Looks like Rodriguez will be rebooting Spy Kids, but it will still be a sequel to the original franchise with Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World
Robert Rodriguez recently revealed his intention to reboot his own Spy Kids franchise. Now, Dimension Films has officially announced an August 19, 2011 release date. It will be entitled Spy Kids 4: All The Time In The World, even though the cast will be entirely new. Rodriguez told Coming Soon this reboot would have “different kids, not the old kids.”
With Rodriguez more recently producing such hard hitting films as Predators and adapting his fake trailer Machete into a feature film, to return to the family film seems odd.
They couldnt have the same kids since the two “kids” from the first franchise can now vote. But in the franchise their accidental promotion to superspies did trigger a new branch of the spy agency dedicated to other spy kids, so it just makes more sense to move on with a new cast.
I wonder if the original Spy Kids will cameo? Or the Spy Parents Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino?
Danny Trejo’s character in the Spy Kids films is Machete … Does this mean the inevitably gritty action film spawned from the Grindhouse fake trailer will be connected to Spy Kids?
