Rencana ini tidak harus dikelirukan dengan siri novel A Series of Unfortunate Events

Seperti dalam buku-buku, latar cerita ini tidak diketahui. The film reflects this ambiguity in its anachronistic art direction; it was praised for its creative sets and costumes, all of which have a darkly expressionistic and gothic feel, leading to a highly unusual and creative visual motif.[1][2] Silberling has said this was partly inspired by the visual style of the similarly themed The Night of the Hunter.

Produksi sunting

Pengembangan sunting

Nickelodeon Movies membeli film rights serial buku A Series of Unfortunate Events pada Mei 2000.[8] Paramount Pictures, pemilik Nickelodeon Movies, setuju untuk memberi kewangan, sertai Scott Rudin.[9] Various directors, including Terry Gilliam and Roman Polanski, were interested in making the film. One of author Daniel Handler's favorite candidates was Guy Maddin.[3] In June 2002, Barry Sonnenfeld was hired to direct. He was chosen because he previously collaborated with Rudin and because of his black comedy directing style from The Addams Family, Addams Family Values and Get Shorty.[10] Sonnenfeld referred to the Lemony Snicket books as his favorite children's stories.[11] The director hired Handler to write the script[12] dengan intenti membuat Lemony Snicket sebagai muzikal,[7] dan memerankan Jim Carrey sebagai Count Olaf pada September 2002.[12]

The film suffered setbacks in development in December 2002. Rudin left Unfortunate Events over budget concerns. While Sonnenfeld and Carrey remained, Sonnenfeld admitted he was skeptical of Paramount's $100 million budget. The studio decided that changing the shoot from Hollywood to Wilmington, North Carolina would be less expensive.[11] The April 2003 start date was also pushed back.[13] Paramount eventually settled the situation in January 2003 by enlisting help from DreamWorks to co-finance the film, but Sonnenfeld vacated the director's position. Rudin and Sonnenfeld had no involvement with the film afterward, but were credited as executive producers. Carrey remained with approval over the hiring of the next director.[14]

"Very little of what I wrote is in the film, which I actually think is appropriate being as that I was writing it for Barry Sonnenfeld. It's a director's medium and Brad Siberling makes entirely different films from Barry Sonnenfeld. I wasn't filled with resentment because they didn't use it [my script], I was just disappointed because I'd worked a long time [on it] and Scott Rudin, Barry Sonnenfeld and I were all sort of ready to go, along with Jim Carrey, with the film that we had. So it was sort of a long, rocky, journey. But that's all [in the past]."
— Series author Daniel Handler[3]

Brad Silberling signed on to direct in February 2003.[15] He was not familiar with the book series when he was first approached. He quickly read the first three books and was excited that "Hollywood was taking a chance to put over $100 million to adapt these inventive children's books onto screen".[16] Handler, who wrote eight drafts of the script for Sonnenfeld,[3] was replaced by Robert Gordon in May 2003.[17] Handler approved of the changes that were made to his original screenplay.[18] "I was offered credit on the film for screenwriting by the Writers Guild of America," Handler continued, "but I didn't take it because I didn't write it. I felt like it would be an insult to the guy who did."[3]

Filming sunting

Filming was set to begin in October 2003, but it was pushed back.[15] Principal photography for Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events began on November 10, 2003,[19] using the sound stages and backlot at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. Director Brad Silberling avoided using too many digital or chroma key effects because he wanted the younger actors to feel as if they were working in a realistic environment. Olaf's mansion occupied two sound stages, while the graveyard and the ruins of the Baudelaire mansion were constructed on the Paramount backlot. After 21 weeks of shooting at Paramount,[20] production then moved to Downey Studios, a former NASA facility,[21] for eight more weeks. Downey housed the circular railroad crossing set complete with forced perspective scenery, as well as a newly-constructed water tank complete with over one million gallons of water. The water tank was instrumental in filming scenes at Briny Beach, Lake Lachrymose, Domocles Dock and Curdled Cave.[20] Filming for A Series of Unfortunate Events ended on May 29, 2004.[22]

Design sunting

The character Count Olaf, played by Jim Carrey, sports an idyllic top hat and black-striped overcoat, seen from his thighs and up. Behind him shows a bleak cornfield on the left and a gas station on the right. The station has a red- and white-striped awning and looks worn. Olaf faces to the driver's side window of a car, and he positions his right hand as if he's pointing at something above him, while concentrating his eyes on the window and holding car keys in his left hand.
Some scenery was designed to accustom forced perspective techniques, combined with matte paintings.

Silberling, production designer Rick Heinrichs and costume designer Colleen Atwood all aimed for the film's setting to be ambiguous, giving it a "timeless" feel. Heinrichs also added steampunk designs to the period.[20] To contribute to the setting, Silberling hired Emmanuel Lubezki as the cinematographer because he was impressed with the trio's work on Sleepy Hollow.[23]

Lubezki compared the cinematic similarities to Sleepy Hollow, notably the monochromatic look of both films. He also choose a specific color palette backdrop for A Series of Unfortunate Events. "The story is very episodic, so we picked a different color scheme for each section. For example," Lubezki continued, "Count Olaf’s house has a lot of greens, blacks and grays; the house of Uncle Monty has a lot of greens and browns and a bit of yellow; and the house of Aunt Josephine has blues and blacks."[23] The railroad crossing set was constructed on a cyclorama, which was the most ambitious setpiece for the art department on using elements of "in house" special effects and matte paintings.[20]

Robert D. Yeoman replaced Lubezski as cinematographer when Lubezski had to leave the production to commit to The New World. Yeoman mostly worked on the expansive harbor set at Downey.[23] The art direction was inspired by The Night of the Hunter, which also influenced Handler for the writing of his books.[16] Atwood commented that the Mr. Poe character was based on Edward Gorey paintings.[24]

Visual effects sunting

Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), supervised by Stefen Fangmeier,[23] created the film's 505 visual effects-shots.[25] The filmmakers used as few digital effects as possible,[23] though the train and smoke for the railroad crossing scene was entirely created using computer animation. ILM also used color grading techniques for the Lake Lachrymose scene, which required complete animation for the leeches. The digital animators studied footage of the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season to accurately depict Hurricane Herman, which was ILM's most ambitious use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) for the film.[25]

Nexus Productions designed the opening "Littlest Elf" animated sequence by modeling it after stop motion animation and completing it with computer animation.[19] The snakes at Uncle Monty's house were a combination of real snakes and animatronics. The animatronics, primarily the Incredibly Deadly Viper, were used as reference models that ILM later enhanced using CGI.[20]

Because working with infants was sometimes risky in producing a film, four scenes involving Sunny Baudelaire required CGI with motion capture technology.[26] Among these are the shot of Sunny hanging on to a table by her teeth, catching a spindle with her mouth and the scene where she is entangled with the Incredibly Deadly Viper. Animation supervisor Colin Brady used his baby daughter for motion capture recording.[26] A remote controlled animatronic of Sunny was also designed by Kevin Yagher.[27]

Kemungkinan francais dan but semula sunting

Siri filem yang mungkin sunting

Paramount Pictures dan Nickelodeon Movies berharap filem itu akan menjadi satu siri seperti Harry Potter siri filem.[10] Carrey fikir wataknya akan menjadi bagus sebagai asas untuk francais filem kerana ia akan membolehkannya menyelami peranan baharu,[16] walaupun dia berkata dia tidak "mempunyai perjanjian" untuk sekuel.[6] Pada Mei 2005, penerbit Laurie MacDonald berkata "Lemony Snicket masih merupakan sesuatu yang diminati oleh Paramount dan kami akan bercakap dengan mereka lebih lanjut."[28]

Pada Oktober 2008, Handler berkata bahawa "sekuel nampaknya masih dalam kerja-kerja. Paramount telah mengalami beberapa perubahan korporat, yang telah menyebabkan banyak kelewatan. Sudah tentu, banyak, banyak rancangan di Hollywood menjadi sia-sia, tetapi saya Saya yakin bahawa filem lain akan dibuat. Suatu hari nanti. Mungkin."[29] Pada Jun 2009, Silberling mengesahkan dia masih bercakap tentang projek itu dengan Handler, dan mencadangkan sekuel itu menjadi filem stop motion, dengan setiap filem dalam medium baharu, disebabkan pelakon utama muda sudah terlalu tua untuk meneruskan peranan mereka, sambil berkata, "Dengan cara yang ganjil, perkara terbaik yang boleh anda lakukan ialah mempunyai Lemony Snicket katakan kepada penonton, 'Baiklah, kami menggadaikan filem pertama sebagai dramatisasi semata-mata dengan pelakon. Sekarang, saya takut saya perlu tunjukkan perkara sebenar kepada anda.'"[30]

Siri televisyen sunting

Rencana utama: A Series of Unfortunate Events (siri TV)

Pada November 2014, Netflix mengumumkan rancangannya untuk adaptasi televisyen bagi keseluruhan siri novel.[31] Siri ini membintangi Neil Patrick Harris, Malina Weissman, Louis Hynes dan Presley Smith, dengan Patrick Warburton sebagai Lemony Snicket.[32][33] Siri ini, juga bertajuk Satu Siri Peristiwa Malang, ditayangkan pada 13 Januari 2017.[34] Musim pertama terdiri daripada lapan episod, dan mengadaptasi empat buku pertama siri ini. A Series of Unfortunate Events musim kedua telah dikeluarkan pada 30 Mac 2018, dan mengandungi 10 episod, mengadaptasi buku lima hingga sembilan siri novel.
