20th Century Fox has dropped a new trailer for Tim Burton‘s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

The film stars Eva Green as a foster mother to children with very peculiar powers, and protects them from those who seek to exploit it. She takes an interest in a young boy (Asa Butterfield), whom she believes will be their protector. Check out the trailer below.

There is one thing you can count on from Tim Burton, and it’s that he has a knack for bringing out the art from the strange narrative. Though his most recent work has been a bag of mixed results, the filmmaker has stayed true to his style, never once wavering from it. And that really shows in the first new trailer for Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.

The film is an adaptation of the best-selling novel of the same name. Considering its title and plot, it seems like Burton was born to direct this film, which centers on a boy who is tasked with protecting a refuge for children with unusual abilities from those who seek to expose their sanctity. Check out the full trailer below, along with a poster for the movie.

When we last left peculiar children (well teenagers), Jacob and Emma, in Hollow City, they were on the brink of death. Jacob, in particular, had a hollow tentacle wrapped around his neck. When all of a sudden, a calm surrounded him and he was able to speak command in hollow-tongue. And the hollow obeyed. Wth?!?!

And that’s where Library of Souls: The Third Novel of Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs begins – the moment Jacob realizes that his gift is not just to sense or see hollows, but to control them.

Quirk Books is known for their “peculiar” works and GoD loves to read them.

Avengers: Age of Ultron star Samuel L. Jackson is in talks with Fox to join the cast of Tim Burton‘s big-screen adaptation of Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children, according to Variety.

There’s no mention yet on which character Jackson will play in the story, based on the 2011 Ransom Riggs book of the same name published by Quirk Books. If negotiations go well, the 66-year-old actor will star alongside Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game) and Eva Green (Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, 300: Rise of an Empire) in the film.
