Way back in 2004 the hottest new franchise opportunities for Hollywood studios came via successful children’s books – preferably, books having to do with wizards, witches or some combination of the two. To these ends, Paramount/Dreamworks snapped up the rights to the darkly comic “Lemony Snicket’s” series of 14 books, and then combined the first three of these into the film “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events”. The plan was to make more of these films, but that plan went awry when the movie only brought in $118 million domestically off of a $140 million budget. “Harry Potter” it wasn’t.
So color me surprised to hear that a “Lemony Snicket’s” sequel is still being discussed. Cinefools hit the “Land of the Lost” premier and put the question of a Count Olaf resurrection to director Brad Silberling:
“I actually think it’s going to see the light of day.”
Silberling went on to say that plans for a sequel became “mired” in the studio politics of the Paramount/Dreamworks split but that he would “love nothing more than to do that…” A sequel, he means I am actually a big fan of “Lemony Snicket’s” – both the books and the film – so I would love nothing more than to see Brad Silberling get this project back on track… well, nothing more may be a bit of an overstatement. I’m still waiting for an Edward Gorey to movie to come out…

They definitly have to make this sequel.
There are A LOT of Lemony Snicket fans who are eager to see this sequel.
We don’t want a movie per book, we only want ONE more movie.
Emily Browning and Liam Aiken still look young, and they could change the script and change the Baudelaire ages or something like that.
ASOUE rocks!

Or couldn’t they just recast? Ah, whatever. However they do it, I want to see this film.
