I like Beetlejuice as much as the next guy, (a lot), and would have loved to see Keaton sink his teeth into the character like 20 yrs ago but isn’t a bit late for this? Not according to Tim Burton who states that he’s still interested in resurrecting the long dead “ghost with the most”.

MTV: Is it true that you’re considering doing another “Beetlejuice” film?
Burton: 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 [“Vampire Hunter” 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.
MTV: Has he run any of his ideas by you yet?
Burton: No. 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.
Well, if Seth has some ideas I’m willing to hear them out. Sure, this sequel is waaaaay too late but a good script could change my stance on the idea and it’s been far too long since I’ve seen Michael Keaton involved in a popular film. I’ll keep you posted on developments…
