Screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith has revealed that the long-gestating Beetlejuice sequel could begin filming by the end of this year.
“I think we landed on the right idea, landed on the right approach," said Graheme-Smith, who is writing and co-producing the project with director Tim Burton.

Conan Board Game Surpasses Kickstarter Funding Goal
At the near-midpoint of its Kickstarter campaign, Monolith Games' Conan board game has blown past its initial funding goal.
Originally asking for $80,000, the Kickstarter currently sits at $1,227,086 with fifteen days left in its campaign. Over 7,000 backers have pledged their support for Conan's creation.

Microsoft Announces Q2 2015 Earnings
Microsoft announced $26.5 billion in revenue for quarter closing out 2014, with Xbox sales down, but mobile device sales for units like the Surface Pro and Lumia phones doing well.
Net income in general is down from last year's report of $6.55 billion, however, this time at $5.86 billion.
Part of this drop, according to Microsoft, is related to $243 million worth of restructuring and integration costs partially due to the company's acquisition of Nokia's mobile phone business.
Surfaces sales are up 24%, bringing in $1.1 billion alone. Microsoft released its Surface Pro 3 last June, which our review of called "great," but not the perfect laptop replacement.
