How I Met Your Mother
star Neil Patrick Harris is in talks to join Netflix's upcoming adaptation of
Daniel Handler's (aka Lemony Snicket) series of best-selling children's books, A Series of
Unfortunate Events.
Harris possible
casting as Count Olaf comes with the loss
of showrunner Mark Hudis, who has left the 13-episode straight-to-series for
unknown reasons.
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
follows the lives of three orphan siblings, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny
Baudelaire, whom are put in the custody of their evil uncle Count Olaf, whose
only goal is to acquire the children's inheritance by any means necessary.
The 2004 film starred Jim Carry, Meryl Streep, Jude
Law, Timothy Spall, Emily Browning, Catherine O'Hara, and Billy Connolly.
Are you made fainthearted by
death? Does fire unnerve you? Is a villain something that might crop up in
future nightmares of yours? Are you thrilled by nefarious plots? Is cold
porridge upsetting to you? Vicious threats? Hooks? Uncomfortable clothing?
It is likely that your answers
will reveal A Series of Unfortunate Events to be ill-suited for your personal
use. A librarian, bookseller, or acquaintance should be able to suggest books
more appropriate for your fragile temperament. But to the rarest of readers we
say, “Proceed, but cautiously.”
