For the reboot, which stars Catherine O’Hara, Winona Ryder, and Michael Keaton again, director Tim Burton has returned to his 1988 cult hit.
Actors Willem Dafoe, who is nominated for an Oscar, and Wednesday sensation Jenna Ortega have joined them in the sequel.
A-list celebrities including Lady Gaga, Brad Pitt, Julianne Moore, Daniel Craig, George Clooney, and Brad Pitt are anticipated to make appearances in Venice during the course of the festival’s ten days.
Before the release of the sequel, the cast and director of Beetlejuice arrived by water taxi. Afterward, they signed autographs and posed for pictures.
The majority wore dark, gothic colors, while many donned black-and-white costumes in homage to the Beetlejuice look made popular by the first film.
The film festival, which held a low-key event the previous year due to the Hollywood writers’ strike, is back to its usual self.
In the sequel to Beetlejuice, Kevin Keaton plays the title character, the chaos-causing ghoul. September 6 is the day the movie opens in the UK.
The imaginative journey into the afterlife was a project “from my heart,” according to Burton, who has also helmed Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, and Alice in Wonderland.
