"Go ahead, make my millennium."
During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Winona Ryder confirmed that a sequel to Beetlejuice is in the works.
Ryder has known about the sequel for some time, but kept the details quiet out of respect for the film's director Tim Burton. Now Tim's let the cat out the bag and publicly confirmed the film's existence, Winona was free to talk about her involvement in the long-awaited sequel.
“It was very hush-hush, top-secret, ‘Oh, I don’t know, it may happen,'” she said during her interview with Seth,” “then he was doing some press for ‘Big Eyes,’ and he did an on-camera interview, and he said, ‘Oh, yeah, we’re doing it, and Winona’s going to be in it.’
Quite what form the sequel will take has yet to be confirmed, with Winona admitting that she's as much in the dark as everyone else. From reports last year, we know the film will take a new approach, one that satisfies Burton and Screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith. The films original star, Michael Keaton, is also on-board and is reportedly very 'excited' by what Seth and Tim have come up with.
Work on the film will begin in earnest later this year, presumably once Burton puts the finishing touches on his adaptation of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
