AceShowbiz - Get ready to dive into some spooky shenanigans and fiery fun as Michael Keaton returns in an uproarious parody of the "Hot Ones" interview series, promoting the much-anticipated sequel, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice".

Warner Bros has turned up the heat with a comedy promo for "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice", set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival this week before its theatrical release on September 6. The promo is an unofficial riff on the popular YouTube show "Hot Ones", where comedian Sean Evans interviews celebrities as they munch on increasingly spicy hot wings. However, in this humorous twist called 'Not Ones', it's all about spicy ribs.

Michael Keaton, reprising his role as the miscreant Betelgeuse, interviews his in-movie character over a plate of ribs drenched in scorching hot sauce. Keaton quizzes Betelgeuse on his influences, eliciting an outlandish response. "Napoleon was a pal," Betelgeuse quips, adding, "[Justin Bieber], of course, for obvious reasons. Caligula was a wild man, I gotta say." The hilarity escalates as the demon, face smeared in hot sauce, continues to dodge philosophical queries about the infinite nature of time.

This short yet highly engaging video, clocking in at barely 90 seconds, leaves the audience craving more. Many fans expressed a desire for a full-length segment, akin to the original "Hot Ones" episodes. Warner Bros strikes a perfect balance of humor and nostalgia, reminding fans of the mischievous charm that Betelgeuse brings to the screen.

Directed by the visionary Tim Burton, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" revisits the eerie world of the original film. Winona Ryder returns as Lydia, joined by a new generation facing supernatural threats in Winter River. The storyline centers around Lydia's rebellious teen daughter, Astrid, who accidentally opens a portal to the Afterlife, setting the stage for more of Betelgeuse's mayhem.

The screenplay, crafted by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar from a story by Gough, Millar and Seth Grahame-Smith, promises to deliver a mix of dark comedy and fantastical elements. Produced by an ensemble including Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner and Tim Burton himself, this sequel aims to captivate both old fans and new audiences alike.

With the promotional "Not Ones" interview drawing laughs and sparking buzz, the anticipation for "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" is sizzling hot. Stay tuned as the film spooks its way to theaters on September 6.
