“Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah,” Burton said. “Oh yeah, oh yeah. Yeah yeah, oh yeah.”
In Beetlejuice, Ryder played Lydia Deetz, the teen Goth who befriends the ghosts haunting her house. Ryder also starred in Burton’s Edward Scissorhands. The director went on the explain that he had caught up with Ryder recently.
“I worked with [Ryder], I hadn’t seen her in a whileโฆ and she was so great,” Burton said. “I was so happy to see her. So those kinds of elements mean something to me. Michael, and herโฆ and that character, I just miss it, there’s some freedom about that character that I love.”
We’ll have to wait and see if the entire gang finally gets back together for Beetlejuice 2.
