Beetlejuice sequel to open Venice Film Festival

The sequel to Tim Burton's 1988 "Beetlejuice" will premiere at this year's Venice Film Festival, bringing back actor Michael Keaton as the havoc-wrecking demon, organizers said July 2.

"Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" will kick off the glitzy festival running from August 28 through Sept. 7 on Venice's Lido, showing out of competition.
