Feb. 1 (UPI) -- Warner Bros. has announced an official title for Beetlejuice 2.

The studio shared a poster for the movie Thursday that unveils the title as Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

The image shows a pair of hands holding a paper featuring the film's release date, Sept. 6, and the words, "The wait is almost over."

Warner Bros. captioned the post, "Dare you to say it again," referencing how the character Betelgeuse is summoned by calling his name three times.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a sequel to the 1988 film Beetlejuice directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder.

Keaton and Ryder will reprise their roles as Betelgeuse and Lydia Deetz, with Catherine O'Hara to return as Lydia's mom, Delia Deetz, and Monica Bellucci as Betelgeuse's wife. Jenna Ortega and Willem Dafoe join the cast, with Ortega to play Lydia's daughter.

Burton will direct the sequel and announced in November that the movie has completed filming.
