Edit: Might not be happening after all:

http://www.showbizspy.com/movies/beetlejuice-part-2-rumors-confirmed-tim-burton/

UPDATE – A rep has gotten in contact with us and stated “Tim Burton did not confirm Beetlejuice 2 as the movie is not in development. Tim’s focus is entirely on Miss Preegrine’s Home For Peculiar Children set for a September 30 2016 release and developing Dumbo“. That is all fine and we complied with the reps request to post their comment, however we did not say it was in development. We would also like to note that Warner Bros. hired writers David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith to work on a sequel, and over the past year, both Ryder and Keaton have confirmed their participation according to Variety. So, it would seem there is something fishy going on here.

Tim Burton confirmed it:

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. We have the script in hand everything is in place all we need to do now is get ready to start filming.

Tentatively great news...hope Burton still has that particular style of weirdness intact. Please try and keep Depp and Helena Bonham Carter out of it...

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Burton's recent output doesn't instil much confidence...

 

[DrSlek]

No...just...just leave it be.

We all know Depp and Bonham Carter will be in this. Don't delude yourself.

Urghhhhhhhh

Fuck Bonham Carter, she turns me off every movie she is in for some reason. Depp is ok in character roles outside disney and Burton.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

Already better than Ghostbuster, but please limit your digital effects... Please.

 

[obin_gam]

 

[Officerrob]

This is a bad idea

 

[Banjotanooki]

Burton and Bonham Carter aren't together anymore though...

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Nice fucking model!

 

[Transistor]

Nice fucking model!

<<honk honk>>

 

[Axial]

Wonder if they'll go the Hawaiian route?

 

[darkwing-buck]

Hmm skeptical on whether burton can still make a good film but keaton signing on has me interested.

 

[Caddywompus]

When I saw a commercial for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 it got me thinking that taking a significant period of time off could benefit a sequel instead of sacrificing quality to rush a film out while it's at its peak popularity. Are there any successful sequels with massive time off that aren't franchises or reboots?

 

[RangerX]

I have absolute faith in Keaton but Burton has been complete shit for years so I'm not that hopeful.

The Color of Money? Aliens (wasn't a franchise at the time)?

 

[dity]

I haven't enjoyed Burton's recent stuff very much, so this doesn't bode well to me.

 

[Acorn]

Burton and Bonham Carter aren't together anymore though...

Still live in the same joined houses. They slept in diff houses even when 'together'
Edit this movie is sadly made for her b.s. A kooky Victorian ghost book it.

 

[Saya]

Will watch for Keaton alone, don't care who joins the cast. The guy is hilarious.

Terminator 2 might count seeing as how cameron wanted it to end there.

 

[pitchfork]

Beetledeuce?

 

[Finaika]

Big Eyes was good.

 

[bob_arctor]

But it did end there, and that's a good thing. Any movie made after the perfection of the first two would just sully the franchise. Same thing happened with Alien and Aliens.

 

[The Boat]

I smiled but then I remembered that Tim Burton sucks balls nowadays.

Fcuk yeah.

Alien to Aliens: 7 years.
The Terminator to Terminator 2: 7 years.
2001 to 2010: 16 years.
Tron to Tron Legacy: 28 years.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

It's showtime.

 

[Poona]

Great news. It's a great role for Michael Keaton as well as due to the makeup he wears you won't really be able to tell he has aged.

 

[jelly]

I haven't seen Winona Ryder in years, when she shop lifted or Girl Interrupted.

Yeah, Tim Burton absolutely sucks now but apparently that Alice film made stupid amounts of money so I guess WB feel it's worth giving him more.

 

[Woody Invincible]

Without a doubt, Depp and Carter will be co-starring.

 

[botty]

Super cool. Michael Keaton is becoming A list again... It's so crazy to see

I can't imagine this movie without Catherine O Hara for some reason

 

[AniHawk]

Big Eyes was good.

i thought it was an unnecessary and confusing sequel to big fish.

 

[KRod-57]

what happens if they make a third Beetlejuice movie?

 

[Ahasverus]

Yessssss do it do iiiit.

Wynona is one the most hauntingly beautiful women, so glad to see her back. Beetlejuice is the goat Burton movie.

 

[mclem]

We all know Depp and Bonham Carter will be in this. Don't delude yourself.

Probably playing villains, with Beetlejuice shifting into a more heroic misanthrope.

Jeff Winger walks along the back of shot.

 

[CLEEK]

2001 to 2010: 16 years

That's 9 years you dummy.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

My son wanted to rewatch it the other night after seeing it for the first time around Halloween. He just turned 6.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Burton and Bonham Carter aren't together anymore though...

Aw, that sucks. I like seeing her in everything he does.

 

[Death Metalist]

I don't know how to feel about this. Excited but at the same time we'll see, the first one is a damn classic.

 

[andythinkpad]

Alien to Aliens: 7 years.
The Terminator to Terminator 2: 7 years.
2001 to 2010: 16 years.
Tron to Tron Legacy: 28 years.

These examples only show Cameron is god of sequels and everything else is shit.

The only bad thing is you waste a bit of money on a movie ticket.

I view reboots and reignitions as an opportunity to collect the merchandise and material from the originals that will no doubt flood the market.

That's definitely a great way of looking at it.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Im expecting a ton of cg and them trying to be over the top surreal.

Even morso that alice in wonderland - ugh

 

[nillah]

Shit... Give me a Beetlejuice 3 and four fuck off with the sequel

 

[nasax]

If it's anything like any of Tim Burton's recent movies, I'm skipping this.

 

[Ooccoo]

Beetlejuice 2 and a Ghostbuster remake, what more could you wish for?

Spoiler

kill me

 

[thenexus6]

I at least hope the film starts with Beetlejuice in the waiting room and his number is finally called

 

[Skiptastic]

Alien to Aliens: 7 years.
The Terminator to Terminator 2: 7 years.
2001 to 2010: 16 years.

The Hustler to The Color of Money - 25 years

 

[mclem]

2001 to 2010: 16 years.

Well that's mathematically confusing.
