Beetlejuice 2

No, that is the opposite of what they need to do. This movie is going to be awful. What about hollywood in general or Burton's recent work makes you have any hope about this at all?

I can see this. Burton will wind up replacing Baldwin/Davis with Depp/Carter because it's been almost 3 weeks since Burton had either Depp or Carter in a film.

I agree, I am tired of remakes, and I also really like Michael Keaton. But I would much rather Burton try to come up with something original for Keaton. Keaton is a badass actor with amazing range, he can do all kinds of shit. This just seems like a money grab to me, like Burton trying to prop up his later career after a couple of failures.

Haven't followed Tim Burton recently, so not sure what shit he is making now days, but I did love his older stuff like Batman, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and of course PeeWee. I know Sweeney Todd sucked, but I don't think I have seen any of his other movies in years.

He's pretty much been making the same stuff over and over again with the same people, but in different costumes and movie titles.

dear god, why? although if it has winona ill be there. i love that trashy chick.

I'd rather see Keaton in a Batman reboot.

I saw Beetlejuice in the theater. It was the first VHS I ever owned. I still listen to Harry Bellafonte from time to time.

I predict terrible CGI that will completely ruin my childhood memories of the film.

Big fish was awesome but then again it wasn't depp/carter and his stupid colors

This is what I am afraid of most. I hope they stick with old school stop motion animation and make up effects that they used the first time.

I remember the original sequel was Beetlejuice goes Hawaiian. Wonder if they are still doing that haha.

Obligatory Beetlejuice Two: Electric Bugaloo joke.

Bringing back Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones 20 years older really worked out well, and that's about how long it's been since Burton put out anything new and/or decent. I expect Crystal Skull quality.

its a given that this will be a CGI fest. just because its more convenient to do so. and judging by the decline in burton's writing and directing abilities over the last 20 years, i have very little faith in this being awesome, if any of his movies are watchable its purely because johnny depp saves his ass each and every time, but hes gone to that well far too often. ill give it a shot. bring on lydia dietz

Winona Ryder confirms this is in the works

As much as I would want this to be good, I imagine it will not do the original justice.

I don't think they ever said in the cartoon how Lydia and Beetlejuice became friends, but I would only be interested in this movie if it made the cartoon canon with the two movies. Like maybe a Peter Pan kinda thing where Beetlejuice and Lydia fell out of touch but now he's back to be friends with her kid(s). Or maybe a more original plot where Lydia is still friends with Beetlejuice and still goes on wacky adventures in the Neitherworld with him. Or maybe it's like my first idea but instead of Lydia's kid(s), he needs Lydia's help with something in the Neitherworld for whatever reason.

I don't really care, as long as they don't say the cartoon never happened.
