MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN
[2016, US - English]

Let’s face it, Tim Burton has always sealed his name high on a pedestal especially in his weaving of dark, quirky fantasies, but he’s no stranger as well when it comes to big misses. He hasn’t really directed any solid films in the last ten years except for Amy Adam’s biographical drama Big Eyes last year. The only bearable thing about his 2012 horror-comedy Dark Shadows was Eva Green, and the two has reunited for another fantasy getaway. I’m a huge fan of Green, she tops my list for villainous, dark roles, surpassing even names like Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Julianne Moore or Cate Blanchett. Hence making this film my pick for fiLmsToLoOkOutFoR. Based on the 2011 novel by Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children is a fantasy adventure film starring (apart from Green) Asa Butterfield, Ella Purnell, Chris O'Dowd, Allison Janney, Terence Stamp, Kim Dickens, Rupert Everett, Judi Dench and Samuel L. Jackson. Written by Jane Goldman (2015 Kingsman: The Secret Service, 2011 X-Men: First Class), the story concerns a seemingly ordinary Jake who discovers a secret hideout helmed by Miss Peregrine, where she shelters a group of children with unusual abilities. Looks like Goldman has been tasked to reimagine her screenplay for X-Men but this time written for a child’s world. Soon Jake finds himself in a position where he has to defend Miss Peregrine’s children from a dark force. The film is slated for a Sept 30 release this year.
