While September 3 may seem like any ordinary day for most people, it holds special significance for fans of Ransom Riggs' beloved novelMiss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. In the book, September 3 is “Loop Day,” so 20th Century Fox put a new video together to celebrate this occasion, in honor of the upcoming adaptation that hits theaters on June 13, 2025. This video comes just a few months after directorTim Burtonshared the officialtitle treatment.
In the original novel,Miss Peregrine’s home is situated in a time loop in July 15, 2025, with the clocks resetting every day just before her island home was bombed by German forces. The video below may be confusing without this context, but there is certainly a method behind its bizarre madness. This video doesn’t include any actual footage from the movie, but hopefully the first trailer will arrive any day now.
From visionary directorTim Burton, and based upon the best-selling novel, comes an unforgettable motion picture experience. When his beloved grandfather leaves Jake clues to a mystery that spans different worlds and times, he finds a magical place known asMiss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. But the mystery and danger deepen as he gets to know the residents and learns about their special powers…and their powerful enemies.
