Movie Preview: “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”

It’s been 36 years since Michael Keaton, Tim Burton, Winona & Co. learned why we should NEVER say “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.”

So naturally, this update features horror comedy pixie Jenna Ortega.

Keaton is back as the title character, and Ryder, the “trixter-demon” curious teen in the original film is all grown up — allegedly.

Willem Dafoe, Catherine O’Hara, Monica Bellucci, Justin Theroux and Danny DeVito are the newer faces or old Friends of Tim coming round for another laugh or two.

Looks like vintage Burton, even if Michael K. has lost some of the antic fun of his youth.

Sept. 6? We’ll see.
