Michael Keaton has confirmed that he is in talks with director Tim Burton about returning for Beetlejuice 2.

Burton was reported to be in negotiations to direct a Beetlejuice sequel in October 2013, with Keaton also tipped to reprise the title role.



Keaton has now revealed to MTV News that he is in fact discussing the project with Burton.

"I've e-mailed Tim a couple of times, talked to the writer a couple of times, but all really, really preliminary stuff," he explained.

The star continued: "I always said that's the one thing I'd like to do again, if I ever did anything again. But it kind of required Tim to be involved in some way or another."

Keaton added that he is confident that Burton's involvement will be confirmed in the foreseeable future.



"It looks like [Burton] is involved," Keaton said. "And without giving too much away, we've talked to each other, and e-mailed each other, and if he's in, it's going to be hard not to be in."

Beetlejuice star Winona Ryder also hinted that she would join the sequel months ago, but declined to offer any specifics.

Seth Grahame-Smith is currently working on the script for Beetlejuice 2.
