Yesterday we learned that the long-gestating Beetlejuice 2 is closer than ever before to actually happening, and today Tim Burton has spilled some more tasty tidbits about the return of the so-called “ghost with the most.” Read on for the latest!
In an interview with MTV, Burton confirmed that he will be directing the upcoming sequel, which is not quite the main piece of news we’re here to share today. After all, it was pretty much a given that Burton would be in the director’s chair, wasn’t it?

No, the more exciting morsel on tap for you today is that Winona Ryder is set to star in Beetlejuice 2 alongside Micheal Keaton, reprising her beloved role from the 1988 classic.
“Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah,” Burton replied, when asked if Ryder was on board. “Oh yeah, oh yeah. Yeah yeah, oh yeah.”
Ryder had previously expressed her interest in playing Lydia Deetz once more, and we’re very happy to hear that she’ll be doing just that.
No word yet on plot details, though last we heard the film was going to be a direct sequel, set approximately 30 years after the events of the original.
