‘Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children’ Character Posters: Meet Tim Burton’s Latest Lovable Misfits

Directed by Tim Burton and based on the bestselling novel by Ransom Riggs, the story concerns a young man (actual Tim Burton character Asa 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 like Harry Potter’s Hogwarts? In any case, it’s time to meet the residents. A batch of new Miss Peregrine character posters have just been revealed, and you can check them out after the jump.
In order, that’s:
Not pictured are Chris O’Dowd, Allison Janney, Terence Stamp, Judi Dench, Kim Dickens, and Rupert Everett.
The material seems like a great fit for Burton, who delights in misunderstood misfits and fantastical, whimsical settings. Miss Peregrine’s brings him back to dreamy territory after he went more down-to-earth with his last film Big Eyes, and reunites him with Green, who was the only good thing about Dark Shadows. Come to think of it, she’s the only good thing about a lot of stuff she’s in, like Sin City: A Dame to Kill For and 300: Rise of an Empire. Let’s hope Miss Peregrine is the exception where the movie surrounding her is actually worthy of her performance.
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children arrives September 30.
