A Series of Unfortunate Events - COMING TO NETFLIX

[Blankments]

HOLY SHIT YES 

 

Netflix is entering a new area: live-action family entertainment. On the heels of picking up AwesomenessTV’s live-action comedy Richie Rich, the streaming company has acquired rights to the best-selling series of books A Series Of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, with plans to adapt them as a live-action series. Search is underway for a director to help re-create Snicket’s visual world on TV. Netflix is producing the project, which is being fast-tracked, with Paramount Television. Paramount was behind the 2004 movie starring Jim Carrey, which grossed $209 million worldwide.

 

I wonder who they'll cast as Olaf... and if they mean director, do they mean it'll be True Detective style each season?

I freakin love the movie. Can't wait for this.

[CoolioD1]

Cool. I loved these books as a teen and the movie is underrated.

[Blankments]

I'm actually not big a fan of the movie, but the last time I watched it, I was in that mindset where I was all "It's not like the book, so it sucks"

[MovieGuyKyle17]

Jim Carrey was great in the movie, and the movie itself was good. Out of all of the stupid movie to TV series pickups this one is one of the better pickups and I could actually see lasting as a series.  

[Empire]

Cool! Can't wait to see who they cast.

[MrPink]

This seems like a great medium for these books. Never read em' though

[CoolioD1]

Cool! Can't wait to see who they cast.

They should just bring Jim Carrey back tbh. I thought he was great and he doesn't have anything else going on. Unless he wants Dumb and Dumber Free

Yeah, he did a great job and he should do it. Nowadays lots of actors are doing tv that are normally in movies, so it wouldn't be that big of a stretch if he did. It would help his dwindling career.

[Blankments]

Yeah, hopefully they ask Jim Carrey back. I mean, Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are the leads of Netflix's biggest show; it's not demeaning at all

Jim's career is in such a poor state right now, he should be hoping Netflix calls him about this.

[The47th]

Very excited about this. I loved the film and I always wanted to see the story continuing.

[CoolioD1]

Yeah, hopefully they ask Jim Carrey back. I mean, Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are the leads of Netflix's biggest show; it's not demeaning at all

Their biggest show is Orange is the New Black which is led by some unknown actresses and some kinda known actresses, but nonetheless I see your point.

The movie is very, very underrated.
