"Michael Keaton is so great, and I'm sure he'd just strangely tap right back into it. I always think about how fun that character was, so I told him to try some stuff. In the past, I tried some things, but that was way back when. He seemed really excited about it. He hasn't come back to me yet though."Watch this space for more Beetlejuice, and book your seat for Dark Shadows, which is out in the UK on May 11.
