<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Michael Keaton</a> said he’s been having a blast working on the “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies">Beetlejuice</a>” sequel and that, as promised, it’s not going to be filled with CGI-heavy special effects.
“It’s the most fun I’ve had on a set in a long time. On one hand, you’d go, ‘Well, of course it’s the most fun. It looks like fun.’ As you know, it doesn’t always work like that,” the 72-year-old actor told <a href="https://people.com/michael-keaton-teases-beetlejuice-sequel-enormous-fun-exclusive-8584898">People</a> about working with director <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-burton">Tim Burton</a> again. 
“The one thing that [Burton] and I decided on early, early, early on from the beginning, if we ever did it again, I was totally not interested in doing something where there was too much technology. It had to feel handmade. It’s the most exciting thing. When you get to do that again after years of standing in front of a giant screen, pretending somebody’s across the way from you, this is just enormous fun,” he added.
The actor, who plays the titular character in both the original and the sequel, stressed that the realness of the movie is what makes it great.
“What made it fun was watching somebody in the corner actually holding something up for you, to watch everybody in the shrunken head room and say, ‘Those are people under there, operating these things, trying to get it right,’” Keaton said.

He told the outlet that they’d tossed around the idea of doing a sequel to the 1988 fantasy horror comedy many times, but it never worked out until now.
“We thought, ‘You got to get this right. Otherwise, just don’t do it. Let’s just go on with our lives and do other things,’” Keaton said. “So I was hesitant and cautious, and he was probably equally as hesitant and cautious over all these years. Once we got there, I said, ‘OK, let’s just go for it. Let’s just see if we can do it, if we can pull this off.’”
The sequel, called “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” is scheduled to hit theaters on September 6, 2024.
