If you're a child of the 80s and 90s you probably saw Beetlejuice more than once. Quirky, zany, funny, horrific, it's classic Tim Burton before he decided to make everything with Johnny Depp. Also up until the following year's Batman, Beetlejuice was the film Michael Keaton was the most known for.
Well looks like the "ghost with the most" may be back. "The Wrap" reports that Tim Burton is currently in talks to direct the sequel to the 1988 hit film. Michael Keaton also plans to return. Burton was set to direct an adaptation of Miss Peregrine's Home for Unusual Children but may have since begged off. Seth Grahame-Smith, who wrote Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, is currently writing the script as well. All we know is that the film is set some twenty-seven years after the first film. There's probably no chance that Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis return, because let's face it, ghosts don't age. (Obviously the same wouldn't apply to Keaton since he'd be under a heap of makeup. See pic above.) But I could definitely see Winona Ryder coming back. Maybe her kids would be involved?
I have mixed emotions about this project. On one hand a sequel to Beetlejuice is an intriguing prospect. However, I'm really getting tired of Burton either revisiting old projects, rebooting old television shows, or adapting books into film. He hasn't done anything original in years and if somehow he casts Johnny Depp in this I might lose my shit.
I wonder. If I say Johnny Depp three times will he go away from Tim Burton movies?
