Movie Monday: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Happy Monday YAs!

The Book:

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children , an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow-impossible though it seems-they may still be alive. A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

I haven't read this one, but it sounds pretty awesome.  Creepy tale plus kids in in vintage (think: old black and white) photographs?  Awesome.

What we know about the Movie:

20th Century Fox owns the movie rights and Tim Burton (omg!) is attached to direct.  TIM BURTON, PEOPLE!  That's awesome!  This is perfect for him!  I wonder if it'll be animated, stop motion, or live?  That's about all the news we have on this one so far.  Will fill ya in when I find out more!  In the mean time...read it!

Movie Monday: Delirium

Happy Monday YAs!  It's time for Movie Monday!  Your little sneak peak into the movies that may be/are being made from YA books~

The Book:

 

Delirium by Lauren Oliver

Lena looks forward to receiving the government-mandated cure that prevents the delirium of love and leads to a safe, predictable, and happy life, until ninety-five days before her eighteenth birthday and her treatment, when she falls in love.

OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS I LOVE THIS BOOK.  Most of you know me and know that I love a good dystopia especially with some romance mixed in.  The idea of this story is so unique, I grabbed it as soon as I heard about it.  I'm sitting here trying to think about what I could type to tell you how awesome this book it, but I'm really having a hard time soooo.... Just read it.  :)

What we know about the Movie:

Not much.  It's been optioned by Fox, which basically means that Fox bought the right to make this movie.  The movie has a stub page on IMDB but no real info.  So share!  What would be your dream cast for this movie?  Who for Lena?  Who for Alex?

Also, isn't it weird that two weeks in a row that the main character is named Lena?  

Happy Monday~

Movie Monday: Beautiful Creatures

Happy Monday YAs!  It's time for Movie Monday!  Let's get right to it~

The Book:

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl - There were no surprises in Gatlin County. We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere. At least, that's what I thought. Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong. There was a curse. There was a girl. And in the end, there was a grave. Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power, and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever. Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them. In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

I LOVED this book!  The setting is so well described, I loved the kind of gothic southern story.  I read this during the summer too, so I could imagine it really well.  I also listened to it on audiobook, which was also great.  (Gotta love well narrated audiobooks!)  I haven't gotten a chance to read the other books in the series, but I will definitely get there eventually!

What we know about the Movie:

The movie rights were bought in 2009 by Alcon Entertainment and Richard LaGravenese was attached to direct.  (director of P.S. I Love You and A Little Princess, among other things!)  They started filming this (Hooray!  It's officially coming to theater!!!) in May of this year.  So...on to the important part...

The Cast:

Lena Duchannes

Alice Englert is playing Lena.  She's beautiful, right?  Perfect look for Lena.  She's a newcomer to the acting biz, this being one of her first major roles.  I hope she does well!

Ethan Wate

Alden Ehrenreich is playing Ethan.  Not as thrilled with this one.  His main picture on IMDB is putting me off.  He's been in some TV before this, but this seems to be his first big movie role.  We'll see!

Want to see more of the cast?  Check out the film's IMDB page.

The movie is set to come out in February.  When we get a trailer I'll be sure to post it up here for you guys and gals.  Have a great Monday :)
