There's a series of children's books called A Series of Unfortunate Events, which is like an incredibly dark version of Roald Dahl. I hope to start directing it.
From Barry Sonnenfeld
These movies are like my kids. I just love them to death. Some of them go to Harvard and some of them can barely graduate high school.
They want to let the audience figure things out and let the reaction shot get the laugh.
When Frank the Pug is singing I Will Survive, the only reason it's funny is that Will is in that shot trying not to get angry. A shot of a dog singing I Will Survive on its own will not get a laugh.
Will and Tommy Lee are the only actors I've ever worked with where neither of them want to say any lines.
