'It was very hush hush, top secret.'
Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice.

“I think I can confirm it,” Ryder explained on Late Night with Seth Meyers. “It was very hush hush, top secret...then [Burton] was doing some press for Big Eyes and he did an on-camera interview and he said, ‘Oh yeah we’re doing it, and Winona’s going to be in it.’"
