" Michael Keaton is still receiving critical acclaim for his performance in Birdman and may be on his way to an Oscar. What&amp;#039;s next? Perhaps a reprisal of one his earlier dark comedy roles as the title character in Beetlejuice. Speaking to in support of his new film Big Eyes, Beetlejuice director Tim Burton said that a sequel to his 1988 comedy is &amp;quot;closer than ever.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s only one Beetlejuice, and that&amp;#039;s Michael. There is a script, and I would love to work with him again. I think there is now a better chance than ever\u2026 I miss that character. There&amp;#039;s something that&amp;#039;s cathartic and amazing about it. I think it&amp;#039;s closer than ever.&amp;quot; Keaton&amp;#039;s Beetlejuice co-star Winona Ryder also hinted at a sequel in an interview with The Daily Beast last year. According to IMDb, Keaton&amp;#039;s next role will be Walter &amp;quot;Robby&amp;quot; Robinson in Thomas McCarthy&amp;#039;s Spotlight, a thriller centered around The Boston Globe&amp;#039;s investigative coverage of the child molestation scandal inside the Catholic church.  Also in comebacks: Paul Reubens, who is in talks with Netflix for a new Pee-Wee Herman movie, reportedly produced by Judd Apatow. Burton, of course, directed Pee-Wee&amp;#039;s Big Adventure in 1985.
