Seth Grahame-Smith, best known for his writing credits on pulp fiction books Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter, has won the rights to reboot Beetlejuice. Having signed a two-year contract with Warner Bros., Smith and his production partner David Katzenberg plan to helm the project under their joint company, KatzSmith. Although no further information about the upcoming film has been released, Smith's previous work as a comedic writer almost guarantees that this film will stick to the humor of Tim Burton's original masterpiece.

It's a sequel, not a remake.

Per Deadline, who broke the news:

"KatzSmith Productions partners David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith have just signed a two-year first-look feature producing deal at Warner Bros. While rights are still being worked out, one of their first projects is expected to be a sequel to Beetlejuice, the 1988 Tim Burton-directed hit that starred Michael Keaton as a ghoul hired by a recently deceased couple to drive the new owners out of their house. Burton and Keaton made the movie while they were working on the studio’s first Batman film, which was released the following year. Beetlejuice also starred Alec Baldwin, Winona Ryder and Geena Davis. The film will not be a remake; the intention is to reboot it by advancing the storyline of the original, which was done by The Geffen Company and Warner Bros.

It better be a sequel. With Harry Belafonte songs all over the place.

You don't have to be technical and say reboot. We're all friends here, its safe to say that they will rape this classic.
