I had never read any of the books before the film's release, but I really enjoyed Brad Silberling's "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" when it opened in theaters in 2004. And yes, I also really wanted to see a sequel (and still do). According to Silberling himself, I may actually get to see one soon. The director of the upcoming Will Ferrell comedy "Land of the Lost" told the following to CineFOOLS in a recent interview:
"<Name removed for privacy reasons> 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."
Okay, this doesn't guarantee anything, but at least Silberling's talking about something that could "probably happen." If this film does ever happen, count me in!
