: Beetlejuice Again? Ask Keaton
: Michael Keaton won't be doing any Batman sequels. But Beetlejuice? He's ready to roll.
: Keaton was here at Cannes with actress Lili Taylor to promote a new HBO Films feature they're shooting in Europe. HBO Films, run by Colin Callender, has now become a primary force in the movie business. They have several films here. On Tuesday night they gave the most elegant dinner so far by the pool at the Majestic Hotel.
: Keaton, looking tan and fit, told me it wasn't true that doing the two Batman movies had wiped out his interest in movies. "I loved doing them. They wanted me to do the third one, but I wanted to do it a different way — more the way Spider-Man has been done."
: Instead, Keaton took time off to have a life. He doesn't regret it. Now he's got a movie with Michael Caine, the new HBO project, and several ideas. One of them is to make the sequel to Tim Burton's Beetlejuice.
: "I've talked to Tim about it. You have to remember that a lot of what we did was made up as we went along. A script would never reflect what we would shoot. All that stuff that everyone likes is us riffing."
: Keaton said that if Warner Bros. would give them the green light, he and Burton are ready to try and do it. So my message to Warner's is: what are you waiting for?
