I know this has been discussed in a few threads, but I didn't see a topic just for it. So, here we go.
Looks like Tim Burton will be directing an adaptation of Ransom Riggs' debut novel Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (title shortened for the movie) and it's been scheduled for a July 2015 release. Thoughts?

I love the book. It's like X-Men meets Woman in Black with a little bit of Harry Potter thrown in.

Eva Green in talks to star in Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children.

The Fox film, set for release on July 31, 2015, is based on Ransom Riggs' YA novel, which follows a teenage boy who is transported to an island where he must help protect a group of orphans with special powers from creatures out to destroy them.

Green, who would play the headmistress of the orphanage, previously worked with Burton on 2012's Dark Shadows.

Burton has supposedly been scouting locations and the movie is due to start shooting next month.

I thought Green was fantastic in Dark Shadows... truly the best thing in it and I say that as a HUGE Pfeiffer fan. It sounds like another great pairing.

The main character must be something really special, like a chosen one. Either that or a mastermind.
I mean, if the bunch of orphans have powers, why would they even need help from someone else to fight monsters?

Is it kinda like a "Batman in Justice League" kind of plot?

Tim's headed back to the CGI stuff already huh?

 

[Defacto]

Interesting. I wonder if the title stays. Or is it going to be "The Peculiars" or "Miss Perengine" or perhaps just "Perengine"

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I never say no to more Eva. Makes anything more watchable. Now can we get some on set images already?

I hope the title stays, but you are probably right. They will most likely be making it more... standard and boring.

Thanks to this press release, we now have the rest of the cast:

Production Begins on Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

Starring Eva Green, Asa Butterfield, Ella Purnell, Chris O’Dowd, Allison Janney, Terence Stamp, Kim Dickens, Rupert Everett, with Judi Dench and Samuel L. Jackson
Based upon the Best-Selling Novel Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children


LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Production is underway on visionary filmmaker Tim Burton’s MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN, based upon the best-selling novel Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs.

The film, which 20th Century Fox releases in theaters everywhere 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.

Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping are producing under the Chernin Entertainment banner. The screenplay is by Jane Goldman.

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 will film in Florida before moving to locations in the United Kingdom and in Belgium.

Director Tim Burton is widely regarded as one of the cinema’s most imaginative filmmakers. His many credits include the recent Big Eyes, plus Alice in Wonderland, Batman, Batman Returns, Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands, Frankenweenie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.

Ransom Riggs’ novel was published in 2011, followed in 2014 by a second book (in a planned trilogy), Hollow City.

One of the world’s largest producers and distributors of motion pictures, 20th Century Fox Film produces, acquires and distributes motion pictures throughout the world. These motion pictures are produced or acquired by the following units of 20th Century Fox Film: Twentieth Century Fox, Fox 2000 Pictures, Fox Searchlight Pictures, Fox International Productions, and Twentieth Century Fox Animation.

Fox has moved it from March 4, 2016 to Christmas Day 2016.

Instead of Burton's usual composer Danny Elfman, composers Matthew Margeson and Mike Higham are scoring Miss Peregrine.

[DarthSkywalker]

I am still so pissed about this move.

 

[Marvolo]

I'm waiting for this to move again. Either up or back, but they must realize it's not smart to open against Star Wars Rogue One. Even though the genres are different but star wars will probably suck up a lot of ticket sales it's first week or two of release. This film would do better in October or November. Given the story and Burton's involvement I think October would be a great time to release it.

Given that the composers are recording the score in a few weeks' time, perhaps Fox is planning on a summer or fall release?

If they want to get it out in the summer August might be the most accessible summer month this year.

seeing this for Eva Green loved her in Dark Shadows

This is going to be first in a long time that Danny Elfman is not composing for a Tim Burton film. Seems like it had conflicting schedules with Alice in Wonderland 2.

 

[Dark Victory]

I loved "Dark Shadows" -- Burton's best film since "Ed Wood", in my opinion. Super excited to see him and Eva Green working together again for this.

I like Dark Shadows, but it was a really messy film, with no clear direction. If I was going to pick Burton's best film since Ed Wood, it would have to be Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride or Frankenweenie. Nothing else comes close imo.

Same here.

Those legs and that porcelain skin tone in that movie were .

 

[Dave McFly]

her chemistry with Depp was good and that movie still has one of the funniest love scenes to date

So what are we thinking, trailer with Alice 2?
