Tim Burton Ups His Weird Game With 'Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children'

All children are born different, and all children should be encouraged to embrace what makes them exceptional. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is an orphanage that does just that, and it can only be Tim Burton who brings it to our screens this Fall.

Based on the 2011 debut novel by Ransom Riggs, 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' stars Eva Green from 'Penny Dreadful' as the titular orphange director and 'Ender's Game' star Asa Butterfield as the Home's newest guest. It's the latest film from Tim Burton ('Big Eyes', 'Alice in Wonderland', 'Sweeney Todd'), so expect unparalleled weirdness.

When a teenage boy named Jacob Portman (Butterfield) is faced with unusual remnants from a different time and, indeed, realm, he meets the very pretty Emma Bloom (Ella Purnell from 'Maleficent'). He has no idea what is about to transpire, or what destiny lays ahead for him.

She takes him deep underwater to a hidden place, helping them along with her own peculiarity - the fact that she can control air. If that wasn't strange enough, she then brings him to a house where the resident children all have their quirks; be it invisibility, flight, super-strength or having a mouth in the back of one's head. Miss Peregrine makes him promise to care for the children when they are overrun by horrific monsters, and Jacob soon discovers that his pecularity is the only thing that can save his new friends.
