Michael Keaton revives his unforgettable Beetlejuice role in the first sneak peek for the sequel to 1988’s blockbuster, called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
Warner Bros. released the first teaser for Tim Burton’s hotly-anticipated follow-up on Thursday, starring Keaton, 72, Winona Ryder, 52, and Catherine O’Hara, 70.
The three longtime actors — all original cast members — are joined by Justin Theroux, Willem Dafoe and Jenna Ortega in the forthcoming film.
Burton’s real-life girlfriend Monica Bellucci, 59, also has a role in the movie.
A Beetlejuice Beetlejuice synopsis reads: ‘After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened.’

The summary continues, ‘With trouble brewing in both realms, it’s only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.’
The minute-long trailer opens with an angelic, chilling, slowed-down rendition of Harry Belafonte’s 1956 tune Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) sung by a choir.
