Beetlejuice 2 is back in the works!

Beetlejuice 2, Beetlejuice 2, Beetlejuice 2!  If we say his name three times Hollywood will make the sequel to the 1988 Tim Burton classic!

David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith's production company KatzSmith has just signed a two year first-look deal with Warner Brothers, and the first thing on slate for them is the long-awaited sequel to Beetlejuice, the 1988 Tim Burton-directed hit starring Michael Keaton as the title character, with Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin and a young Winona Ryder. 

The  good news is that The film will not be a remake, the intention is to reboot it by advancing the storyline of the original. Grahame-Smith recently worked with Tim Burton on his current project, "Dark Shadows," so he's familiar not just with Burton's style, but with writing for beloved and spooky characters from our past. ("Dark Shadows" head vamp Barnabas Collins will be played Johnny Depp.)

Now a vast majority of Beetlejuice fans are not very thrilled about the ghoulish sequel. Beetlejuice is a cult classic film and was a pioneer in it's time in terms of special effects  and make-up, winning an Oscar for the latter. So the sequel comes with alot of hesitation and much expectation to not tarnish the Beetlejuice image.

In the 90's with the Beetlejuice-Mania still boiling, the sequel Beetlejuice goes to Hawaii was in the works with Burton coming back as Director, but thank God it wasn't made, that sounds like it would have been a huge flop! 

So now, 23 years or so later the continuation seems a bit out of place. Will Michael Keaton still play Beetlejuice? Cause another actor would be hard to believe, It's gonna be tough to fill Bettlejuice's shoes!  Maybe a Remake would be a better idea than the Part 2?

Are you excited about the Beetlejuice sequel or do you think it's a bad idea?
