The film's makeup designer, Bill Corso, posted a picture of his original test design for Count Olaf which he tried to model as much on Brett Helquist's illustrations as much as possible. The result was heavily changed and toned down for the final look, possibly because of its sinister nature.

This image makes me wish that we had Tim Curry as Olaf rather than Jim... Just out of curiousity, where did you find this image, GAF?

Now in my opinion this is much better than the final movie version, but no complains! Thanks for sharing this.

JC must have asked to change that. In the excellent book on Dreamworks Studios The Men Who Would Be King Jim Carrey is revealed to have delayed the production several times before filming even started because he kept on requesting to change and alter the makeup because he disliked it and wearing it. In fact, he actually requested they halt pre-production so that he could be flown to London on a private plane to try on wigs and then when he got to the runway and was ready to take off, decided he didn't want to.

Thank G O D we did not get the JC version of Genghis....I can't imagine he would have been very...........sensitive....in his portrayal. The book never mentions any accent of any kind, and I love how the show did it, but I can't picture JC....not going that route....
STILL, it is very cool to see the what-ifs of the film series.

For some reason he looks a lot like Orlok from Nosferatu (1922). Which I think he is pretty cool.
