Jenna Ortega embraces gothic glam at Beetlejuice Beetlejuice press call

US actress Jenna Ortega looked equal parts gothic and glamorous as she joined her co-stars at a photocall for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

The follow-up from filmmaker Tim Burton opened the 81st edition of the Venice International Film Festival on Wednesday, marking a reunion for Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara, who reprise their roles in the sequel, alongside new stars Ortega, Monica Bellucci and Willem Dafoe.
