It seems Tim Burton is starting to think about what movie he wants to make after he completes work on Dark Shadows (which is out next May), and may have decided upon Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. 20th Century Fox bought the rights to Ransom Riggs’ novel back in May, and Burton is now in early talks to direct the adaptation, according to Deadline.
The story is about a 16-year-old boy named Jacob, who sets off to find a mysterious orphanage, which used to house children with special and dangerous abilities. When Jacob finds the abandoned home, he gets the feeling that these children may still be alive, somewhere in the facility.
It’s still very early days for the adaptation yet, as while Peter Chernin will produce, there’s no screenwriter attached as yet.
