'Beetlejuice 2' Cast News: Winona Ryder Confirms Her Involvement In Sequel
We received word of a sequel to the classic '90s film 'Beetlejuice' from actor Michael Keaton and director Tim Burton, however since then we haven't heard much from either party on the project.
In a previous interview, Keaton did reveal that actress Winona Ryder was set to reprise her role in the movie, but she has yet to confirm the news up until Monday night on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers.'
"I think I can confirm it because Tim Burton did this interview," she said. "It was very hush-hush, top secret, 'I don't know what may happen, I don't know,' and then he was doing some press for 'Big Eyes' and he did an on-camera interview and he said, 'Oh yeah, we're doing it and Winona's gonna be in it.' So can I say...? I mean if he said it. But I really don't know much more than anybody else."
She previously stated that the project wouldn't be a remake in an interview.
"It's not a remake. It's 27 years later. And I have to say, I love Lydia [Deetz, Ryder's teenage goth character] so much. She was such a huge part of me. I would be really interested in what she is doing 27 years later."
While promoting 'Big Eyes' last year, Burton had this to say about the character and project:
"It's a character that I love and I miss and I miss actually working with Michael. There's only one Betelgeuse. We're working on a script and I think it's probably closer than ever and I'd love to work with him again.
"I worked with [Ryder], I hadn't seen her in awhile... and she was so great. I was so happy to see her. So those kinds of elements mean something to me. Michael, and her... and that character, I just miss it, there's some freedom about that character that I love."
