“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” to Revisit Iconic “Day-O” Scene, Confirms Catherine O’Hara

Catherine O’Hara has confirmed that the sequel will revisit one of the original film’s most iconic scenes. Speaking on the “Let’s Talk Off Camera” podcast with Kelly Ripa, O’Hara, who will reprise her role as Delia Deetz, revealed that the Harry Belafonte song “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)” will make a comeback in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”. The song was central to one of the first film’s most memorable moments, though O’Hara stopped short of detailing how it would be incorporated into the new storyline.

Scene from the original Beetlejuice (1988)

The sequel, once again under the direction of Tim Burton, promises to bring back the eerie, whimsical charm that made the original a beloved fixture in the fantasy-comedy genre. Alongside O’Hara, Michael Keaton will return as the titular character, with Winona Ryder also reprising her role. New faces joining the cast include Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, Monica Bellucci, and Justin Theroux, adding fresh dynamics to the well-loved ensemble.

Michael Keaton shared his excitement about returning to his role, hinting at unexpected twists and a deeper exploration of Beetlejuice’s backstory. “The great thing about playing Beetlejuice is, that clichéd thing, you never make the statement, ‘Well, my character wouldn’t do that.’ He’d do anything, which was so tremendous to play,” Keaton remarked during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” He teased that director Tim Burton has introduced a surprising new layer to his character that fans will find intriguing.

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is penned by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with a story by Seth Grahame-Smith. The film is slated for a theatrical release on September 6, 2024, and is eagerly anticipated by fans eager to see how the new installment will pay homage to the original while charting its own unique course.

The Evil Dead Burn Trailer Is Here and It Is Everything

Published

April 21, 2026

Luna Gray

The teaser for Evil Dead Burn is attached to Lee Cronin’s The Mummy in theaters right now, which means you have to earn it. Go see The Mummy. You will probably enjoy that too.

Here is what we got. A young girl crawling across an apartment floor desperately trying to stay alive in a room with a Deadite. It is hard to tell, but the whole thing may be one continuous shot of her trying to get away from all of it. It is action packed, and it is gory, and ultraviolent in a way we have never seen in the franchise. For a teaser. That is a thesis statement. That is Sébastien Vaniček telling you exactly what kind of film this is going to be.

Evil Dead Burn opens July 10.

Why Vaniček Was the Right Call

The director is Sébastien Vaniček, who made Infested in 2023. Infested is a French spider horror film set entirely in a crumbling apartment building, and it is one of the better creature features of the last decade. It is relentless.

A single girl crawling across a dirty apartment floor with Deadites closing in is exactly the kind of scene Vaniček was built for. He does not need big spaces or big budgets. He needs a person, a threat, and no way out. That is Evil Dead. That has always been Evil Dead.

He co-wrote the script with Florent Bernard, his Infested collaborator. Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert produce through Ghost House Pictures. Bruce Campbell and Lee Cronin are executive producers. The whole institution showed up for this one.

What the Film Is About

A woman loses her husband in a car accident and goes to stay with her in-laws at their remote house. The in-laws find the Book of the Dead. You already know what happens after that. You have always known.

Souheila Yacoub leads the cast, joined by Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Tandi Wright, and George Pullar. The film shot in New Zealand between July and October 2025 and is the sixth installment in the Evil Dead series.

Evil Dead Rise proved the standalone approach works. It did not need you to have seen anything. Burn looks like it is doing the same thing and doing it in a filthier, more confined space, which is exactly where this franchise lives best. If the teaser is any indication, Vaniček understood the assignment from the first frame.

Evil Dead Wrath follows in 2028, directed by Francis Galluppi. The pipeline is full. I am not complaining.

The Practical Magic 2 Teaser Trailer Is Finally Here

Published

Luna Gray

The Practical Magic 2 teaser trailer is out, and it is worth taking a second to appreciate what we are actually looking at here. A film that bombed at the box office in 1998, fell short of recouping its $75 million budget, and got mixed reviews at best is now getting a sequel with its full original cast, a rebuilt set, and a room full of theater owners losing their minds at CinemaCon.

What Happened the First Time

The original Practical Magic came out in October 1998 and critics did not know what to do with it. It was part romantic comedy, part domestic abuse drama, part supernatural thriller, part crime story. The tonal whiplash was real, and the reviews reflected that. The film underperformed. Nobody called it a classic.

Then it became one anyway. The film found its audience over the following two decades, particularly among millennial women who responded to what it was actually doing underneath the genre mess. A film about women protecting each other, centered entirely on a bloodline of women, with a finale built around a community of women coming together.

What the Trailer Shows

Sandra Bullock opens the teaser in voiceover as Sally: “I’m sure you’ve heard of the Owens family. The ones from Massachusetts. The ones their neighbors whisper are witches.” Nicole Kidman is back as Gillian, settled into life with a black cat. The house on the cliff was rebuilt from scratch for the film.

Bullock said of returning: “Coming back didn’t feel like shooting a sequel. It felt like coming back home.” Given that the original cast and director were not involved in any franchise maintenance for twenty-eight years, that is something.

The Cast

Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest are both back as the aunts Frances and Jet. The film adds Joey King as Sally’s daughter. She uncovers buried family secrets and develops dark powers of her own. Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, and Solly McLeod round out the new generation.

Practical Magic 2 opens September 11, 2026.

‘Colony’ Trailer Reveals New Zombie Film from ‘Train to Busan’ Director as Original Returns to Theaters

Published

1 week ago

April 13, 2026

Anthony Pernicka

Yeon Sang-ho is heading back into zombie territory with the new film Colony, and a new trailer just released.

If that name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the director behind Train to Busan. And while Colony isn’t a sequel, the timing lines up in an interesting way. Train to Busan is also coming back to theaters in 4K for its 10th anniversary.

So yeah, it’s a good time to be a zombie fan.

The setup is pretty straightforward, but it works.

Colony takes place during a biotech conference where something goes wrong fast. A virus breaks out inside the facility, and instead of letting it spread, authorities lock the entire place down. Which means everyone inside is stuck.

From the trailer, most of the story looks like it stays inside that space. You’ve got people trying to figure out what’s happening while things get worse around them. There’s panic, confusion, and that feeling that nobody really knows how bad it’s about to get.

The infected also don’t seem completely predictable. There are hints that whatever this virus is, it might be changing as it spreads. The trailer doesn’t spell it out, but it’s enough to raise some questions. And honestly, that’s probably the point.

‘Train to Busan‘ Is Coming Back to Theaters

At the same time, Train to Busan is getting a 4K theatrical re-release in the U.S. for its 10th anniversary.

If you’ve never seen it in a theater, this is one of those movies that really benefits from it. The tight spaces, the pacing, the way everything keeps moving, it hits differently on a big screen. And if you’ve already seen it, you probably know why people are excited to go back.

If you want to own the 4K DVD of Train to Busan you can pick that up here.

Bringing Train to Busan back right before Colony comes out feels pretty intentional.

It puts Yeon Sang-ho back in front of audiences and reminds people what kind of stories he tells, without needing a direct connection between the two films.

They’re separate projects, but they definitely sit in the same space.

Yeon Sang-ho Back in Familiar Territory

Yeon Sang-ho has done a mix of projects since Train to Busan, but Colony brings him back to a type of story people already associate with his work. Not in a sequel way, just in tone and setup. It’s another situation where people are thrown into something they don’t understand and have to react in real time.

Between Colony and the return of Train to Busan, there’s a bit of a spotlight back on Yeon Sang-ho and the kind of zombie stories he tells. One is something familiar coming back to theaters. The other is a new story that’s just getting started. We’ll see how much more gets revealed soon, but for now, the trailer at least gives a solid idea of what kind of ride Colony is setting up.
