In Miss Peregrine’s início for Peculiar Children, the latest fantasia from director Tim Burton, Asa Butterfield plays Jake, a 16-year-old plagued por nightmares following a family tragedy.
The titular centrepiece story, based on Miller’s 1993 work, sees private eye Dwight lured por former lover Ava Lord (Eva Green) into killing her husband. Bad move, as it turns out, with this “pathological” femme fatale out for all she can get.
