My friend's mother is a rep for fashion photographers, and one of her mother's friends was going to be working on the ASOUE movie, and was given the first draft of the script. Their company was dropped with all the changes in production, and so my friend's mom's friend gave her the first draft of the script.
She typed some of it up for me over AIM because we are BEE EFF EFF's like that. So here are some excerpts with love. All credit goes to the amazing Lucy, whose AIM sn is MissLucy485 if you wish to talk to her about to the script or have her give you some more info.
missLUCY485: i have a friend who was going to do the costumes for the original one, but then they canceled it for a while and got a new crew entirely
missLUCY485: he made it so the whole movie was count olaf putting on a puppet show of the baudelaires in the first 3 books. it was good, so daniel handler, but ehh....its like 200 pgs or more long
missLUCY485: ok this is a diff part when the people go to the mansion
missLUCY485: EXT. BAUDELAIRE MANSION RUINS - NIGHT
missLUCY485: We're back at these ashy ruins, eerie in the dim light. We see the figures of the three AGENTS we saw on the TROLLEY, examining the wreckage. The PREGNANT AGENT holds the black V.F.D. BAG and is taking the WILL out of the ORNATE METAL BOX. The YOUNG BOY AGENT holds a cage just like SUNNY's, with something inside.
missLUCY485: okay thats one paragraph
missLUCY485: YOUNG GIRL AGENT (sadly) - To think, all this destruction is the result of the refraction and convergence of light.
missLUCY485: PREGNANT AGENT - If the Will is here, where are the Baudelaire children? What can this mean?
missLUCY485: The YOUNG GIRL AGENT looks at it;
missLUCY485: YOUNG GIRL AGENT - It means, "a place of refuge and protection"
missLUCY485: PREGNANT AGENT - We've got to get this to Josephine.
missLUCY485: YOUNG GIRL AGENT - We can't take it all teh way over there. Our enemies are watching the roads.
missLUCY485: YOUNG BOY AGENT - It'll have to get there as the crow flies
missLUCY485: He opens the cage, and we see a large CROW inside. He reaches in as we cut to.....
missLUCY485: OLAFS kitchen.
missLUCY485: ...the TOWER ROOM. The PREGNANT AGENT, still with her BLACK BAG reading V.F.D., is holding the TURQUOISE SOMBRERO, while the YOUNG BOY and YOUNG GIRL AGENTS are looking at VIOLET's INVENTION.
missLUCY485: YOUNG GIRL AGENT - Look at this.
missLUCY485: YOUNG BOY AGENT(smelling it) - Puttanesca
missLUCY485: YOUNG GIRL AGENT - The Baudelaires were here.
missLUCY485: The PREGNANT AGENT reaches into the BAG - it's stuffed with all sorts of papers and unreadable objects - and pulls out a PHOTO of a SOMBRERO. She holds it up : we have a match.
missLUCY485: PREGNANT AGENT - something's gone horribly wrong. Call josephine and tell her we're on our way.
missLUCY485: The other AGENTS nod, and the YOUNG GIRL AGENT takes out SPYGLASS and dials intp it as we cut to ..
missLUCY485: JOSEPHINE's LIBRARY - NIGHT
missLUCY485: KLAUS - So if we sail from Damocles Dock towards the Lavender Lighthouse, we'll reach the cave from the southwest. As long as we don't eat within the next hour -
missLUCY485: We hear the ringing of a phone. The baudelaires look at one another
missLUCY485: KLAUS - Aunt Josephine said she disconnected the telephone.
missLUCY485: It rings again, and the baudelaire look down at teh desk where the spyglass is vibrating slightly.
missLUCY485: VIOLET - it's not a telephone.
missLUCY485: oops
missLUCY485: i mean :
missLUCY485: VIOLET - It's not the telephone
missLUCY485: It rings again. Violet picks it up and looks it over. We hear a roll of thunder.
missLUCY485: KLAUS - The atlas has a warning about Hurricane Herman, a notorious storm that can strike at any -
missLUCY485: Sure enough, the library is suddenly engulfed in RAIN and WIND. The SPYGLASS is yanked from violet's hand and flies through the air. she grabs for it, but it eludes her and with out last ring, falls out the window. The baudelaires stand in the window looking down at teh spyglass as it tumbles. they stare for a moment and then with a sickening lurch, the entire room tilts toward the raging lake.
missLUCY485: there's a page where the agents find teh REAL baudelaire will, that says "under NO circumstances are you to entrust count olaf as guardian for violet claus and sunny. They are to be given to montgomery montgomery, but if that is not an option, please take them right to josephine annwhistle.
missLUCY485: The AGENTS continue to circle the HENCHPERSON OF INDETERMINATE GENDER, moving in for the kill. Well, not kill.
missLUCY485: This is elaboratly choreographed if somewhat ineffectual, looking more like a halftime show than a battle: The AGENTS twirl and parry with their SPYGLASSES while the HENCHPERSON OF INDETERMINATE GENDER swings its thick arms, whooshing over the agent's head.
missLUCY485: young girl agent -
missLUCY485: This is for Beatrice!
missLUCY485: the HENCHPERSON growls.
missLUCY485: PREGNANT AGENT - And this is for the secret passageway that you used without permission!
missLUCY485: Another growl.
missLUCY485: YOUNG BOY AGENT - And this is for -
missLUCY485: The henchperson swings its head toward the AGENT only to hit it on the arch.
missLUCY485: HENCHPERSON - Ow.
missLUCY485: (s)he blinks for a moment, and then falls on his or her face to the ground...
missLUCY485: GATE -NIGHT
missLUCY485: ...we see, at teh same moment, the gate swing open, while the BAUDELAIRES continue to stare.
missLUCY485: ARCH OF DAMOCLES DOCK - NIGHT
missLUCY485: young boy agent (to the girl agent) - that was surprisingly easy.
missLUCY485: But the young girl agent is striding purposefully toward the baudelaires, holding out her spyglass.
missLUCY485: young girl agent - violet, klaus, sunny - we're glad we found you.
missLUCY485: here, take this.
missLUCY485: She throws the spyglass to violet, who catches it absently.
missLUCY485: young girl agent - where is josephine?
missLUCY485: KLAUS leans down and picks up the atlas
missLUCY485: klaus (a bit dazed) - curdled cave, we think ... but...
missLUCY485: the pregnant agent approaches them with the bag.
missLUCY485: pregnant agent - we haven't much time. take thi-
missLUCY485: she holds out the bag but as she does so, in one carl stalling swoop, a net rises from the ground ensnarling every last agent like one of those wild game traps dr. livingstone set in the jungle. teh bag is tossed to the wet ground...
missLUCY485: gate - night
missLUCY485: ..and skims toward the baudelaires. sunny makes a grab for it, but it drops off the pier into the stormy lake. glump! the camera swivels back to...
missLUCY485: ..the arch, where the agents are a furious mass of netted humanity, dangling up in the air. below them, we see the two white faced women, standing at teh posts of teh arche smiling at one another in satisfaction
missLUCY485: (no clue)
missLUCY485: they are each holding the ropes controlling the nets.
missLUCY485: white faced woman 1 - there's something so satisfying about working with your hands.
missLUCY485: white faced women 2 - thank you.\
missLUCY485: they begin to tie the ropes to the arch, securing the net, while the pregnant agent pops her head out and calls to the baudelaires
missLUCY485: pregnant agent - we have the situation under control! baudelaires! get josephine and meet us back here.
missLUCY485: white faced woman 1 - josephine is alive?
missLUCY485: white faced woman 1 - josephine is alive?
missLUCY485: pregnant agent - go!
missLUCY485: the baudelaires go..
That's it for now...she is a fairly reliable source lol, so I believe her.
P.S.
I would never post anything which I knew to be false, that would serve no purpose at all and would not give me any pleasure at all, so if you think it's just me making up some stuff, please don't, I have no motive to do so.
