Michael Keaton Says He Wanted ‘Beetlejuice’ Sequel to “Feel Handmade”

In a recent interview with People magazine, the actor who portrays the rambunctious spirit revealed that he and director Tim Burton were “hesitant and cautious” about making a sequel for the classic but ended up having so much fun working on it. Sources previously told The Hollywood Reporte r that the Ortega plays the daughter of Ryder’s Lydia, while Dafoe portrays an afterlife law enforcement officer, and Bellucci takes on the role of Beetlejuice’s wife.
