Beetlejuice Sequel to Premiere at Venice Film Festival
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Tim Burton’s highly anticipated sequel to his 1988 classic Beetlejuice, has been chosen as the opening film for the Venice Film Festival. This event will mark the world premiere of the film, reuniting original stars Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder with director Burton.
Festival director Alberto Barbera praised the film, stating that it “marks the long-awaited return of one of the most iconic characters of Tim Burton’s cinema, but also the happy confirmation of the extraordinary visionary talent and the masterly realization of one of the most fascinating auteurs of his time.”
Burton expressed his excitement, saying, “It means a lot to me to have the world premiere of this film at the Venice Film Festival.”
Set 36 years after the events of the original movie, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice introduces Jenna Ortega as Astrid Deetz, the daughter of Ryder’s character Lydia Deetz. Keaton reprises his role as the “bio-exorcist” Beetlejuice, with Monica Bellucci joining the cast as his ex-wife Delores. The film is written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with story credits to Gough, Millar, and Seth Grahame-Smith.
The sequel has been in development for many years, with various versions considered since the late 1980s. One early idea by Burton was Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian, which featured the title character entering a surf contest.
The Venice Film Festival, known for its prestigious opening slot, runs from 28 August to 7 September. This position is highly coveted on the festival circuit, with past openers such as La La Land and Birdman achieving significant awards success.
