From visionary directorTim Burton, Jake uncovers a secret refuge. As he learns about the residents and their unusual abilities, Jake realizes that safety is an illusion, and danger lurks in the form of powerful, hidden enemies. Jake must figure out who is real, who can be trusted, and who he really is.
Asa Butterfieldstars as the 16-year-old Jake, a teen plagued by nightmares following a family tragedy. Taking the advice of his therapist, he sets off on an overseas journey to visit the abandoned orphanage where his late grandfather claims to have stayed as a young child. The place not only turns out to be real, but it is also a gateway to an alternate realm where kids with strange powers are attended too by a magical nanny namedMiss Peregrine(Eva Green).
Written by Ransom Riggs in 2011,Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Childrenwas inspired by a collection of vintage photographs that the author found at various flea markets.
