Asked by CineFOOLS at the premiere of "Land of the Lost" whether or not a sequel is looming, director Brad Silberling seemed optimistic that a follow-up movie is likely to be happening.

"[Name removed for privacy reasons] and I, he's the writer of...is very friendly with Mr. Snicket I should say, we stay in constant touch about it, because I would love nothing more than to do that and we've been hoping to, so I think there will be a chance it may take a wildly different form but I think it will probably happen."
