Meanwhile, book series author and the real Lemony Snicket, Daniel Handler, also released a bunch of photos of the different characters on "A Series of Unfortunate Events." On his Twitter, he posted photos of Catherine O' Hara as Dr. Georgina Orwell and Joan Cusack as Justice Strauss. He also asked fans to guess the roles of Don Johnson and Aasif Mandi in another Twitter post.
Joan Cusack is Count Olaf's neighbor who will be introduced to the Baudelaire orphans in the beginning of "A Series of Unfortunate Events." On the other hand, Catherine O'Hara's character is part of the fourth book, "The Miserable Mill," who hypnotizes the children upon Olaf's request.
According to Entertainment Weekly, O'Hara actually played Justice Strauss in the 2004 ASOUE movie adaptation with Jim Carrey. As for the other mysterious roles teased by Handler for "A Series of Unfortunate Events," fans are guessing that Don Johnson will play Sir from the Lucky Smell Lumbermill and Aasaf Mandi will play Uncle Monty, the orphans' other guardian.
Slash Film notes that because of these photo releases, there's a good chance these are the characters whom fans will see in the new trailer for "A Series of Unfortunate Events" on Thursday. Check back to this site for more about the upcoming Netflix show.
