“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” will open the Venice Film Festival, which runs from August 28 to September 7.

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is the long-awaited return of one of the most iconic characters in Tim Burton’s cinema,” said festival director Alberto Barbera.

Barbera described Burton as “one of the most fascinating auteurs of his time” and the sequel “a surprising swing of creative imagination and driving hallucinatory rhythm.”

Actor Michael Keaton reprises his original role, as do Catherine O’Hara and Winona Ryder. Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci and Willem Dafoe also star in the film.
