20th Century Fox has released a new trailer forMiss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. Directed byTim Burton, the film is based on the novel of the same name byRansom Riggsand starsAsa Butterfieldas a young boy who stumbles upon a secret refuge for supernaturally gifted youngsters, headed up by the mysterious Miss Peregrine (Eva Green). However, Butterfield’s character soon learns that the children are in danger from ever-growing malevolent forces.
At the very least, this looks like a special effects extravaganza that’s beyond anything Burton has attempted to tackle before. The shorthand “Tim Burton’sX-Men” isn’t unwarranted, but it still looks like a fun time at the movies, and I’m eager to see what the director has accomplished with his latest feature. He definitely seems to have captured the fun part of his “peculiar” creation.
Check out the trailer below. The film also starsSamuel L. Jackson,Judi Dench,Chris O’Dowd,Allison Janney,Terence Stamp,Kim Dickens, andRupert Everett. Scripted byJane Goldman(Kick-Ass,X-Men: First Class),Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Childrenopens in theaters on September 30th.
