Trailer for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

From visionary director Tim Burton, and based upon the best-selling novel, comes an unforgettable motion picture experience. When Jake discovers clues to a mystery that spans alternate realities and times, he uncovers a secret refuge known as Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. 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.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children has sold millions of copies, been translated into 40 languages, and has spent more than two years on the New York Times bestseller list. Named one of "100 Young Adult Books to Read in a Lifetime" by Amazon.com

After the wildly successful first book, a sequel was spawned - "Hollow City: The Second Novel of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children". There was also an original graphic novel adaptation done by Cassandra Jean which was released in November 2013.

You can just say Tim Burton and we will get excited. So, when I heard he was directing the movie adaptation of Hollow City: The Second Novel of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, I could not wait to see what he would do.

Tim Burton and fantasy go hand in hand as he has to be one of the top Directors of this genre all time

The execution of this trailer, which plays more likes a teaser trailer, was spot on. It acts and introduction to the plot and unique characters, in case viewers are not aware of the book, and lays out a general over all whimsical feel for the film. I do love how they have not given out too much with this first trailer, they even have not revealed Jacob's (Asa Butterfield) "Peculiar" power. This trailer nailed it, and has me wanting more.
