Based Upon: The "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" series of nine (as of 10/15/02; by the time this movie comes out, there will be at least 13 books) children's books written by Daniel Hadler under the pseudonym of "Lemony Snicket." Specificaly, this movie will be mostly based upon the first few books in the series. Nickelodeon first bought the rights to the franchise in May, 2000, four months before WB started filming of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Paramount is hoping this will be the first of a series of films based on the books.
Premise: This is the story of the Bauedelaires, three young orphans, Violet (Browning), Klaus (Aiken) and Sunny, looking for a new home, who are taken in by a series of odd relatives and other people, including Lemony Snicket, who narrates the film, and starting with the cunning and dastardly Count Olaf (Carrey), who hopes to snatch their inheritance from them. Violet is the oldest of the Baudelaires at 14, and is their brave and fast-thinking leader. The only boy is middle child Klaus, 12, who is intensely intelligent and obsessed with words. The youngest is infant Sunny, who speaks in a language only her siblings can understand, and she has a tendency to... bite.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Release Date: March 19th, 2004
Cast: Jim Carrey (Joel Barish), Kate Winslet (Clementine Kruczynski), Kirsten Dunst (Mary), Victor Rasuk, Mark Ruffalo (Stan), Tom Wilkinson (Dr. Mierzwiak), Elijah Wood (Patrick); other cast not annnounced yet.
Premise: This is the story of a guy, Joel (Carrey), who discovers that his long-time girlfriend, Clementine (Winslet), has undergone a psychiatrist's (Wilkinson) experimental procedure in which all of her memory of Joel is removed, after the couple has tried for years to get their relationship working fluidly. Frustrated by the idea of still being in love with a woman who doesn't remember their time together, Joel agrees to undergo the procedure as well, to erase his memories of Clementine. The film, which takes place mostly within Joel's mind, follows his memories of Clementine backwards in time as each recent memory is replaced, and the procedure then goes on to the previous one, which is likewise seen, and then erased. Once the process starts, however, Joel realizes he doesn't really want to forget Clementine, so he starts smuggling her away into parts of his memory where she doesn't belong... which alters other things about his memories as well. (Dunst plays the psychiatrist's receptionist; Ruffalo and Wood play his lab technicians).

Encouraged by RJ, however, the animals slowly venture over the hedge that separates them from the brand new suburban development that appeared over the winter while they were sleeping, and what RJ shows them is a whole new world where humans leave tin cans full of fish and other food in big canisters, ripe for the taking. As they get closer and closer to humans, however, their comfortable lives in the woods appears to be threatened... can humans and animals live in peace as neighbors?
