Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Eva Green, Samuel Jackson and Tim Burton. It'll either be brilliant, or complete pants. Hoping on the former.

Eva Green ++++ a criminally underrated actress, superb in Penny Dreadful , very much looking forward to seeing this

When was the last time Tim Burton made a great film? I'm struggling... Corpse Bride? Not a classic. Sleepy Hollow? 1999!!!!

My daughter made me read the book, couldn't put it down so got right onto the 2nd and 3rd on release day.
Really great idea for a story... SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

the author collated a load of old photographs and created the characters based on the images on said pics, a good story aimed at the teenage market, looking forward to the movie.

My son is really into fantasy books, so I got him the Miss Peregrine series for his birthday. He says they're brilliant; the film could be interesting.

The X men for posh kids.

Eva Green getting typecast in gothic horror flicks.

Wot ? No Mrs Burton ? Most odd.

Didn't they split up a while back?

I despised Penny Dreadful but watched two series just for Eva Green. 

I'm pretty sure I will watch this.  Cheers for the info.

Frankenweenie is excellent.  Maybe not a classic but is a very good film.

^ Frankenweenie is lotsa fun & Charlie and the chocolate factory was good.

I HATED that film! Terrible in almost every way and none of the magic of the old film. The only thing I liked was Depp's look.

The trailer looks pretty good. I'm not much of a Burton fan, I feel that I should be, but for some reason his films don't quite do it for me. I did like Big FIsh, was that really one of his??
