For years now, there have been constant rumors circulating around the possibility of a sequel to Tim Burton’s 1988 dark comedy classic Beetlejuice. Beginning in 2015, the story was that the main three—Burton, Michael Keaton, and Winona Ryder—were all up to returning for a second go ‘round into the afterlife. However, the most recent news was that Warner Bros. had re-shelved the idea with no plans for it in the near future.

So either someone forgot to tell Keaton, or he has plans all his own.

In a recent interview with Irish-based entertainment news blog JOE, iconic film composer Danny Elfman—Burton’s go-to music man—was asked if Burton had contacted him about the project, and that lead to Keaton.

“No, you know, oddly, he has not mentioned it to me. The last… a year ago, I saw Michael Keaton, and he mentioned ‘So, we’re doing Beetlejuice 2?’, and I said ‘Well, you’d know more than I do.’ And I’ve heard nothing about it since.”

When asked if it was possible that Burton is working on it and has yet to inform him, Elfman agreed:

“Yeah, projects will be in development for quite a long time. So I think it is something that has been in development for a few years, but I don’t know where it is in that process. I’m always the last one to hear, believe me… Often, I’ll hear about whatever movie Tim is doing, it is kinda funny, because he’ll call me and he’ll say ‘Danny, I’m doing such and such a film, would you like to come on board?’, and I’ll already have read about it in Variety two weeks earlier. So I’m not the first one to hear about things, let me put it that way.”

Will Burton, Keaton, and Ryder bring back our favorite sand worm-hating bio-exorcist and his reluctant bride-to-be? Stay tuned…
