The film stars Eva Green, Asa Butterfield, Ella Purnell, Chris O'Dowd, Allison Janney, Terence Stamp, Kim Dickens, Rupert Everett, Judi Dench and Samuel L. Jackson. Filming began in February 2015 in London and the Tampa Bay Area. It is scheduled to be released domestically on December 25, 2016 by 20th Century Fox.[1]

Plot

A 16-year-old boy named Jacob Portman accidentally works himself onto a mysterious island where he helps a group of peculiar orphan children at Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, protecting them and leading them away from horrible creatures who are out to destroy them.

Cast

Production

The film rights to the 2011 novel Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs were sold to 20th Century Fox on May 17, 2011. Chernin Entertainment also signed on to produce the film with producers Peter Chernin, Dylan Clark and Jenno Topping.[8] Later on November 15 the same year, Deadline.com reported that Tim Burton was in talks to direct the film, and it was also revealed that he would be involved with the studio in setting a writer to adapt the novel.[9] On December 2, Jane Goldman was reportedly hired to adapt the story as a screenplay for the film, while Burton was not confirmed yet.[10]

Casting

On July 28, 2014, Eva Green was set to play Miss Peregrine in the film.[2] On September 24, it was announced that Asa Butterfield was being eyed for the lead role on Burton's choice, but he was not offered for the role yet.[11] On November 5, Ella Purnell was offered for a role and was in final talks to join the film, while it was reported that Butterfield had also been offered for the male lead role and he was the favorite one.[4] On February 6, 2015, Samuel L. Jackson was added to the cast to play Barron, while Butterfield was also confirmed for the lead role.[3] Terence Stamp, Chris O'Dowd, Rupert Everett, Kim Dickens, and Judi Dench were announced as being in the cast on March 12, 2015.[5]

Filming

Filming was once set to begin in August 2014 in London.[12] On February 17, 2015, Tampa Bay Times revealed that some parts of the film were being shot in London.[13] Principal photography on the film began on February 24, 2015 in the Tampa Bay Area.[14] Filming would last for two weeks in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, in Florida area.[14] It is the second Tim Burton film to be shot in the Tampa Bay area, the first being Edward Scissorhands, in 1989.[14] The production of the film would later move to Cornwall and Blackpool in the United Kingdom and Belgium.

Release

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was previously set for a July 31, 2015 release.[16] Later in August 2014, the film's date was shifted back to March 4, 2016 because the film's production was set to start in February 2015, making it difficult to meet original July 2015 release date. The film was pushed again to December 25, 2016.[17][18]
