A Tim Burton Classic Returns
In case you've been living under a rock (or maybe you're just new to this ghostly world), Beetlejuice is a 1988 classic directed by the master of quirk himself, Tim Burton. The film follows the ghostly couple, Barbara and Adam Maitland, who enlist the help of the obnoxious bio-exorcist, Beetlejuice, to scare away the new living family in their house. With its unique blend of horror, comedy, and gothic charm, it's no surprise that fans have been clamoring for a sequel for decades.
The Long-Awaited Sequel: Beetlejuice 2
Rumors of a Beetlejuice 2 have been swirling since the late 90s, but it wasn't until 2011 that things started to get serious. Tim Burton himself confirmed that he was working on a script with Seth Grahame-Smith (who later went on to write the screenplay for Dark Shadows and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies). The plan was to bring back the original cast, including Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice, Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin as the Maitlands, and Winona Ryder as the goth teen, Lydia.
A New Take on an Old Favorite
So, what could we expect from Beetlejuice 2 in 2018?
Well, Grahame-Smith hinted that the sequel would be a continuation of the original, rather than a remake. He said, "It's not Beetlejuice: The Exorcist. It's Beetlejuice, the ghost with the most, coming back to scare up some more laughs and scares." The story would follow Beetlejuice as he tries to help the Maitlands deal with a new problem in the afterlife, with Lydia getting involved in the chaos, of course.
The 2018 Release Date: Confirmed or Cancelled?
For a while, it seemed like Beetlejuice 2 was finally happening. Warner Bros. even set a release date of September 27, 2018. But as the years passed, the cast and crew remained tight-lipped, and the release date came and went with no sign of our favorite ghostly prankster.
Sadly, it seems that Beetlejuice 2 has been put on hold, if not cancelled entirely. Tim Burton has since moved on to other projects, and while Michael Keaton has expressed interest in reprising his role, there's been no official word from the studio.
Why the Delay? The Curse of Beetlejuice 2
So, what's the deal with Beetlejuice 2? Why the constant delays and rumors, but no actual movie? Some fans believe that the film is cursed, pointing to the numerous setbacks and false starts. Others suggest that the studio is struggling to find a way to capture the magic of the original while appealing to modern audiences.
Whatever the reason, it's clear that Beetlejuice 2 is a hotly anticipated film that's been a long time coming. Here's hoping that, one day, we'll finally get to see Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice on the big screen once more.
