It is no secret that Beetlejuice 2 is a long time coming and took a lot of man (or rather woman) power to get going, as in addition to star Michael Keaton and director Tim Burton hatching a plan for the follow-up, star Winona Ryder has revealed she had also been trying to get the movie off of the ground by having secret meetings with Burton.
"There were a lot of times my agents didn’t know that I was meeting up with him," Ryder said in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, revealing she had been secretly working with Burton for years in order to get the sequel greenlit. Burton himself had been storming through numerous concept ideas for the sequel including "Beetlejuice Goes to Outer Space," as he confirmed later in the interview.
