Although this is old news to some, author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, Ransom Riggs, wrote on his blog saying that the New York Times best-selling novel will be made into a film. The best of part of this announcement, to me, is the director of the film. Tim Burton, the film director and producer famous for his quirky-themed movies (like Edward Scissorhands, Alice in Wonderland, and Dark Shadows), will be the director. The announced screenwriter is Jane Goldman, who lead the script writing of The Woman in Black.In other book-to-film news, Michael Grant posted on Facebook earlier today, "And going to Hollywood to meet with potential producers of a GONE movie. No news, sorry. But there is some definite interest from several people who can make things like that happen." So could a GONE film finally become a reality? It looks as though we'll find out soon.
