Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced the Blu-ray release of director Brad Silberling's Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004), starring Jim Carrey, Jude Law, Liam Aiken, Emily Browning, Meryl Streep, Cedric the Entertainer, Billy Connolly, Catherine O'Hara, Timothy Spall and Luis Guzman. The fantasy comedy is based on the first three books of Daniel Handler's Lemony Snicket-penned children's novel series, and makes its Blu-ray debut on September 9th.



Official Synopsis: "Dear Viewer, If you enjoy movies filled with singing rabbits, exploding spaceships, or cheerleaders, you are holding the wrong disc entirely. This movie is extremely alarming, an expression which here means a thrilling misadventure involving three ingenious orphans and a villainous actor named Count Olaf who wants their enormous fortune. It includes a suspicious fire, delicious pasta, Jim Carrey, poorly behaved leeches, an incredibly deadly viper, Meryl Streep, and the voice of an impostor named Jude Law. The only things that could make such a spectacle more upsetting are special features, such as commentary by me or outtakes involving nervous laughter. I am bound to continue my research into the lives of the Baudelaire orphans, but you are free to seek lighter fare, like blue cheese fondue. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket."



Warner has yet to detail tech specs or special features.
