"I felt like I was sinking into my own grave," Burton told the British Film Institute in a 2023 interview about the Beetlejuice sequel, confirming that sense of a loss of an inventive spark. This candid reflection highlights his past struggles and suggests that he has been searching for renewed creativity to reconnect with his audience.
The albatross of his own once-brilliant aesthetic, dinged in recent years by critical duds like Alice in Wonderland or Dark Shadows, seems to weigh less heavily these days for the filmmaker, suggesting a newfound sense of optimism as he returns to a beloved franchise.
