beetlejuice 2

It's true!! It's true!!

Beetlejuice 2 is (most likely) happening!!

The hardcore Tim Burton fans know how zany the original was — some would even say it was on a whole different level of the usual Burton kook.

And even though it's over a decade old, it still has such a cult following!!

So that's why Hollywood is interested in making another one. And we don't blame 'em!! Could be fun to see what they can do with that story in today's technological wonderland.

When Timmy Tim Tim was asked if he'd direct a sequel, he said:

Yes. I love that character, and Michael Keaton is so great in it. I always think about how great and fun that character was, so I just said to [Dark Shadows writer] Seth Grahame-Smith, ‘If you have some idea about it, go for it, and then I’ll look at it freshly.’ In the past, I tried some things, but that was way back when. He seemed really excited about it. Michael was so great in it. I’m sure he’d strangely tap right back into it.

OMG Michael!! He has to do it agan!! Especially since it's not a reboot!!

But hmm… we need a Plan B in case he declines… Who could play him??

Oddly enough, we can see Ryan Reynolds! This could be a good role for him to stretch his skills, no? Okay, okay, maybe we just see that because he's tall and could still be hot in ugly make-up, LOL!

Oooh, so exciting! We love this game. Okay, so who else could U see?!!

I LOVE beetle juice. Usually I would say stop with the remakes/sequals etc but this is would be great! Gotta keep micheal keaton or if hes to "old" please make him look as close to the orignal as possible. Whoever made the new hellraiser really F'ed it up and I was disgusted with the movie.

while in fact it is "over a decade old" your info is RATHER mis-stated. It is in fact 24 years since the movie was released. As always your research leaves much to be desired.

Will Wynona Ryder be in it, too? But, really, why mess with the original?

Shake, shake, shake senora. Shake your body down.

Why do they always have to go and ruin the reputation of a great single film by turning it into a franchise of sequels, theme park rides and broadway musicals. Leave well enough alone!

Do we forget the cartoon was great too! And I was 7 when it came out. Saw it on Miami Beach. And its ridiculousness of it still holds up.

I can't imagine how Michael Keaton would be considered too old to play someone that looks dead anyway. There's no need to change something that worked. Bring Keaton back.

Agree with poster. You could replace everyone except Keaton. He made the movie!

I loved this movie when I was a kid, but that was a decade ago. Children now a days are going to think this is a joke.

Jennifer Lawrence Details 'Humiliating' & 'Degrading' Nude Line-Up She Was Forced To Do During Early Days Of Her Career

Jennifer Lawrence was grossly humiliated and degraded during the early days of her career.

On Monday, while speaking at Elle's Women in Hollywood event, the Hunger Games alum opened up about the inappropriate hoops industry executives made her jump through when she was just starting out. Specifically, Miz Lawrence discussed one experience where producers told her to "lose 15 pounds in two weeks" and forced her to do "a nude line-up with about five women."

The Oscar winner relayed:
