Sure issues are finest left on their very own, and that, for me, is one among them.”

When requested if he sees one other collaboration with Depp, Burton replied, “Properly, I’m positive there shall be.”

(The movie at present has a 76% “recent” ranking on Rotten Tomatoes and acquired a “B+” CinemaScore.)

In an interview with Selection, Burton spoke about revisiting the world of “Beetlejuice” for the sequel. “It’s not like ‘Massive Fish,’ however I don’t assume I may have accomplished this earlier as a result of, initially, I had no concept to do a sequel — once more, that is earlier than the time the place these issues had been talked about. However to revisit it now was good, as a result of Lydia was a personality that I at all times felt strongly about,” he stated. “What occurs to folks 35 years later? The place do they go? What’s their journey? And what occurred to the Deetz household? This sense about it was fairly easy for me and emotional. That grew to become the anchor of the place it goes from there. If you go from being a cool teenager to an grownup, what journey do you are taking?”

Burton continued, “After which with all these folks I really like working with — Michael Keaton and Catherine O’Hara and Winona Ryder — it was simply very unusual however stunning. And with the brand new solid, it felt emotional however it additionally felt new. And I didn’t watch the unique once more, principally as a result of I by no means knew why it was profitable to start with. So I simply handled it as one thing that I couldn’t take into consideration something greater than that. Simply dive in and do it shortly — like we did up to now.”
