Everything you’ve heard about “Beetlejuice 2” – except the fact that it might happen one day – is a croc, according to director Tim Burton.
Speaking to Collider at the press day for “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children”, Burton offered an update on the long-gestating sequel to the 1988 hit, explaining that while Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder are interested in joining him on the follow-up, nobody’s going to do until it feels right.
“This is the thing, it’s something that I’m interested in, but there’s so many stories [online], dumping Michael Keaton for Johnny Depp and this or that, and I’ve talked to these people and they didn’t wanna hear this so they just made up a story. But the fact of it is I have talked to Michael and I have talked to Winona, I’ve talked to a few people and it’s something that I really would like to do in the right circumstances. But it’s one of those films where it has to be right. It’s not a kind of a movie that cries out [for a sequel], it’s not the “Beetlejuice” trilogy. So, it’s something that if the elements are right— because I do love the character and Michael’s amazing as that character, so we’ll see. But there’s nothing concrete yet.
Hopefully it’ll happen before Keaton’s price tag gets even heftier!
