The first two decades of the 21st Century were defined by the colossal number of YA literary adaptations being thrown into multiplexes with reckless abandon, with the misses dramatically outnumbering the hits. Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events was one of the small exceptions to the rule, though, but still didn’t get a money-spinning franchise to call its own.
On paper, there weren’t many reasons not to carry on telling the story on the big screen, and with 13 source novels to choose from, there was hardly a shortage of content, either. And yet, despite earning $211 million at the box office, landing strong reviews from critics and an enthusiastic reception from audiences, as well as winning an Academy Award for Best Makeup from four nominations in total, it simply wasn’t to be.
