Beetlejuice 2 Filming this year

*Autbot_Benz* · 06-29-2015, 03:25 PM

Earlier this year, we brought you the news here at iHorror that the ghost with the most was coming back once more to scare up some nostalgia in our lives. Well, we got the solid news from an Entertainment Weekly interview with Seth Grahame-Smith, who is writing the script, confirmed the sequel will definitely start filming most likely towards the end of 2015. It’s also been confirmed that, Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder are 100% set to bring the gothic tale of the not so recently deceased to another level as envisioned by returning director Tim Burton.

The Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies author Seth Grahame-Smith, sat down with EW and when was questioned about Beetlejuice had this to say:

“[Burton] was doing press for ‘Big Eyes’ right before the holiday, and was getting the ‘Beetlejuice’ question, and sort of tipped people off that Winona [Ryder] would be back. Which yes, she will be back,” Grahame-Smith told EW. “I think we landed on the right idea, landed on the right approach. It’s just now making sure that — for me — I don’t want to **** my pants in front of the entire world making a sequel to one of my favorite movies.”

“I’ve emailed with Michael Keaton. I know he’s excited about the idea,” Grahame-Smith said. “I know Tim is excited about the idea. Where it stands now is Tim’s got to get ready to make [‘Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children’], and then hopefully we are set, deals are done, and we’re waiting in the wings ready to go right after ‘Peregrine’s’ wraps up. The ideal timeline is we’re really getting into it toward the end of this year.”

While there is no word on an official plot yet, but if Keaton and Burton are both pumped for what Smith is putting out there for the film, then clearly we should be as well. I can’t help but wonder if Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin will return as well. Thinking realistically, my guess is no; as “the dead” shouldn’t age and it’s been well over 25 years since the last film. But hey, this is magical Hollywood, and anything is certainly possible. Stay tuned to iHorror for the latest developments on this movie. Time to break out in a Belafonte dance people. Beetlejuice 2 is officially on it’s way!

What's up with old movies getting sequels lately?

*JTH* · 06-29-2015, 03:32 PM

Is it the long planned sequel "Bettlejuice Goes Hawaiian"?

*turtlefanforever* · 06-29-2015, 04:07 PM

Haven't we said all we needed to say with the first film? Must we go tropical?

Haha love that Kev Smith story.

Well, even if it's awful the people involved will somehow make it good enough to justify its existence. Probably one of like, five movies that could actually pull off an entertaining enough "Nobody Asked For It" sequel over two decades later.

I'm puzzled. But I guess everyone's at that "You only live once" point in their careers, so I get it.

Why? This is a movie that really doesn't need a sequel.

Exactly really, but then again it got a tv show so stranger sh*t can happen

Remakes and sequels of 80s-90s properties have been the trend for a while now. Just another attempt at making some cash out of people who will see it on opening day due to nostalgia guiding their hearts to the theaters.

From in interview with Tim Burton
So when can we expect it? Well, it may not be too far away.

In an interview with Showbiz Spy, Burton provided a hugely exciting update.

“The film is a go and has been approved by the Warner Bros. team, we have talked with the cast members we wanted for the film and they are all on board, this includes both Winona and Michael,” said the fan-favorite director. “We have the script in hand – everything is in place all we need to do now is get ready to start filming.”

Seth Grahame-Smith wrote Beetlejuice 2, which is supposedly a true sequel to the original.

More as we learn it!

Not sure the film needs a sequel, but at least if Keaton and Ryder are on board, that's something. You can't do a sequel without either of them.

*drgon78* · 03-11-2016, 05:52 AM

I really wish they did this sequel 15-20 years ago but at least it is happening.
