This film is a sequel to the 1988 original film and sees Tim Burton returning as director along with Michael Keaton as the titular character and Winona Ryder & Catherine O’Hera returning to their respective roles. Joining the cast is Justin Theroux, Jenna Ortega, Monica Belluci & William Defoe. In this film, after a family tragedy, Lydia Deetz, her art eccentric stepmother and her estranged daughter return to their hometown of Winter River, but when an old “friend” finds out of her return, the chaos of the after life begins and shows no sign of stopping. Burton & Warner Bros. were anxious to do another film but after the success Burton’s 2 “Batman” films and several different scripts having to be rewritten, the idea of sequel seemed more like a dream. After years of development hell, Warner Bros. shelved any idea of a sequel unless they and Burton could find a worthy script which didn’t come along until 2022 when Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B, penned a script and thus pre production began.
