Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice… there’s no way we’re going to saying it a third time! Well not in a row anyway. Rumours have it the creepy character could be making a return to the big screen.

Apparently Winona Ryder, who starred as Lydia Deetz in the original film, is in talks with director Tim Burton about a sequel.

Tim Burton directed the original 1988 film starring Michael Keaton.

The 40 year old actress, who hasn’t starred in a film since we can remember, told MTV News: “You tell me – I don’t know! I’ve heard from journalists, that’s how I found out, but I’m seeing Tim next week, and I will let you know.”

While it is yet to be confirmed a script is currently being worked on by Seth Grahame-Smith. But it will have to be good for Burton to go forward with it.

He said: “If it was interesting. Although, I don’t know if I would ever know a good script if it bit me in the face. But, I know what I like, so we’ll see.”

Here is Michael Keaton playing the eerie character.

The original stars Michael Keaton as a ‘bio-exorcist’ that haunts people on behalf of ghosts. Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin co-star.
