Merrick here...
ShockTillYouDrop met up with author Seth Grahame-Smith, whose Tim Burton Produced ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER book-to-screen adaptation just got trailered (see it HERE), and talked to him about another project he's working on with Tim Burton.
Namely: a BEETLEJUICE sequel. Grahame-Smith describes his recent meeting with Michael Keaton, who we'd previously heard would (likely) reprise his 1988 Beetlejuice role in this new picture.
"We talked for a couple of hours and talked about big picture stuff. It's a priority for Warner Bros. It's a priority for Tim."
[EDIT]
Grahame-Smith describes Keaton's interest as...
"Huge," the writer added, "he's been wanting to do it for 20 years and he'll talk to anybody about it who will listen."
There's more insight about Grahame-Smith's meeting with Keaton HERE, as well as some sense of the author's reverence for the original source material.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER and DARK SHADOWS, both of which Grahame-Smith scripted for Burton, will arrive in theaters this Summer.
