was 36.

“It was at a time when my career was taking a different turn and I didn’t realize I needed that from someone who could relate to me, but I did,” she said, adding that she was in a “transformative” time in her life after her overnight superstardom in the Netflix series Wednesday.

Winona first appeared as the Scream Queen when she was just 17 years old in Burton’s hit film, while Jenna made her name at the age of 20 in a collaboration with the same director.

But it looks like Jenna is on her way to becoming this generation’s Screen Queen – a term used for leading actresses in the genre who respond to their terrifying situations with a fit of screaming.

However, the horror film version of the ‘Scream Queen’ has been adapted by the likes of Jenna, who makes her character less likely to scream and more likely to seek revenge.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice review: Tim Burton’s sequel fails to capture the same campy, vampiric spirit as its predecessor, writes BRIAN VINER

Judgement:

How dispiritingly fitting, in this cinematic universe of sequels and franchises, that the film chosen to open the world’s most venerable film festival is Tim Burton’s follow-up to his 1988 smash hit Beetlejuice, which almost no one had anticipated. No one I know, anyway.

The 81st Venice Film Festival kicked off last night with an impressive star-studded red carpet, but the film they came to celebrate – Beetlejuice Beetlejuice – doesn’t really deserve the honor.

The 1988 original was a classic comedy-horror film that, to paraphrase the title of one of the decade’s most famous songs, showed that some creeps just want to have fun.

It was further indication after Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (1985) that Burton, then still in his mid-twenties, had an outsized imagination. And a few years later, that point was reinforced by the gloriously weird Edward Scissorhands (1990).

But the first Beetlejuice was very much of its time: a camp, vampy, Reagan-era mickey-take of yuppies and consumerism. No matter how hard screenwriters Alfred Gough and Miles Millar try to infuse this sequel with the same spirit, they can’t quite do it.
