It's showtime!

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!
A sequel to Tim Burton's 1988 fantasy horror comedy is officially on the way. During Warner Bros. CinemaCon prese♋ntation, a title treatment for Beetlejuice 2 briefly popped up during a sizzle reel of movies coming soon.
The original movie follows a recently deceased couple (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) who, after returning to the land of the living as ghosts, are unhappy with t♏he new family movin𒐪g in. The couple enlists the help of so-called "bio-exorcist" Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) to scare them away – and realize that a member of the new family, a young girl named Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) can see them.
Beetlejuice was a critical and commercial success, bringing in over $74 mil🧸lion at the global box office against a budget of $15 million and winning the Academy Award for Best Makeup. Thℱe film also spawned an animated series that aired on ABC and Fox in 1989 and a 2018 Broadway Musical.
Wednesday star Jenna Ortega i𝓰s reportedly in talks to join the sequel as Ryder's daughter, with Keaton set to retಌurn.
A sequel to the hit film has been in development hell since 🍬1990, when Burton hired Mars Attacks! screenwriter Jonathan Gems to write a script titled "Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian," which would have seen the Deetz family move to Hawaii. Burton and Keaton were reportedly in talks about a sequel again around 2012, before Warner Bros. announced the movie had been shelved in 2🌊019. The official sequel was announced in March last year.
