Warner Bros. has just dropped a new trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which is the sequel to the beloved 1998 Tim Burton film. In the trailer, Lydia Deetz (played by Winona Ryder) warns viewers right from the start, “Be warned. It’s intense.”
The second trailer for the Beetlejuice sequel is out, and it's longer than the first one. This two-minute preview brings fans back to Winter River, where the Deetz family returns home after a family member's passing.
In the trailer, Lydia gives a quick recap of the first movie in a voiceover. She tells her daughter, Astrid (played by Jenna Ortega), about the time when a mischievous demon haunted their family and tried to make her marry him. Lydia thought he was gone for good until Astrid discovered something in the attic.
Astrid discovered the portal to the afterlife, and when Beetlejuice's name is said three times, he appears - the mischievous ghost played by Michael Keaton.
He exclaims, "The juice is loose," leading to chaos and laughter. The trailer teases explosions, a plane in danger, and strange characters from the afterlife invading Winter River.

Warner Bros. Pictures is bringing back Beetlejuice. According to Ortega, 21, this is a great idea because people should explore weird and offbeat stories. It's important to introduce the younger generation, who are always on their phones, to new artistic and creative ideas. The more unique and strange the story, the more people will be interested in watching it. This could have a positive impact on the film industry as a whole.
Fans almost missed out on seeing Beetlejuice return, according to Keaton. He mentioned to Entertainment Tonight that it took some time to make it happen, and there were moments in the last few years when he didn't think it would happen. Despite his initial reluctance, he eventually found it more enjoyable than the previous experience.

"Oh, man, she's amazing, she just has that special something, you know? She really understands the tone," he commented. "She came in and instantly grasped the vibe of the project and seamlessly fit right in. She's truly talented."
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice hits theaters on September 6, and its title begs the question: If a third movie follows the same naming style, will he be summoned into our world?
