I have offen thought about writing a sequel to this beloved movie. Just an idea/spec-script, for my own amusements. I am a sceenwriter, but would love to give it over to someone with more experence.
Michael Keaten is an extremely underrated actor today. Many seem to agree. He needs something like this to bounce back. Forget anything tide to the first one. Don't relate to it at all, other than what we already know of the character. Maybe, an origin story? However, many children of today don't know who beetlejuice is. Isn't that sad? Make another film that is now about Beetlejuice, the character, and shy away from thinking, "sequel". A whole knew gothic adventure with the ghost with the most. And, much more screentime for Keaton. Bring him to a new audience, and allow Keaton to open up the character more. Jack Sparrow is to Depp, as Beetlejuice should be to Keaton. Lets get on board!
