John Ary With A Brief Snippet Of Info Re: BEETLEJUICE 2 Via Writer Seth Grahame-Smith!!
John Ary here with an interesting bit on the possible sequel to Beetlejuice. Ain't It Cool News hosted a special screening of Dark Shadows with the screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith fielding questions from the audience afterwards. Most the discussion was of course about his new movie starring Johnny Depp, but one person in the crowd asked about his involvement with Beetlejuice 2. Here's his explanation of the project, who is involved and the minimum requirements all the key players need before it moves forward.

Burton has completely lost his edge Seth Grahame-Smith can't write a story for shit.

"No Michael Keaton, no dice" - AMEN. Michael Keaton IS Beetlejuice.
by IronEagle74
And, of course, there's no reason why Keaton can't play the part since he's in makeup. Age doesn't matter, just as long as he's still physically up for the part.

I've said it before, I'll say it again - I'd watch a sequel if the right parties were involved. So I agree with everything the guy has to say in this video.

did not completely destroy DARK SHADOWS. Seem like a nice guy. Let's hope you do better on BEETLEJUICE. And drop the post modernism pop culture mashups, this time. Fingers crossed, it's all on you, Sir.

Burton's next film is a remake of his own work, and now he's going to start pointless sequels; I imagine MARS ATTACKS 2 is right around the corner.
-
I don't know if he's talented or not but he sure seems to have made an impression on Tim Burton.
-
..............I got nothin'.

Sounds like he wants to pass due to fear of failure. Crack that concept motherfucker! And don't make us doubt you.

How many sequels have been made 20+ years after the original?
by elsewhere
And been worthy follow-ups? I'm drawing a blank. I think it's best to leave Beetlejuice well enough alone. No way they could come close to capturing that magic again.

...Eben if it was just fx.

The only way I'll ever be excited for a Beetlejuice sequel is...
by Trevor
...if it coincides with a boxset release of the entire animated series. Other than that, to quote Kevin Smith, "Didn't we say enough with the first Beetlejuice?"

Seth Grahame-Smith was the reason Dark Shadow was such a mess
by Dharma4
I liked the movie, but cannot defend it's messy and horrible script. -Namaste-
-
-Namaste-
-
...and it HAS to start with Betelguese in the queue with his head still shrunken and his ticket number finally coming up!
-
Keaton will do it. Tim Burton of 2012 isn't same Tim Burton who made Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands, so fuck him. I just hope they get Winona Ryder for more than a extended cameo at the end.

Rocky Balboa and Rambo

What is the gross, fat easter egg on the right of the screen?
by ScriptCunt
Ohhhhh....
-
Have always thought Beetlejuice was extremely overrated in fact I thought it was awful. so definitely not interested. Wont ever be interested in Burton he's just absolutely boring, his films are all the same. He's only made a couple of good films, Ed Wood, Big Fish and Batman.

I hope along with Beetlejuice they include Eric the Midget, Bigfoot and Elephant Boy

OK, so where is Hollywood finding these writers? This Guy Seth wrote episodes for a TV show and now he's hot shit (Dark Shadows was AWFUL) - but is this a trend? Look at the 2 guys who Ridley Scott hired for Prometheus; John Spaihts - He wrote Darkest Hour - That's It... That's all he ever did (Darkest Hour SUCKED) and Damon Lindelof, who holds the record for writing the most "Lost" episodes. So these youngbloods get to write screenplays for movie franchises that already exist. New BeetleJuice? Sure - But what makes this guy Seth worthy of ruining it (And unfortunately, I think he will).
-
I agree. This guy can barely string a sentence together, has no real track record to speak of and we're supposed to be impressed by him? Who's his uncle, Barry Meyer? (Everytime I see Damon Lindelhof I think of Tobias Funke from 'Arrested Development', but that's my own predjudice.)
-
Dang. sorry I am a meanie, but jesus.
-
But it would be nice to see Michael Keaton starring in a movie again. Other than, you know, lending his voice to Pixar movies.
-
...that is probably the most brilliant way to start the movie. Why aren't you writing it?

It should start with him waiting 24 years for his ticket # to come up...
by Ricardo
... and when it's about to come up... it skips to the next.

I mean, yeah... nice production design in some instances, but apart from that... what... a... hack. Hugely overrated.

I mean, seriously, bro. We had to endure months and months and months of whining and pissing and moaning on how excruciating and physically fucking dehumanizing your rehab and physocal therapy was, not to mention a few years ago all the blah blah blah about the stomach staples or gastric bypass or whichever procedure you had that fat people have when they're too lazy to exercise or eat healthy in order to lose the weight. Only to see you getting bigger and bigger. Either actually do the shit that you claim to do at the level you claim to do it, or stop posting photos and video of yourself that prove you aren't. And quit interrupting the fucking guy that you're supposed to be interviewing with your not at all funny little quips. The purpose of an interview is to stoke a flow of rhetoric out of the party that people are actually interested in listening to. A good interviewer is invisible and silent. I really hope that you do someday actually start exercising so that you can enjoy little things in life that we all take for granted like walking. If it were me, I'd have been out of that chair as soon as humanly possible, but you seem pretty content with it.

I don't know how we're supposed to trust him with this. That's cool he holds the movie sacred (I don't) and doesn't *want" to mess it up and do a "Son of Mask", but damn... I'll echo some other TBers: What has he done that would make any of us think he can actually pull this off?
-
Is that an actual shirt or is it one of those Green Lantern CGI add on jobs?

Harry I had a good friend who ate himself to death. Don't go down that path. (I'm being serious. My friend died because he ate too much and unhealthy food at that.) Part of growing up is learning to control yourself. The tounge is the most difficult muscl

muscle to control - it can make you speak bad things and also a pallet out of check allows you to indulge in sense overload and become gluttonous.

Swimming is a good exercise that overweight people can start doing and it works very well and is fun.

He has to go hell to save Winona Rider's soul--I think that a sequel would do well to go to into the various world's that Beetlejuice has access to--let us visit his world. I think it might be good to kind of go all Dante-esque with it--I have a bunch of ideas--so if you want a few really cool scenes that have never, ever been done--but would be absolutely amazing--look me up--I'd be happy to share!

I know you get HBO. I know you've seen it. YOU are who they are talking about, Harry. I've been here for all your medical stories, weight gain/loss/hospital multi-part articles. We've always known you were obese but the wheel chair? You're 40 and according to some reports permanently confined to that wheel chair. I'm torn on how much criticism I want to throw at you, because I know about your injury in 1996 with the one ton cart rolling over you, injuring your spine and inadvertently leading to aintitcoolnews. I've also heard about your lap band surgery and physical therapy restoring feeling to your feet and legs after 15 years without sensation. But man, even with those problems the weight gain is a whole other issue (and has given you type-2 diabetes). I don't want to hate on you. That doesn't help. But I will say I pity you. Whether you've got physical ailments or you were born to genetically gain weight faster than most people, there are ways to control those problems and get a hold of your body and your health. It takes hard work and discipline. It's not too late for you to reverse your problems, Harry, but you have to admit you have a problem and devote yourself to fixing it. Cut out whatever foods are making you fat. Enroll in exercise programs for the disabled. Whatever you do, do SOMETHING or else your children will lose their father before he is 60.
