Why? Seriously why? Its been done. It wasnt even that massive a book to begin with. It was popular but not earth shattering.
Who in their right mind thinks it needs a second film, and a fucking reboot of all things?
Is cinema fucking dead? Between this and the BFG Im getting sick of this shit.

The first movie was a shameless attempt to make it into another big "Harry Potter" franchise. It was shit. Now that we're all past that they actually have a chance to make something good. These books would work great as films if they put a little effort into them.
Oh they are making this one again? Nice. Loved the old movie as a preteen. Emily Browning was like my first movie crush.

read the comments retard, netflix says its fake
>>71991281
The teaser is, the series is not.
Learn 2 Unfortunate Events.
The only reason I even think its real is because Netflix said it was fake.
Also, even if the trailer is fake, the show itself is still real. Its currently filming

It had nothing to do with Harry Potter, it was a twist on Mary Poppins. You fucking retard.

Are you an idiot? he was trying to say that the only reason the FILM was made was to cash in the recent Harry Potter adaptation hype. They wanted a film franchise that could be as successful.

you kids are retarded, netflix right there says it is fake. read the obvious clues morans

Stop pretending to be retarded. You think I don't see through that shit?
>>71991098
sorry, this is a relatively good series that's worth putting on screen
it's one of the very few original children's series that doesn't rely on the formula of:
>dystopian future
>being selected/divided into factions or associations
>fantasy magic/powers
>pseudo-science fiction
>power fantasy
>self-insert wish fulfillment fantasy
>teen romance drama
it also has the advantage of being designed to appeal largely to an audience of 21+ people (who were in grade school when the series was relevant) as opposed to being primarily for 8-14 year old people like hunger games/maze runner/divergent/host/whatever
>>71991281
it's also probably better than whatever their trailer and theme sequence will look like

Also not true, that type of neo-Goth has been a thing since mid-80s.

it's a mid-era meme but it checks out

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck how thick is your skull. He's not talking about things tonally or genre. Harry potter had just seen a massive adaption from a children's book series and somebody thought they could do the same for Lemony Snickett. Stupid FUCK
>>71991729
Lemony Snickets was not ever designed to be a franchise.
Was that movie the peak of Emily Browning hotness
Yes
^ Yes
>>71991772
correct, which is why hollywood studios failed to turn it into a successful film franchise when they attempted to
I can tell you know you were wrong but you're still trying to hang just over the edge of admitting it by crafting some kind of clever counter-point to try to trick us into thinking our princess was in another castle all along
it's really okay that you're not a master baiter or ruseman, most people aren't
>>71991281
>That is a fanmade trailer
>Channel only has 1 vid and is named after one of the characters
>Lemony Snicket
It's obviously a ruse, the trailer is real.

Have to read the same book like 10 times just to get answers in the last few.
Fuck those books
