Have you any ideas that you'd like to see worked into the later films, the ones based on books 7-10? One of my ideas is a puppet show based on the story of Queen Debbie and Tony in TCC. It could be acted by Olaf's henchmen.

I also wish they'd have clever demonstrations of Lemony's little stories to prove things.
And Full-fledged broadway musical numbers for the volunteers fighting disease song, and crazy things like that.

Both the puppet show and the musical numbers would be awesome. In TEE the elevator scene, they should leave the screen in dark for a few seconds, like in the book they left two pages black. I really really really hope that there will be some Snicket flashbacks of the things he mentions he was doing while writing the story.
Wouldn't it be cool a "Movie / Documentary" based on TUA, kinda Behind the Music / E True Hollywood Story or something like that.

What would be fun is if they worked in Snicket's flashbacks(as mentioned before) as well as anecdotes from the autobio, giving the movie a sort of documentary feel. They could also include Lemony's letters to his sister by showing him at a typewriter, with a voice-over dictating the letter he types.

Ooh! Maybe a little Monty Pythonish cartoon of The Littlest Elf and when it goes back to the story, the elf should get trodded on!!! That would be interesting!

That sounds fun, but where could they work it in? Maybe during the film of book 7, which mentions The Littlest Elf. Or maybe they could do something similar with Debbie and Tony and the singing mice who do all the chores.

I think the sotry of Queen Debbie and Tony would awsome to see. But I wouldnt want it to be a puppet show. It would be cooler if it was real life.

Personally I think the puppet show with the henchmen is awesome. Have them fighting about the lines and stuff and have them have a puppet fight at like the end of it, where they get in a argument....that would be weird.

Have them pull the mice along on strings, drop them, and reach down with their spindly fingers(or pointy prosthetics) to pick up the strings. And at the end the curtain closes and we hear the sounds of "Tony" screaming and lions roaring. I have all this envisioned pretty well.

If you didnt notice, Snicket does have his adventurous screen time, as wished above. I just dont know how much of it. Hes in the trailer, just not his face, as in all pictures of him. but I do know that many VFD references will be made, so I guess pieces of TUA will kidna be explained. Im not sure.

I really want to see how they're going to make the self-sustaining hot air balloon.

I really want to see how they're going to make the self-sustaining hot air balloon. Computer animation. I can envision it as a CGI creation, all dark green balloons, propellers, baskets and pipes. The Vile Village will probably be the most spectacular book to film.
