Winona Ryder said the sequel to the 1988 film "Beetlejuice" is happening after both Tim Burton and Michael Keaton indicated it's in the works.

"I think I can confirm it because Tim Burton did this interview, it was very hush, hush top secret … then he was doing some press for 'Big Eyes' and he did an on-camera interview and he said 'oh, yea we're doing it. Winona's gonna be in it,'" she said on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" Monday.

"So if he said it, I can," she added. "But I really don't know much more than anybody else."

[ElectricBlanketFire]

They've been saying this for years.

 

[HazySaiyan]

So who asked for this 3 times?

 

[adj_noun]

Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice

 

[evilromero]

It's irritating to me that we're just now getting all of these "dream" sequels well after the actors are at a reasonable age.

 

[Acorn]

Please no carter please no carter please no carter

 

[cirrhosis]

But why?

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

I really don't want to see new tim burton take on his classics. This will be like Scott and Prometheus but a million times worse.

 

[Moff]

I'm interested

Meh Keaton being old doesn't hurt beetlejuice.

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

The one comeback I actually want, adore the first one and the scope for more was always there.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Script leaked years ago... gonna be wierd for sure

Yeah new Tim burton is truly awful. I'm not a huge fan of his anyway but I do love Beetlejuice and I don't think he would be able to make anything close to that these days.

 

[Sectorseven]

There was just the right amount of Beetlejuice in the first one. I hope they keep that formula and don't make him the center of the movie.

 

[Shanlei91]

There certainly was.

 

[Goro Majima]

Yeah the 17 pounds of makeup will probably hide most of it. The only question will be if he appears super energetic for the part. Beetlejuice is basically manic after all.

 

[Sephzilla]

The movie better open with his number finally being called

 

[teiresias]

OK Winona, I believe you.

The first is a classic so if Burton can get out of his funk for this I'll be the first to jump in the line.

 

[bryanee]

The movie better open with his number finally being called

That would be perfect.

 

[teruterubozu]

Meh Keaton being old doesn't hurt beetlejuice.

But old Tim Burton definitely hurts these days.

 

[The Cowboy]

That is a very good idea, it would account for age change/time period change perfectly.

 

[Sectorseven]

It's clever, but I don't think anyone would really want that at this point. You'd remember the scene one way, but when you saw the recreation suddenly you'd notice how old Michael Keaton got.

 

[Acorn]

But old Tim Burton definitely hurts these days.

This is true.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Someone suggested this a long time ago, but the only other person I can see playing Beetlejuice and pulling it off is Will Arnette.

 

[samoscratch]

Can't say I trust Tim Burton to make this good.

 

[jmood88]

It's irritating to me that we're just now getting all of these "dream" sequels well after the actors are at a reasonable age.

How would the actors being older affect this movie?

 

[Shaanyboi]

Strike while the iron is hot, right?

 

[User 463088]

Though I know I should be wary,
Still I venture someplace scary.
Ghostly haunting, I turn loose,
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!

 

[Sephzilla]

Hopefully this does well at the Box Office and we get Keaton back as Bruce Wayne post the Affleck run.

So long as he plays Old Bruce in Batman Beyond

It's clever, but I don't think anyone would really want that at this point. You'd remember the scene one way, but when you saw the recreation suddenly you'd notice how old Michael Keaton got.

That's why it's funny.

EDIT: beaten

I really hope this doesn't happen. Not with Burton anyway.

It wouldn't be a recreation, though. The joke is that it took 30 years for his number to be called.

 

[LyleLanley]

There certainly was.

I really need to re-watch this.

 

[Raistlin]

That is a very good idea, it would account for age change/time period change perfectly.

Ghosts age?

 

[PSqueak]

The movie better open with his number finally being called

Was thinking exactly this.

Ghosts age?

If Ryder is back, that post most likely meant for Lydia.

In the original movie Keaton was under a tone of make up, no reason for him to not be buried in make up again.

...and Quentin Tarantino is making Kill Bill 3.

...and Sam Raimi is making another Evil Dead movie with Ash and Mia.

I'll believe it all when I'm sitting in the theater watching it.

Anyway, I went to imdb to check on Tim Burton movies after all these cries of "he's bad now" and I realized that he's really no more hit-or-miss now than he was 20 years ago.

 

[Big Blue]

Why?

 

[itwasTuesday]

Going tropical? I'm in.

 

[DrForester]

...must we go Tropical?

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

I'm worried about Burton too. Might have lost his mojo.

Does Ash vs Evil Dead count?

 

[zeemumu]

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I haven't seen Winona Ryder in ages.

Just googled recent pictures of her. She looks great.

 

[thecouncil]

well, with that tv show in the bag, he still talks about another movie with mia and ash. haha. he was like, "is this tv show good enough?" and we all crossed our arms and were like, "itll do... itll do for now..."

 

[TsunamiOfSwagger]

Glad someone posted this.

 

[xbhaskarx]

But why?

Because Tim Burton has run out of original ideas.

After watching that video and seeing this she looks so different now! I can't believe she's about to be 43 :0

 

[Rentahamster]

I read the thread title and groaned, but if all those original people are coming back, then I have hope.

Hawaiian vacation here we come
