If you’ve been looking forward to Netflix’s Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, a trailer is finally here. Check it out after the jump.
The trailer itself takes the reverse psychology approach to advertising the series, with the same tone you might remember from the movie that came out in 2004. As you can see below:
The trailer has Patrick Warburton appear as Lemony Snicket, the narrator for the eight-episode season, and we get a taste of dialogue from Neil Patrick Harris’s Count Olof in the background.
Here’s the synopsis:
A Series of Unfortunate Events recounts the tale of the orphaned children Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire at the hands of the villainous Count Olaf, as they face trials and tribulations, misfortunes, and an evil uncle in search of their fortune, all in their quest to uncover the secret of their parents’ death. The books have sold more than 65 million copies and have been translated into 43 languages. The epic series will be executive produced by Barry Sonnenfeld, who will also direct a number of episodes, and Daniel Handler, legal, literary and social representative for Lemony Snicket. [Handler is actually the writer of the successful book series. — Ed.]
We’re looking forward to seeing how the series pans out when it launches in January next year.
