Tim Burton and Ms Peregrine
This news scares me.
The book’s not that great, but I was surprised to see how Lovecraft-influenced it is. It starts off as a spooky Lovecraft story and ends as a kid enrolls in Xaviar’s School For Gifted Youngsters, which sounds great but it really offers nothing new. It’s also basically an origin story that promises (threatens) more installments.
But I was just horrified when I realized that Johnny Depp could play the main kid’s father (DADDY ISSUES BUILT IN) and that Helena Bonham Carter could do Ms. Peregrine. Yikes.
