Beetlejuice 2: Will Tim Burton Direct Sequel?

Beetlejuice2_TimBurton_2013Tim Burton is mulling a return to the world of his 1988 classic Beetlejuice.

Sources say that Burton has the offer from Warner Bros. to direct the movie, on which he is already a producer with David Geffen.

But insiders say that Burton has yet to read the latest draft of the script, which is by Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg. (Grahame-Smith penned the scripts for Burton’s Dark Shadows and the Burton-produced Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, based on his own novel.)

The involvement of Michael Keaton, who played the titular ghost, is up in the air at this stage.
