Tim Burton is in talks to direct Beetlejuice 2, to which he is already attached as a producer with David Geffen, according to Variety. Michael Keaton is also considering a return to the title role, according to the report.
Burton has scheduling issues; he’s due to direct Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children which already has a release date of July 15, 2014.
Seth Grahame-Smith (Dark Shadows, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) is writing a script.
The property has never left the geek zeitgeist, we spotted two Beetlejuice costumes at New York Comic Con (see "New York Comic Con 2013 Photos--Part 7", and "New York Comic Con 2013 Photos--Part 4"). A nice package of the complete animated series was released earlier this year (see "DVD Round-Up: 'Doctor Who' Series 7, 'Beetlejuice,' 'Dark Skies'").
Keaton May Also Return
