30 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Still To Come In 2016 - Ranked
30. Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children
Release Date: September 30th
Billed As: Tim Burton's latest adventures in weirdness about orphans with weird and wonderful powers under the protection of a magical custodian who keeps away monsters called Wights and Hollowgasts. Expect lots of imagination pouring off the screen.
Hype: Based on a beautiful best-selling novel by Ransom Riggs, this film adaptation has found arguably the perfect director in Tim Burton, given his capacity for imaginative, visionary work. Yes, he has a habit of going over the top (as he did in Alice In Wonderland), but a return to darker material is a good move.
Samuel Jackson is the villain, which will either work wonderfully or stutter horribly (there never seems to be a middle ground in those circumstances), and there's a sort of Burton's X-Men feel about it, which is intriguing to say the least.
