Basically my argument is that Harry Potter was always intended to be a series adapted from one book at a time and A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) was never really going for that long of a franchise game-plan. If Harry Potter could do that, why couldn’t ASoUE ? ‘Arrested Development’ Season 5 to launch on Netflix in 2018.ĭon’t worry, I’ll get to Captain Underpants (2017) soon. The first two Harry Potter movies had already come out, each one being a pretty good and faithful adaptation of its source material. How’d that happen? At the time, all those years ago, I wondered why Series decided to do that. But let’s talk about the three books thing. The Jim Carrey-led gothic-styled movie went through a heckuva back and forth during its pre-production process, swapping out different directors, letting go of Handler entirely, smooshing together three books and giving the plot a rushed and scattered feel, and ultimately just ended up a not-very-good movie. Why is this? What separates Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events from the 2004 dark comedy of the same name? Well, firstly, a lot of things. In the last year, both of these have been adapted into the visual medium, and both have been generally well reviewed by first-timers and long-time fans alike. One was Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket)’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, and the other was David “Dav” Pilkey’s Captain Underpants. Growing up, there were two book series that particularly meant a lot to me, Josh Roepe.
