Tim Burton and Michael Keaton In Talks For Beetlejuice 2

It appears the rumor that Tim Burton is involved in a Beetlejuice sequel has turned out to be true. According to TheWrap, Burton is officially in talks to direct Beetlejuice 2 for Warner Brothers.

It is assumed that Michael Keaton will once again take on the role of the wise-cracking “ghost with the most.”

Although the movie being discussed, it most likely won’t be out for a while. Both Burton and Keaton are working on projects, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, Burton has not yet read the latest draft of the script. Still, the talks are promising!

While a lot of time has passed since the original 1988 movie was released, I have high hopes that the sequel it can live up to its predecessor and become another Halloween classic. With Keaton being involved in some highly anticipated upcoming movies (Robocop, Toy Story 4, Need for Speed…) and Burton just coming down from a recent Oscar nomination for the 2012 movie Frankenweenie, Beetlejuice 2 will be must see, at least for me!

What do you think of the news? Are you excited for a Beetlejuice sequel?
