‘Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children’ Character Posters: Meet Tim Burton’s Latest Lovable Misfits
Neither critics nor audiences much cared forX-Men: Apocalypse, the eighth entry in 20th Century Fox’s long-running comic book franchise. It drew tepid reviews and flabby box office, and is generally regarded as a disappointment. But maybe the studio’s other big superpowered team-up,Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, will have better luck.
Directed byTim Burtonand based on the bestselling novel byRansom Riggs, the story concerns a young man (actual Tim Burton characterAsa Butterfield) who stumbles across a hidden home for children with extraordinary abilities.
You know, kind of like the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, only more British, more retro, and more Tim Burton-y. Or maybe that makes it more likeHarry Potter’s Hogwarts? In any case, it’s time to meet the residents. A batch of newMiss Peregrinecharacter posters have just been revealed, and you can check them out after the jump.

Not pictured areChris O’Dowd,Allison Janney,Terence Stamp,Judi Dench,Kim Dickens, andRupert Everett.
The material seems like a great fit for Burton, who delights in misunderstood misfits and fantastical, whimsical settings.Miss Peregrine’sbrings him back to dreamy territory after he went more down-to-earth with his last filmBig Eyes, and reunites him with Green, who was the only good thing aboutDark Shadows. Come to think of it, she’s the only good thing about a lot of stuff she’s in, likeSin City: A Dame to Kill Forand300: Rise of an Empire. Let’s hopeMiss Peregrineis the exception where the movie surrounding her is actually worthy of her performance.
