“I only know if I’m making a film when I’m actually on the set shooting. I try to go back to the root of everything. It springs from a seed and then it grows, rather than out of these statements,” Burton offered. “I am working on ideas and things but it’s all very early days. We’ll set how it goes. How’s that for a none answer?”
Will Beetlejuice 2 Even Happen?
Composer Danny Elfman had his doubts while speaking to Comicbook.com this year. “I have no idea. I hear rumors just like you’ve heard,” Elfman began. “I ran into Michael Keaton somewhere about seven years ago and he goes, ‘So we’re doing Beetlejuice 2,’ And I go, ‘Are we?’… And then I didn’t hear anything about it again. So I’m from the, I’ll believe it when I see it camp, but I know that it’s been talked about for quite a while.”
Back in 2019, the composer said some similar comments. Elfman would add that he’s usually the last one to know about this things. Composers are traditionally a late in the game addition, especially with the resume he’s put together over he course of his career.
“Projects will be in development for quite a long time.” Elfman elaborated. “So I think it is something that has been in development for a few years, but I don’t know where it is in that process. I’m always the last one to hear, believe me. Often, I’ll hear about whatever movie Tim is doing, it is kinda funny, because he’ll call me and he’ll say ‘Danny, I’m doing such and such a film, would you like to come on board?’, and I’ll already have read about it in Variety two weeks earlier. So I’m not the first one to hear about things, let me put it that way.”
