Justin Theroux on the Joy of Playing His ‘Shallow and Dim’ Swindler in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

More than 35 years after Beetlejuice arrived on the horror comedy scene and left an indelible mark on pop culture, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, a long-awaited sequel to Tim Burton’s ghoulish cult classic, is slated to hit theaters Sept. 6. This time around, the story follows a now middle-aged Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) as she returns to Winter River in the wake of an unexpected family tragedy—only to find herself once again contending with the tricks and torments of Michael Keaton’s titular malevolence.
