Are you a fan of the Lemony Snicket books? Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events — with Neil Patrick Harris as the nefarious Count Olaf — filmed in downtown Vancouver yesterday.
A Series of Unfortunate Events tells the story of the three orphaned-by-fire Baudelaire children — Violet (Malina Weissman), Klaus (Louis Hynes) and Sunny — who are forced to live with their distant relative Count Olaf (Patrick Harris) after their mansion burns down. Turns out he’s scheming to get their inheritance so the children have to outwit him while solving the mystery of their parents’ death. Lemony Snicket (Patrick Warburton) will narrate the events and appear on screen.

Like the women of Valhalla Tumblr below, I spent yesterday morning stalking the set in and around Simon Fraser University’s Segal Graduate School of Business in downtown Vancouver. Regrettably I had to choose between Power Rangers’ Rita Repulsa terrorizing Steveston and the possibility of Count Olaf (Patrick Harris) appearing on set downtown.

A Series of Unfortunate Events had two units working downtown. One inside Simon Fraser University’s Segal Graduate School of Business as Mulctuary Money Management. That’s Count Olaf (Neil Patrick Harris) in the white long-sleeved shirt.

And the other on the sidewalks around the building with vintage cars driving by.
