First look at Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

Last Updated on July 21, 2021

Here are the first images from Tim Burton’s MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN, the horror-fantasy about a secret island and its haunted young inhabitants. While nothing too spooky is going on in these pics, it does look at first glance like quintessential Burton – and we haven’t even gotten a peek at the monsters yet. Some of those kids are pretty eerie though.

Burton’s film stars Eva Green (whose character Burton describes as a “scary Mary Poppins”), Asa Butterfield, Ella Purnell, Chris O’Dowd, Allison Janney, Terence Stamp, Kim Dickens, Rupert Everett, with Judi Dench and Samuel L. Jackson.

The unforgettable, thrilling and haunting tale centers on 16-year-old Jacob (portrayed by Asa Butterfield), who follows clues that take him to a mysterious island, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores the abandoned bedrooms and hallways, he discovers that its former occupants were far more than peculiar; they possessed incredible powers. And they may still be alive.

MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN opens on September 30th; not a bad way to prep for Halloween!
