10 Movie Sequels That Better Happen In 2018
8. Beetlejuice 2
As time goes by, we become less convinced of Tim Burton's ability to deliver a fan-pleasing sequel to his supernatural classic Beetlejuice, no matter how many times we speak the protagonist's name aloud in quick succession.
The Ghost With the Most's 1988 debut struck a balance between bizarreness, comedy and horror, catapulting Michael Keaton to stardom in the process.
Keaton has expressed eagerness to one day revisit the role and an unproduced sequel titled Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian got as far as the scripting stage.
It wasn't quite as dumb as it sounds, following the eponymous spook on a mission to save the Deetz family's necks after they move to a house in Hawaii which was built on top of an old Indian burial ground.
Nevertheless, it's probably for the best that this idea never came to fruition, but serious talk of fresh sequel plans have been batted around Hollywood since 2012.
Writer Seth Grahame-Smith was hired to pen a screenplay for the project a few years back, so hopefully Burton will have this one lined up to enter production after his weird Dumbo remake has been wrapped up.
