Tim Burton to Direct BEETLEJUICE 2

Tim Burton is unstoppable. And in case you’re interested in his future movies, I’m here to inform you Burton is quite serious about Beetlejuice sequel after all.

Ok, this is not such a huge surprise. Beetlejuice 2 has been rumored for years and we all know that in September Warner Bros. set Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg to begin their work on a “reboot.”

So, what are we waiting for?

I have no idea, but I know what Tim Burton had to say about the whole thing:

“Yes. I love that character, and Michael Keaton is so great in it. I always think about how great and fun that character was, so I just said to writer Seth Grahame-Smith, ‘If you have some idea about it, go for it, and then I’ll look at it freshly.’

In the past, I tried some things, but that was way back when. He seemed really excited about it. I told him to try some stuff, but he hasn’t come back to me yet. Michael was so great in it. I’m sure he’d strangely tap right back into it.”

Yeah, well, while we’re still here at Keaton-rumors, let me just add that the actor has previously expressed an interest in reprising the role of charismatic freelance “bio-exorcist” ghost Beetlejuice saying:

“Oh I’d do that in a heartbeat – absolutely, that’s the one thing I’d love to do again.”

We’ll definitely have to wait for more updates on this one, but any thoughts so far?
