A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS Finds Its Violet and Klaus
After a continuous search for the two lead roles of Violet and Claus, Netflix’s adaptation of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events finally recruited Malina Weissman and Louis Hynes. Weissman is known for playing a young Kara Zor-El on CBS‘ DC Comics series Supergirl and young April O’Neil in Paramount Pictures’ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Her companion, on the other hand, is a newcomer, and we can only hope for the best. In addition to this, we already pointed out that Neil Patrick Harris boarded the series as Count Olaf.
A Series of Unfortunate Events recounts the tale of the orphaned children Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire at the hands of the villainous Count Olaf, as they face trials and tribulations, misfortunes, and an evil uncle in search of their fortune, all in their quest to uncover the secret of their parents’ death. The books have sold more than 65 million copies and have been translated into 43 languages. The epic series will be executive produced by Barry Sonnenfeld, who will also direct a number of episodes, and Daniel Handler, legal, literary and social representative for Lemony Snicket.
Filming is expected to begin in March.
