Take a peek inside Miss Peregrine’s Home for Pecu­liar Children

08 Mar 2016

Words by Cormac O'Brien

Eva Green stars as the title char­ac­ter in Tim Burton’s long-await­ed adap­ta­tion of the Ran­som Rig­gs’ novel.

With Tim Bur­ton tak­ing a pro­duc­er cred­it on this summer’s Alice Through the Look­ing Glass, the direc­tor has been free to com­plete his lat­est pas­sion project, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Pecu­liar Children.

The sto­ry, which is based on the 2011 nov­el of the same name by Ran­som Rig­gs, spans dif­fer­ent worlds and times and cen­tres on a young boy named Jake whose grand­fa­ther leaves him a clue to find­ing a mag­i­cal place known as Miss Peregrine’s Home for Pecu­liar Children.

On being giv­en the oppor­tu­ni­ty to helm this adap­ta­tion, which stars Eva Green, Asa But­ter­field, Chris O’Dowd, Judi Dench and Samuel L Jack­son, Bur­ton has said: ​“I knew I want­ed to tell the sto­ry of those kids. A girl, lighter than air, a boy with bees liv­ing in his stom­ach, a woman who turned into a bird – it was a world I want­ed to explore. So I made a film about them.”

Ahead of its the­atri­cal release on 30 Sep­tem­ber, check out this brand new set of images from the film and watch the offi­cial trail­er above.
