Danny Elfman Returns For BEETLEJUICE 2 and Says Michael Keaton Won't Look Much Different as His 150 Year Old Character

Beetlejuice 2 is actually going to get made and director Tim Burton will be returning to helm the film! Burton will also be joined by Michael Keaton back as the Ghost with the Most, Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz, Catherine O'Hara as Delia Deetz, and Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) is going to play Lydia’s daughter!

Now, Danny Elfman has confirmed that he’ll also return to the franchise to provide the musical score! This movie is quite the reunion!

During a recent interview with Deadline, Elfman shared his excitement for Beetlejuice 2, saying: "I love being a fly on the wall when he's shooting. I'll be doing that in a couple of months, as you may know, on another Tim Burton project. That is very exciting, to return to that world."

When asked about how Keaton could return to that world, Elfman said: "I said, 'He's not even going to look that much different. That's the beauty of the Beetlejuice makeup. He already looked like he was 150 in the first one.'"

He added, "It's perfect, you know? Everybody else has to play the next generation, except for Michael. I mean, he's still like really fit and really active and really on it. And with the Beetlejuice makeup, I can't even imagine it's going to look like he's changed practically at all. So, I can't wait for that."

That first Beetlejuice movie was so much fun, and I just hope that this sequel will manage to capture the same magic. We’ll find out soon enough.
