Michael Keaton Says ‘Beetlejuice 2′ Is ‘Most Fun I’ve Had Working in a Movie’ in a Long Time

Michael Keaton is ecstatic to be reprising his classic character in Beetlejuice 2. While out at Empire’s VIP event on Saturday, the actor gushed over just how amped he is to be back at it as the mischievous ghost and “bio-exorcist.” “Beetlejuice is the most f—in’ fun you can have working. It’s so fun, it’s so great. And you know what it is? We’re doing it exactly like we did the first movie,” Keaton, 71, said of the 1998 original, directed by Tim Burton, who is also back for the second installment. “[Burton] and I were talking about it years and years ago, never telling anybody. We’ve both said we’re doing it many times. We both agreed, if it happens, it has to be done as close to the way we made it the first time. Making stuff up, making stuff happen, improvising and riffing, but literally handmade stuff like people creating things with their hands and building something.”
“F—in’ great,” he added. “It’s the most fun I’ve had working on a movie in I can’t tell you how long.” Saturday’s event featured an advanced screening of The Flash, where Keaton reprises another iconic role — his wildly popular version of Batman from 1989’s title film, which was also screened.
