The hype surrounding the 2024 movie schedule may be rising soon, given that a certain highly anticipate title is about to rear it's humorously creepy head -- Tim Burton ’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice . The long awaited legacy-quel to the 1988 classic, this upcoming horror movie also marks the return of actor Winona Ryder as the iconic Lydia Deetz. And, while speaking with her about this welcomed revisitation, Ryder not only expressed excitement for this project, but revealed to CinemaBlend another legacy-quel she was trying to get off the ground for years.

Sadly, in her own words, "that ship has sailed," and it makes me sad. While sitting down with the veteran performer behind films like Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Edward Scissorhands , I asked her if there are any other roles from her illustrious career that she'd love to reprise. When faced with that question, Winona Ryder shared this answer with CinemaBlend: I don't know, because .

But I think that ship has sailed. That was another that I thought could be a fun return. This is an absolute first for me, to revisit something.

There's something so special about it ...

and now, I know, it's like you're spoiled. Like you don't ever want to do this unless it's absolutely perfect. A follow-up that would've allowed the world to compare the Heathers cast then and now could have been spectacular.
