In case you didn't know, Netflix is making a ASOUE movie with Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf. I hope it'll at least be better than the terrible movie.

Here's a recent set photo, the first of NPH as Olaf.

Spoiler

Thoughts?

That's pretty goddamn perfect.

Honestly, it wasn't a good movie, but Jim Carrey was a great Olaf. Not only do you have to get the default Olaf down, you have to get his disguises down.

Shame the script was bad and they tried to make him funny

He wasn't threatening at all in the movie

Yeah, exactly. The writers only wrote in the showy, theatric side of his character, when that's really just a part of it.

Seems like they're making the same mistake by casting a comedic actor in the role. All the costumes in the world didn't stop Jim Carrey's Olaf being a goofy idiot.

Neil Patrick Harris isn't really just only comedy like Jim Carey is though.

Jim Carrey is far from only comedy...did you miss Eternal Sunshine and Truman Show?

The Truman Show is one of my all time favorite movies, and as serious as it is, he does have a comedic demeanor in the show too.

Signature goes here.
ASOUE would've been alright if they didn't try to condense three books into one movie and have the ending to the first one play out after the third. Although I have the feeling if they hadn't done that we would've ridden the Hollywood "Let's cut the book into two/three movies" bullshit they've been doing since the last HP.

Shame because immediately after book three the story really begins to pick up.

If he was only comedy, he would be only comedy. Those two movies wouldn't exist.

He has a comic demeanour in the beginning of The Truman Show, but that quickly fades.

I actually really enjoyed Carrey as Olaf. Maybe I wasn't as in to the books as other people (I did read them all though), and I was young at the time, but I remember his performance being the highlight of he film.
