Geena Davis Wants To Be In Beetlejuice Sequel

Geena Davis, who played one half of a recently-deceased couple in Tim Burton's 1988 horror-comedy Beetlejuice, has expressed interest in reprising her 'Barbara Maitland' role now that a sequel is officially in development.

"I did hear that it's really happening," Davis told ETonline. "No one's talked to me about it. I would love to! That was one of my favorite movies, too."

There could be a small hiccup, though. Ghosts don't age, but Davis has. She's now 59-years-old and it would probably require costly de-aging technology, like what they did with Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, for audiences to believe she could reappear. Davis acknowledges this issue, however, she joked that it might be more of an issue for her onscreen husband ('Adam Maitland'): Alec Baldwin.

"But ghosts probably don't age, and it's going to be 30 years now. Of course, I haven't aged, but I think Alec Baldwin maybe has aged, perhaps," the Oscar-winner joked.

Beetlejuice (1988) - A couple of nice homebody ghosts, trying to rid their house of a family of trendsetting human beings, is hell-bent on making their home unlivable -- even for the dead.
