There Have Been Meetings WIth Michael Keaton for BEETLEJUICE 2

Say it once, say it twice, third time's the charm!

Say it once, say it twice, third time’s the charm!

Shock Til Ya Drop recently spoke with ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER writer Seth Grahame-Smith, who commented on the possibility of a BEETLEJUICE sequel, and apparently, it’s on everyone’s radar, including Tim Burton, Warner Bros, and star Michael Keaton!

“It’s a reality in the sense that I met with Michael Keaton last week. We talked for a couple of hours and talked about big picture stuff. It’s a priority for Warner Bros. It’s a priority for Tim. Right now, I am writing an animated movie for Tim based on an idea of mine. Then I adapt Unholy Night [based on the upcoming book]. The third I am hoping is Beetlejuice in terms of writing schedule.”

Yes!  And if you have any doubt that Michael Keaton is up for a sequel more than two decades later, think again:

“He’s been wanting to do it for 20 years and he’ll talk to anybody about it who will listen. I really told him, I have a huge reverence for Tim and a huge reverence for that film in general. I don’t think we should do it if we shit on the legacy. He agrees. So, right now, it remains to be seen, I have a couple of story ideas, but we’re very early out.”

I, for one, think that a BEETLEJUICE sequel in the right hands would be absolutely amazing.  If Burton comes back and Keaton is excited, then I’m excited.  All I want is to hear something directly from either guy’s mouth, and I’m set!

But the question is…you think he’s qualified…?
