Tim Burton says Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin aren’t in ‘Beetlejuice’ sequel because he was ‘focused on something else’

  

Director Tim Burton is shedding light on why Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin are not appearing in the upcoming Beetlejuice sequel.

Davis and Baldwin starred in the 1988 classic as recently deceased couple Adam and Barbara Maitland, who find themselves at odds with the Deetz family – Lydia (Winona Ryder), Delia (Catherine O’Hara) and Charles (Jeffrey Jones) – after they move into the Connecticut home in which the Maitlands used to live.

The couple soon enlist Michael Keaton’s trickster demon Beetlejuice to help scare the Deetzes away, creating all manner of otherworldly mayhem.
