"Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

[Daikun]

A sequel to Tim Burton's Beetlejuice is in development at Brad Pitt's studio, Plan B. Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder are tapped to reprise their roles. Whether Burton will return to the project is unconfirmed at this time. Filming begins this Summer.

Honestly, I'm definitely hoping that Burton returns to direct this.

Michael Keaton back for his greatest hits .

I think both Burton & Keaton always seemed to bring up the idea of a sequel and never in a way of rolling their eyes. So in this age of resurrecting old IP, it's possible they would try it.

Filming reported to resume this week or next.

Surprised this is still happening. Talks of a sequel have been going on for decades and it never happens. This is the first time I ever heard of a potential sequel being filmed.

Now let's hope David Zaslov doesn't do to Keaton / Burton's Beetlejuice in this movie was he did to Keaton / Burton's Batman in Batgirl.

-May-Ortega confirmed, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar revealed to be the new writers, Justin Theroux and Willem Dafoe join the cast, Catherine O'Hara confirmed to reprise Delia Deetz, Monica Bellucci cast as Betelgeuse's wife.

I don't have the source, but I heard Johnny Depp was going to play an exorcist in this. Might be just a cameo like 21 Jump Street did.

11/9: Depp's collaborated with Burton a lot so it wouldn't be a surprise. Last I read a few months ago about Depp was a cameo but that was from Giant Freakin' Robot, so I didn't put much stock in it then.

11/18: Filming resumed in Melrose.

11/25: Ortega and Keaton seen on the set.

11/28: Dafoe revealed he plays "a police officer in the afterlife, so I’m a dead person. And in life I was a B-movie action star."

Oh he'll have a lot of fun with this one .

Filming has officially wrapped.

It would be funny if he made a Mars Attacks sequel, and it ended up making more than Independence Day: Resurgence

It would be weird to make a sequel to that movie. All the Martians are dead. How can you take it from there?
Heck, it's rare for Tim Burton to make sequels, period. Most of his movies are one-and-done. This is his first sequel since Batman Returns over 30 years ago.

I didn't say it would be a good idea, just that it would be funny!

 

[Fone Bone]

A celebrity cast sequel to Mars Attacks would be great. Cloning would be involved I'm sure.

 

[RoyalRubble]

The title is Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

Obvious sequel title is obvious .

Too obvious if you ask me; almost as if they’re implying that they’re planning (read: hoping that they’ll be able to make) a third movie.

Get it? Think about it. With a name like this, what do you think they might call a third movie?…

If there is a 3rd movie, let's hope we don't have to wait another 36 years for it.

And, hey, at least they didn't call the movie Bee2juice!
