Burton told The Independent that Beetlejuice 2, which is currently scheduled to release theatrically in September 2024, had less than two days left of filming to finish when the SAG-AFTRA strike began.

“I feel grateful we got what we got,” Burton said. “Literally, it was a day and a half. We know what we have to do. It is 99 percent done.” 

Here is what we know about Beetlejuice 2:

Director Tim Burton and Warner Bros have long discussed making a sequel to the 1988 horror comedy starring Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, but the project didn’t start breaking major ground until 2022. Little is known about the plot at this time; however, it was previously announced Keaton, Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara are all reprising their roles from the first film. They’ll be joined by newcomers Jenna Ortega, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, and Willem Dafoe.

Burton is once again directing the movie, which is based on a story by Seth Grahame-Smith and features a screenplay by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.

“Beetlejuice 2, I really enjoyed it,” Burton said. “I tried to strip everything and go back to the basics of working with good people and actors and puppets. It was kind of like going back to why I liked making movies.”

Beetlejuice 2 is currently scheduled to release theatrically in the United States on September 6, 2024.

From Disney and director Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Batman), the all-new grand live-action adventure Dumbo expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.

Directed by Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger (Ophelia, Dream House), and produced by Justin Springer (TRON: Legacy), Kruger, Katterli Frauenfelder (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, Big Eyes) and Derek Frey (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, Frankenweenie),

Dumbo flies into theaters on March 29, 2019.
