I’m not really a Tim Burton fan at all. However, even I have to admit that he’s done one or two things that I’ve enjoyed… and one of those things was the original Beetlejuice with Michael Keaton.
For some time now there has been rumblings about the possibility of a sequel to the film. I usually get turned off by talks of sequels to movies that weren’t meant to be franchises… but for some reason I get pretty interested in any Beetlejuice 2 talk. Now, the folks over at MovieHole give us some of Michael Keaton’s thoughts on the potential for a B2:
“It would have to have Tim at least in a supervisory capacity. Heck, I’d settle for just having Tim to hang out”, Keaton tells The Houston Chronicle. “He’s 100 percent original, and who else can you say that about?”. The former Caped Crusader has been semi-attached to a “Beetlejuice” sequel for years, with the title “Beetlejuice goes Hawaiian” being branded about at one point between 1990 and 2005. Yup, a long-gestating idea.
As much as I’d hate to say this (because I actually really like Keaton) I have to take his “interest” in doing a Beetlejuice 2 project with a grain of salt. Why? Well… because Keaton’s career hasn’t exactly been soaring of late… and I’d be interested in any project too that would have me as the leading guy. Am I just being cynical?
