BEETLEJUICE 2 Script Being Written By WEDNESDAY and SMALLVILLE Creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar

It was recently confirmed in a report from Deadline that the script for Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice 2 is being written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The two writers are best known for creating the hit Netflix series Wednesday and the classic DC Superman series Smallville.

It makes perfect sense that they would be involved as they had a great working relationship with Burton while developing the first season of Wednesday. Gough and Millar do great work and the fact that they’re involved gives me confidence that the script is going to be solid.

Michael Keaton is returning to play the Ghost with the Most and joining him will be Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz, Catherine O'Hara as Delia Deetz, and Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) is going to play Lydia’s daughter.

I’m really curious to see what the story for this sequel will be, but when talking about the return of Keaton in the role, composer Danny Elfman said: “He's not even going to look that much different. That's the beauty of the Beetlejuice makeup. He already looked like he was 150 in the first one.'"

He added, "It's perfect, you know? Everybody else has to play the next generation, except for Michael. I mean, he's still like really fit and really active and really on it. And with the Beetlejuice makeup, I can't even imagine it's going to look like he's changed practically at all. So, I can't wait for that."

What do you think about Gough and Millar writing the script for Beetlejuice 2? Do you think they will be able to capture the tone and the spirit of the original film?
