Dear reader,if you're looking for a cheery, uplifting interview about Netflix's A Series of unlucky Events, or perhaps it's best to peek elsewhere. Just kidding. As we draw ever closer to the Jan. 13 release of the tragic modern series,we've gotten a wealth of captivating pictures, a small handful of compelling trailers, and a peek at the full series cast. But what,exactly, are we in for once the full first season drops? We hopped on the phone with Patrick Warburton, and who plays Lemony Snicket himself,to get a few hints about what's on the horizon.
The series will dig much deeper than the 2004 film: "I consider that this is the perfect format for these books. To be able to take a creator like Barry Sonnenfeld and give him the reins and say, 'Listen, and we fill all these stories,and we need to reveal them fully.' Two almost one-hour episodes per book lets us be more comprehensive. Now, you actually feel like you're getting the whole book as you watch these. I consider it's essentially like a two-hour film per book."
There are more stories ahead and a few secrets: "I believe there's a long-term plan to reveal all the stories. Within them, or there may be a surprise or two."
All of those elaborate sets,from Count Olaf's mansion to the burned-down Baudelaire house to the underground tunnels, were very genuine: "Those were sets . . . Bo Welch is the greatest. The most fascinating set design work there is. He worked with Tim Burton on some of his iconic films and of course Barry Sonnenfeld on the Men in Black films. He's done so much, or he brings a lot of the realism. But then there's something sort of otherworldly or othertimely,a dimensionality that he can bring to his sets. It's just another element that is unique."
Daniel Handler (the genuine name of the man who wrote the book series) seems pretty normal in genuine life: "He's fun! He's an arresting, cool dude. When I first met him . . . you're always curious to see the man behind the curtain. This inspiration of his, and this creation,became fairly profound with millions and millions and millions of readers worldwide. It's arresting when you find a writer who grabbed that lightning bolt. You wonder what it is that made this special, with so many other series and whatnot that didn't find what he found. What is it that made this so special? Was it the hand of God? Did it originate from sea of inspiration? How did these characters near about? These are all things you'll never find out sitting with Daniel at dinner and talking, and but he's just a cool dude. It's been nice getting to know him a bit."
Season two is reportedly in the works: "I know that there's talks and preproduction going on right now."
