BEETLEJUICE 2 Is Back In Development; Michael Keaton And Winona Ryder Expected To Return

We've been hearing about a possible sequel to Tim Burton's classic horror comedy for many years, but it now looks like Warner Bros. is finally ready to get the ball rolling on Beetlejuice 2.

It looks like Beetlejuice 2 is finally about to get up and running, as Deadline reports that Brad Pitt's Plan B production company has boarded the project.

The sequel to Tim Burton's beloved horror comedy is now officially in early development, though there is no script, and it's unclear if Burton will return to direct. However, a separate report from The Ankler's Jeff Sneider claims that both Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder are set to reprise their respective roles as the titular "bio exorcist" and Lydia Deetz.

Alec Baldwin is currently mired in legal troubles after the tragic shooting on the set of Rust, but we may also see Gena Davis back as Barbara Maitland.

Rememory and Marvel's Runaways scribe Mike Vukadinovich was hired to pen a new draft of the script back in 2017, but it sounds like the studio will be starting from scratch with a brand-new story. As far as we know, Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg are still on board as producers.

As cool as it would be to get the whole gang back together for another Bettlejuice movie, some feel too much time has passed and they should let this particular ghost with the most rest in peace. What do you guys think? Drop us a comment down below.

Honestly, for the amount of time that has passed, this is one movie where that might actually work just fine.

If it starts with BJ still sitting in the waiting room with the small head then I'll be sold haha.

PS. I also don't like the separation of all the new sites. Just saying.
