I like the idea of this sequel with both Keaton and Ryder updating their original characters. Whether it was the time or not, Beetlejuice is one of those films that seems to have had a perfect cast and any remake wouldn't be much good when the original is still holding up. So as long as the sequel isn't a remake in disguise, adding Ortega sounds good. They should also bring back O'Hara, who is always a scene stealer. Baldwin can stay on the ranch.

You may not see Jeffrey Jones return, considering his legal issues. Looks like he's only done 1 movie over the past 10 years, and instead has done mostly theater.

I'm sure there is his side to the story, but Jones crossed a line that people don't get to come back from as a general rule. It was, and still is, a career destroyer.

Returning to both Batman and Beetlejuice so long after the originals, Keaton is proving you can go home again. Now, where's "Johnny Dangerously 2" at?
And I will say that even though I've never been a big Indiana Jones fan, I got a little bit of a tingle seeing the full trailer for the new one of those at the theater yesterday before seeing GOTG 3 (which was terrific.)

Saw an article on line that with both Indiana Jones and Michael Keaton returning as Batman, they feel as if we are reliving the summer of 1989, which I remember well. Someone commented that all you need now is Timothy Dalton to return as James Bond. He's now on TV with Harrison Ford in 1923, playing the villain.
