Mystery surrounds this character that is now played by Alfre Woodard. Meryl Streep played Aunt Josephine, the ex-badass, a now very anxious friend of the Baudelaire’s Parents. Aasif Mandvi plays the uncle in the new TV release and does a great job. In the second on-screen casting of the Baudelaire, he is played by Louis Hynes who seems to fit the role quite well.īilly Connolly played quite a prominent role in the movie as Montgomery, the reptile-obsessed pleasant Uncle that takes the children into his hand after the first awful encounters will Count Olaf. Liam Alken played the also intelligent Klaus, who is very much a bookworm. Secondly, the actors were different, obviously, this is who the characters were played by in each adaptation. For starters the new TV series will consist of eight episodes in the first season, that will be based on the first four books by Lemony Snicket, that’s one more than the film covered. Obviously, the Movie compared to the new TV show does have some differences, as does any remake. The film follows the source material quite closely and pleased many of the book fans.

In 2004 the books were converted into a film starring Jim Carrey that covered the first three novels ‘The Bad Beginning’, ‘The Reptile Room’ and ‘The Wide Window’. The children from then on suffer a quite terrible streak of unfortunate events. The kids are left a large inheritance which gathers the attention of their distant but deadly relative Count Olaf.

The story follows three unfortunate siblings, who after their parents supposedly perish in a deadly fire their family mansion. Netflix’s new Original has launched on January the 13th, and is based on the 13 dark children books written by Lemony Snicket.
