Tim Burton is working on the sequel to Beetlejuice, and despite the strike, he claims that the movie is nearly done.

Burton said, “I feel grateful we got what we got…We know what we have to do. It is 99 percent done.”

Now, Colleen Atwood, who is a costume designer for the sequel, revealed, “Well, you’re gonna see some old friends in the costume world. There’s a real homage to Beetlejuice, the original, and then you’ll see the journey that those people have made in the 30 years since Beetlejuice, it’s been a while. So, it’s a fun process, I think the audience is gonna love it, it’s really fun.”

The cinematographer added, “At its heart Beetlejuice [2] is a story about a family…And now it’s 30 years later and what are the intricacies and the human condition in keeping a family together all that time set in the craziest world possible? That’s why I choose projects. That human connection for me is always at the forefront.”

The movie is set to release on September 6th, 2024 starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Jenna Ortega, and more.
