A 1973 novel which sounds like a mix of horror and young adult fiction. Starring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett. I'm brought back unwanted memories about MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN, or as I summed it up: Tim Burton's XMEN.

Australian actress Cate Blanchett is reportedly in talks to join Jack Black as part of the cast of "The House with a Clock in its Walls", Eli Roth's forthcoming full-length feature, says Variety.
The director, a horror movie virtuoso, is currently working on adapting John Bellairs' novel for the screen.
The novel, published in 1973 in the US, stars a 10-year old boy whose parents have just died in a car crash. He is taken in by his somewhat odd uncle, who lives in an old house, haunted by a strange clock. In this small town in Michigan, Kevin discovers a whole new world made of magic, dangers, and hidden passages.
Jack Black is playing the magician uncle. Cate Blanchett would play the part of Mrs Zimmerman, his neighbor and best friend, and a magician as well.
The Oscar-winning actress currently shoots "Where'd You Go, Bernadette", by director Richard Linklater ("Boyhood"), with Kristen Wiig. Ahead of its release in May 2018, the public will see her starring in "Thor: Ragnarok", on 25th of October. Blanchett will also appear in June 2018 in "Ocean's Eight", with Sandra Bullock, Helena Bonham Carter, Rihanna, and Sarah Paulson.
Eli Roth, who has made a name for himself in horror movies ("Cabin Fever", "Hostel", "The Green Inferno"), will release "Death Wish", starring Bruce Willis, on 22nd of November in US theaters.
