In an interview with Late Night with Seth Meyers, Winona Ryder confirmed what Tim Burton has previously mentioned- that they are in fact going ahead with Beetlejuice 2.
“Um, I think I can confirm it, because Tim Burton did this interview — like, it was very hush hush, top secret … and then he was doing some press for Big Eyes and he did an on-camera interview and he said, ‘Oh yeah we’re doing it and Winona’s going to be in it,’ and I was like [shocked face].”
Sequels after that long of a hiatus is dicey, but Michael Keaton returning to one of his best roles seems like the chances of it at least being decent are that much better.
Ryder also stated that TSA makes her say Beetlejuice three times before they let her through airport security. I had a strip search last time I went through JFK, so celebrity has it’s perks, I suppose.
