I watched Lemony Snicket’s A Series Of Unfortunate Events at Paramount Studios last night... It was okay. A lot more entertaining, in my opinion, than
Ocean' 12 because of Jim Carrey's performance. The one big flaw that I found with the movie was that they didn't explain the significance of those spyglasses
(you'd obviously have to see the film to know what I'm talking about). But according to my friend Sarina
(who works at Paramount and was able to get me in for free. Thanks, heheh), Paramount is planning to make sequels to
Lemony Snicket since the story is based on a series of children's books. So essentially Paramount is trying to do what New Line Cinema did with
Lord of the Rings and Warner Bros. did with
Harry Potter. Though I'm pretty sure
Lemony Snicket will be the least successful of the three book-turned-movies franchises. Oh yea, I forgot about
The Bourne Identity and
The Bourne Supremacy.
...
Make that the least successful of the four book-turned-movies franchises. Oh, and I forgot about Mario Puzo's
The Godfather (and Jurassic Park...though only two of the films were based on Michael Crichton's novels)!! Dagnabbit, nevermind!!!
EDIT: After the movie, Sarina, one of her Paramount friends and her sister
(we all watched Lemony Snicket together) and I walked over to the set where they were shooting an action scene for the hit TV show
24. My question is: Shouldn't they be filming
24 at the Fox Studio Lot in Century City and not at Paramount, since
24 is a Fox show? Sarina replied that it was probably cheaper to film at Paramount.
