Theatrical Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) (1 Viewer)

This is a WB film, so the trailer will probably be attached to Godzilla x Kong as that is their next release. It is interesting they decided not to put it on Dune.

Speaking of which, I can’t believe Disney let the chance slip to attach trailers for Deadpool/Wolverine and Kingdom of POTA to Dune 2.

Teaser are released online these days.

Super Bowl is big $$$ for trailers and teasers, plus with social media now, it can make or brake a film these days.

I know that. But they also screen in theaters, often with a film from the same studio.

Most people watch teasers and trailers online now, which they will then go on social media and talk about it which will lead it to trending.

Definitely. But usually they're post online at the same time as they go out with a new release film. So when a major new release is coming out from the same studio, it's a good time to anticipate a trailer online.

Yes, I'm aware of how it works. I never suggested that was not the case. None of that means it isn't also important to show trailers in theaters attached to similar films.

I don't think the teaser will be shown before Ghosbusters: Frozen Empire

Okay.

First look

That doesn't look like Michael Keaton at all

Here's the whole picture not just a crop of Jenna and Winona. The guy on the end looks very Otho-esque.

I think that's Justin Theroux.

Could be, haven't seen him since his HBO series, The Leftovers

It's him, he's listed on the photo caption.

Can we assume that (speculation but I’ll spoilerize just in case):

Spoiler

Charles is dead and this is his funeral? There’s no way Jeffery Jones was gonna be allowed to appear in this as he, ahem, had gotten in trouble a while back.

Can we assume that (speculation but I’ll spoilerize just in case):

It's pretty obvious as Maitland's are already dead and Otho wouldn't be buried in CT let alone Winter River.

For the same reason Disney makes endless shitty live action remakes of their animated films: fo' the money.

Meanwhile, the number of original, adult-themed films continues to shrink...

That looks like a Beetlejuice movie. It seems well enough made. But I'm not really getting what makes this one distinctive. I know "Day-O" is an iconic part of the original, but it is kind of surprising to me that they're using it again. Why not use something new to do for some other song what the first film did for "Day-O?"

That being said, this is an early trailer. Its job basically seems to be to tell moviegoers, "Hey, remember Beetlejuice? We made another one." In that respect, this trailer has done its job. The fact that WB put online now almost certainly means it will screen theatrically ahead of Godzilla x Kong next week, as I predicted earlier this month.

I wonder if there will be an in-universe explanation for why Beetlejuice looks and sounds older, or if it will be one of those "Shut up and don't think about that" situations. Obviously, we know how long it has taken to make this movie. Michael Keaton is very much alive, so he's gotten older. But by internal story logic, the dead characters should be the same age as they were in the first film.

Absolutely perfect hype building teaser! The original is one of my all time favorites, so I’m pumped!
