Yucca Valley will make an appearance in Tim Burton’s newest flick.

The director (“Beetlejuice”, “Batman”, “Edward Scissorhands”, really too many too mention) was spotted filming at the Circle K (really?) on Old Woman Springs Road, reports Z107.7 – who says that it was for his new movie “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children”.

These Facebook photos show someone that sure looks like Burton and the rest of the crew filming:

Z107.7 noted a heavy presence of California Highway Patrol cars, semi trucks, and people around the convenience store.

Naturally, people were pretty excited:
