Full cast revealed for Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

Production has commenced on Tim Burton’s latest phantasmagorical offering, MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN, and with that announcement comes the full cast list; some names we’ve known, some are new. The film, which 20th Century Fox releases in theaters on March 4, 2016, stars Eva Green, Asa Butterfield, Ella Purnell, Chris O’Dowd, Allison Janney, Terence Stamp, Kim Dickens, Rupert Everett, with Judi Dench and Samuel L. Jackson.

That’s a pretty good line-up for a movie that sounds like a return to form for Burton.

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.

Based on the popular 2011 novel by Ransom Riggs, MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN will film in Florida before moving to locations in the United Kingdom and in Belgium.
