Michael Keaton Still Wants BEETLEJUICE 2
Well, it looks like, even after all this time, Beetlejuice star Michael Keaton is still bringing up Beetlejuice 2 to everyone he can, hoping to get in into production. This time it was long-time Tim Burton composer, Danny Elfman, who tells JOE:
“…a year ago, I saw Michael Keaton, and he mentioned ‘So, we’re doing Beetlejuice 2?’, and I said ‘Well, you’d know more than I do.'”
He then goes on to admit that the sequel may be further along than he knows, adding:
“Yeah, projects will be in development for quite a long time. So I think it is something that has been in development for a few years, but I don’t know where it is in that process. I’m always the last one to hear, believe me. Often, I’ll hear about whatever movie Tim is doing, it is kinda funny, because he’ll call me and he’ll say ‘Danny, I’m doing such and such a film, would you like to come on board?’, and I’ll already have read about it in Variety two weeks earlier. So I’m not the first one to hear about things, let me put it that way.”

Beetlejuice begins after Barbara (Geena Davis) and Adam Maitland (Alec Baldwin) die in a car accident, they find themselves stuck haunting their country residence, unable to leave the house. When the unbearable Deetzes (Catherine O’Hara, Jeffrey Jones) and teen daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder) buy the home, the Maitlands attempt to scare them away without success. Their efforts attract Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), a rambunctious spirit whose “help” quickly becomes dangerous for the Maitlands and innocent Lydia.
Tim Burton directed Beetlejuice from a screenplay written by Michael McDowell and Warren Skaaren based on a story by McDowell and Larry Wilson. Michael Bender, Larry Wilson, and Richard Hashimoto produced. It starred Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Jeffrey Jones, Catherine O’Hara, Winona Ryder, and Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice. Warner Bros. unleashed the ghost with the most into theaters back on March 30, 1988.
