Tim Burton will work with FOX again
Studio 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment company asked Tim Burton to design and make a film on the book by Ransom Riggs' "Miss Peregrine House for special children". The film rights of the original novel were acquired in the spring of this year.
Jacob passed his childhood under the grandfather's stories about a shelter for unusual children. Among its residents a girl who knew how to handle fire, the girl whose feet do not touch the ground, invisible boy, and the twins, who were able to communicate without words. When the grandfather dies, 16-year-old Jacob receives a mysterious letter and sent to the island where his grandfather grew up. There he finds the children who had seen only in photographs.
The book has many pictures that are simply being asked to come to life on the screen under the direction of the chief specialist of Hollywood. It is interesting that Burton did not work with studio Fox after the failure of his staging of "Planet of the Apes." When the director was asked if he would like to shoot the sequel, Tim replied, "I better get out of the window." But now Fox released "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" by Timur Bekmambetov, where Burton was listed as producer, so it is likely that the relationship with Tim has been changed.
Now Tim Burton directs putting the finishing touches on the painting "The dark shadow," which premiered on 10 May, well in the autumn of next year, on the screens will be released an animated film "Frankenweenie" based on the eponymous short film of director.
Trailer for the book is as follows:
