Lemony Snickets director Brad Siberling has said that he is planning a second lemony snickets movie, although he says it will move in a totally new direction.
This is what he had to say.
“There was a period of time, about a year ago, where I would have said “Oh, good luck” because it was mired in so many things. It was a co-production between Paramount and Dreamworks and there were studio politics and I actually think it’s going to see the light of day. and I, he’s the writer of… is very friendly with Mr. Snicket I should say, we stay in constant touch about it, because I would love nothing more than to do that and we’ve been hoping to, so I think there will be a chance it may take a wildly different form but I think it will probably happen.”
Snickets was a brilliant movie and is so underlooked for both inventiveness and Jim Carrey's hilarious and perfect performance and the oafish ham Count Olaf. I'd love to see a return to that world and can't see why they would do it without him. As for Emily Browning and Liam Aitken, would they return? Both are 20 now but why can't we see Violet and Klaus defeating Olaf when they are older?
