News Update: Tim Burton to direct Beetlejuice 2?

There is a lot of love and admiration for Tim Burton's 1988 classic, Beetlejuice - a comic and fantastical tale centered around an obnoxious bio-exorcist from the underworld. Over twenty years later, it appears Beetlejuice 2 is in the works, with Seth Grahame-Smith working on a script.

When it comes to remakes or sequels of beloved cult classics, it's a harsh truth of what will be, will be and there is little chance of a Hollywood studio withdrawing plans for a film deemed untouchable by its admirers. So what can us fans hope for? Well, (and this does not speak for everyone of course) the desire is to have a production that captures the tone and charm of the original. 

Of course, this then begs the question - will Burton return as the director? Originally, he was lauded as the sequels producer but recent developments suggest he may once again return to the director's chair. According to The Wrap, Warner Bros. have offered Burton the opportunity but an answer is unknown, as he is yet to read the latest draft of the script. Unfortunately until then, Beetlejuice fans can only keep their fingers crossed for a return to old form. 

With that in mind, surely this sequel can only exist if Michael Keaton returns to play the titular character?...

Stay tuned for more Beetlejuice developments!
