Beetlejuice 2 Rumors
Tim Burton answered the rumors about a possible sequel to the hit movie, and later Broadway show, Beetlejuice. Johnny Depp could even be on board for the movie. Burton says he is working on ideas. “Nothing is out of the question. I only know if I’m making a film when I’m actually on the set shooting. I try to go back to the root of everything. It springs from a seed and then it grows, rather than out these statements. I am working on ideas and things but it’s all very early days. We’ll set how it goes. How’s that for a non answer?”
Don’t act like you have an idea if you’re just going back to the well.
