You can say Beetlejuice as many times as you want, but a sequel might never appear. In an interview with Variety, Beetlejuice star Michael Keaton said he knows “zero” about rumored plans for a follow-up film.

“You always hear things, that this is happening, and people seem to know more about it than I do,” he said, adding, “It’s possible that ship has sailed." Keaton did go on to say that in order to work, a sequel would need to have all the key elements of the first film—both unpredictability and carefully crafted moments.

“So much of it was improvised, and so much was beautifully handmade by the artist that is Tim Burton,” the Oscar nominee continued. “If you can’t get close to that, you leave it alone.”

Rumors about a potential sequel have been swirling for years, but fans really went into overdrive when Winona Ryder, a.k.a. Lydia Deetz, said that a sequel was indeed happening. “I think I can confirm it,” she told Seth Meyers in a Late Night interview last year, though she also cautioned that she didn’t know any further details.

Burton, who directed the original, later clarified that nothing was really in the works in an interview with Collider.

“I have talked to Michael and I have talked to Winona, I’ve talked to a few people,” he said. “It’s something that I really would like to do in the right circumstances, but it’s one of those films where it has to be right. It’s not a kind of a movie that cries out [for a sequel]. . . . But there’s nothing concrete yet.”
