Inside the Director's Notebook

O.K, I realized that my trailer for The Bad Beginning was more of a T.V shot so I'm reduing all over in a whole new document and everything. I hope you all like it!

Like ' The Farting Menace ' I realize some of my info may be wrong but I seriously dont care. Oh yeah. I used 'Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter because I didnt know any music that would fit the Unfortunate Event Films except for Celine Dions ' Thats the Way It Is '

Ahem.........

WE SEE THE DREAM WORKS LOGO SWIRL INTO VIEW AS THE TRAILER STARTS.

WE SEE A HOUSE ENGULFED IN FIRE. THE WORDS A BARRY SONNEFIELD FILM SWIRL INTO VIEW. THEN THERE IS A BIG BLAST AS HEDWIGS THEME STARTS.
THE WORDS ' STARRING JIM CARREY ' SWIRLS INTO VIEW IN FORGET - ME - NOT BLUE.

THEN WE HEAR PLEASANT WINDS. THE SCREEN IS BLACK. AND THEN A PICTURE OF A BEACH SLOWLY COMES INTO VIEW.

NARRARATOR - Not to long ago......

SEE A FLASH OF VIOLET SKIPPING ROCKS. KLAUS EXAMINING A CRAB. SUNNY BITING A PIECE OF WOOD.

NARRARATOR - Three Children payed a visit to Briny Beach.

SEE MR.POE WALKING TOWARD THE BAUDELAIRES IN ALL THE FOG.

NARRARATOR - But never did Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire think that one trip to the beach-

WE SEE A FLASH OF COUNT OLAFS TATTOO.

Mr.Poe - Your parents have perished in a fire that destroyed the entire house. I am very sorry to tell you this my dears.

NARRARATOR - Would turn into an Unfortunate Journey of a lifetime.

WE SEE MR.POE AND THE BAUDELAIRES WALK UP THE STEPS OF COUNT OLAFS HOUSE. THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN. FINALLY, WE SEE COUNT OLAF. THE CHILDREN GASP.

COUNT OLAF - Hello, Hello, Hello. Welcome to my home.

NARRARATOR - They quickly learned that A Series of Unfortunate Events can happen to anyone.

VIOLET - (reading a note from Count Olaf. )

Dear orphans ,

STARRING ( WHOEVER PLAYS KLAUS )

KLAUS - None of us now how to cook!

VIOLET - I know. We will just have to learn.

NARRARATOR - But learning wasnt enough for Count Olaf.

SEE KLAUS FALL TO THE KITCHEN FLOOR INCHES AWAY FROM COUNT OLAFS TATTOO.

NARRARATOR - But the children learned -

HOOK HANDED MAN - If I know you Olaf, you ' ll find a way to get your hands on the Baudelaire fortune.

COUNT OLAF - Maybe I will. Maybe I will.

NARRARATOR - That all their new guardien was interested in was their fortune.

KLAUS - We have to get out of here.
