00:0036 years since the first Beetlejuice. Why now?
00:04Well, because the Lydia character interests me. You know, going older is where you start
00:09thinking about what happens to you. You start as a cool teenager, and what happens in life?
00:14Relationships. Do you have kids? What are they like? What are you like? How do you change?
00:20So these are all things that I know and experience, so it felt more right to make this now rather
00:25than back in like 1989.
00:27Will there be a Beetlejuice 3?
00:29Well, if the time frame goes along, I'll be about 100, so maybe. I doubt it.
