Are you a fan of the Lemony Snicket books? Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events starts filming in metro Vancouver today with Neil Patrick Harris as the nefarious Count Olaf.
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 leave their mansion to live with their distant relative Count Olaf (Patrick Harris). 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.
