Tim Burton to direct ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children’ slated for July 2015

Fans of Ransom Riggs’ Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will be happy to find out that the movie now has an official release date and director!

 According to THR, the New York Times bestselling novel is slated to be released as a film on July 31, 2015. The script will be penned by X-Men: First Class writer Jane Goldman, and the film will be directed by the infamous Tim Burton.

Ransom Riggs has already completed the sequel to the novel, titled Hollow City, and set it for a January 2014 release date, but movie rights have not yet been purchased as far as we know.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children follows a teenage boy as he discovers an abandoned children’s home on a Welsh island and finds more than a few secrets hidden within its walls.

The novel is told with the help of actual historical photographs collected by Riggs, depicting the characters that the main character meets along the way.

Read the synopsis from the author’s website below.

A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. And a strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children who once lived here—one of whom was his own grandfather—were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a desolate island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive

 Quirk Books, the publisher of Miss Peregreine’s, created a book trailer for the novel back in 2011. Although this is not the theatrical trailer, it gives us fantastic insight into exactly how creepy this movie could be.

Although we’re positive that Tim Burton will add an even creepier tone to the film! Fans will either love or hate his adaptation, and we’re excited to see which direction he decides to take it.

If the deal closes, the film would be a step closer to giving Burton another supernatural feature to tackle. Green and Burton had previously worked together on “Dark Shadows” and Burton has always enjoyed reteaming with thesps he has worked with in the past.

Green, who is repped by UTA and Tavistock Wood Management, was last seen in “300: Rise of an Empire” and can be seen next in Robert Rodriguez’s “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.”

She has also stayed busy on the TV front with her Showtime show “Penny Dreadful,” which was recently renewed for a second season.

Tim Burton Targets Eva Green To Cast In ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home of Peculiars’ Movie; The Film Adaptation Of Ransom Riggs’ Novel Pushed To 2016

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" Director Tim Burton is still in talks with Eva Green to join the cast of the film adaptation of Ransom Riggs' novel "Miss Peregrine's Home of Peculiar Children". If Green would accept it, she will play as the headmistress of the orphanage and will be reunited with Burton after their project, "Dark Shadows", last 2012.

The film, which is expected to have a shortened title "Peregrine's Home of Peculiars", was originally set in July 2015. As Century Fox moved up "The Martians" to November 2015, it has given way for Burton's "Miss Peregrine's Home of Peculiar Children" movie adaptation to be released in March 2016.

The change in the release date will give Burton more time to work more on the distinctively Gothic feel of the story based on the book. Apart from that, he could concentrate first in his current project with Amy Adams, "Big Eyes".

Burton will also have ample time to talk to Green to join him in the movie, which will be penned by "X-Men: First Class" writer Jane Goldman based on the novel of Riggs. As the film has expected to have more young children to cast, viewers may see new faces or unfamiliar actors and actresses to join the production.

"Miss Peregrine's Home of Peculiar Children" is the story of 16-year-old boy named Jacob Portman who travels to Wales to know the truth behind his grandfather's death. He lands on the ruins of Miss Peregrine's place (or orphanage) and discovers people are still living in the remains. He also finds out that the children in the orphanage are not just ordinary ones because they possess special powers.

Green is currently star in the Showtime's TV series "Penny Dreadful" and will be seen in her upcoming movies "White Bird in a Blizzard" and "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For".
