Lemony Snicket's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' UPDATE #1

Netflix's Unfortunate Events Teaser?!



So as promised with my last Film News post in which I talked about my thoughts on how the 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' is coming to Netflix in 2016 which you can check out here - http://rabbittevision.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/lemony-snickets-series-of-unfortunate.html, I did mention that if there was any update on this upcoming series then I would share that info with you all as soon as possible. Obviously from the title you guys can deduce that there is an update... of soughts. Now at first after watching this 30 second 'teaser' I did think to myself that everything I had talked about previously was pretty much shown in this trailer. While it is a series that is mainly directed towards the younger generation, the trailer provided here does illuminate a certain quirky darkness which is something I appreciated a lot in the film adaptation of this story back in 2004. But, with all these positives that I had in my head at the time, I did also question whether or not this trailer was legit since the source of the video didn't come from Netflix directly. After doing a little bit of digging, I did find that this trailer is in fact a fan-made teaser. In the video comments of this video, Netflix themselves said this - 'Nope, this isn't an official Netflix teaser, but we won't call Count Olaf - THIS IS MOST MARVELOUS'. So in actuality, this isn't the teaser most Lemony Snicket lovers were dying to get there set of eyes on. Even though it is a fan-made trailer, firstly I will say that to whoever made this trailer and by chance is reading this, honestly good job. You made me look like a sucker for a day! ;). and lastly, this is probably an accurate account as to how Netflix will approach this series. To reiterate, everything that was shown in this trailer is what I expect Netflix to do; make as quirky and dark as possible. Funnily enough, I did kind of get a American Horror Story vibe towards this trailer which would be interesting if this series to quirks from that series as well. Sorry if this update was short and not something to take in consideration, but I did want to share this teaser even though it was fan-made. In general it's a teaser that again, could be an accurate representation of what we could see with this series. Although this wasn't the real deal, I do believe that in the near future, we will see or hear news about what Netflix is doing with A Series of Unfortunate Events. 

As always, thankyou to those who took their time to read this Blog Post. I know it might seem like a pointless Blog in terms of this trailer not being real, but it was something that essentially blew up when it was shown on YouTube. If you want to check out more on what I have to say on this, then check out the link near the beginning of this Blog and if you have an opinion on this teaser, let me know what all of you think down in the comments down below. Again, if there's news of any new information regarding this series, then I will try and put up a Post as soon as possible. Right, that about wraps it up, thankyou for reading and I'll see you all very soon!! :)

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Film Review

A visual beast with a dark bite: Why it's considered the best of the bunch? Undoubtedly, one trait that a long running film franchise upholds, is the way in which it tries to re-imagine and betters itself, whilst keeping a familiar formula that audiences can engage and relate with. Over the many years of their own filmic existence, on-going film series in the forms of James Bond and Batman for example, have each always embodied and maintained a familiar structure that over the years, has always been re-adjusted and moulded by different directors and auteurs. Batman especially, with its radical transformation from Tim Burton's 90's renditions to Christopher Nolan's hyper-realistic re-telling of the caped-crusader, is a clear indication of how much a franchise or a well-known singular-fictional character can morph into something completely different. The Harry Potter filmic series is no different; with the 3rd instalment, The Prisoner of Azkaban , crafted by Alfons

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Film Review

All good things, must come to an end... While it is already a long time since its origin, next year will mark 20 years when a story about a young boy-wizard, growing up and prevailing against darkness, took shape in the form of a book for many children and adults to be engrossed in. Indeed, J.K. Rowling's much favoured 'The Philosopher Stone' book, published in 1997, sparked a generation of young-readers to be enthralled in a thrilling story that had mystery, adventure and 'magic'. While it can't be questioned to deny that Rowling provided me, and lots of other people similar-age, a literary upbringing that accomplished many things, the filmic legacy, which was brought about with Rowling selling the Potter rights to Warner Bros. in 1999, would prove to be just as popular and as imperative in parading the Harry Potter name. To put it simply, this praised and lauded film franchise is nothing like anything on one has ever seen before. Despite not comparing i

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Film Review

A slight bump on the wizarding road?! Being that the previous filmic entry in the form of The Prisoner of Azkaban , directed by Alfonso Cuaron, was the first Harry Potter film, in that time, to have delved into the more 'dark' nature of the stories through excessive yet successful visual means, it was only natural then, that we would gradually see more of these dark tropes and a much more serious story being fleshed out, in Mike Newell's Harry Potter iteration of The Goblet of Fire . With fearsome creatures, casual murder and a character hacking off their own hand in a peculiar yet odd satanic ritual, indeed, The Goblet of Fire  goes far and beyond from the light-hearted Columbus productions, to a film that matures itself through serious horror/thriller cinematic approaches. It was no wonder parents, at the time of this films release in 2005, were conflicted on whether or not they should permit there own child in watching an edgy Potter, rated 12A, that could potenti
