1988 Called....Beetlejuice is Getting A Sequel...23 Years Later - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

KatzSmith Productions partners David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith have just signed a two-year first-look feature producing deal at Warner Bros. While rights are still being worked out, one of their first projects is expected to be a sequel to Beetlejuice, the 1988 Tim Burton-directed hit that starred Michael Keaton as a ghoul hired by a recently deceased couple to drive the new owners out of their house. Burton and Keaton made the movie while they were working on the studio’s first Batman film, which was released the following year. Beetlejuice also starred Alec Baldwin, Winona Ryder and Geena Davis. The film will not be a remake; the intention is to reboot it by advancing the storyline of the original, which was done by The Geffen Company and Warner Bros.

OK, Hollywood, and the point is...?

For me, a more important question is who's David Katzenberg?

On the plus side I think the entire original cast is available to reprise their roles since none of them (except Alex Baldwin) seem to be doing anything else these days.

I have commented on this subject on other sites and I will say it now that I think it would be awesome to see another Beetlejuice movie with all the original cast back again. The only thing is that I would want to see a good plausible backstory in how they would bring " The ghost with the most" back again seeing as he was killed by a Sandworm in the previous film.
