Spy Kids 4, New actors, new premise

Before Austin director Robert Rodriguez begins working on Sin City 2, he has to break his chain of violent, gory movies with a kid friendly Spy Kids reboot. Now that the previous spy children Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara
are grown up, production will have to find two new kids, new parents, and a new villain. The film will revolve around a new parent, played by Jessica Alba. She is a former spy of the fictional OSS, and after marrying into a family with two new stepchildren, she is called back to undercover work. The two new stepkids will be portrayed by Rowan Blanchard and Mason Cook, two newcomers to the franchise. The two new children will obviously be caught into the spy action to somehow stop the new villain, The Time Keeper, a man intent on stopping time. Jeremy Piven has been cast as the baddie, and will star alongside Joel McHale of Community and returning actors Antonio Banderas, Alexa Vega, Daryl Sabara, and Danny Trejo. The movie will be titled Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World and will be released August 19, 2011. This entry seems like a cheap way to make money. I don't expect good things from this film, especially because of Rodriguez's most recent forays into kids film. The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl and Spy Kids 3D: Game Over were some of the worst films I've seen. This should have been expected; Rodriguez's films' only saving grace is the gratuitous violence and gore. These will obviously be absent from the new Spy Kids so my expectations are horribly low.-Alex

  1. it would be better to make the film NOT kid friendly, keeping all the intense violence and gore

  2. Wait another spy kids movie? seriously? The first one was good, then the 2nd and 3rd kind of stunk.

  3. ...Oh no. This idea sounds almost as bad as the Avatar sequel does.

  4. NO!!! Why would someone DO that?? The spy kids movies were never excellent, and this will make them even worse. I agree, I liked the first one a lot better than the second and third. Once this happens, It'll be like Shrek... The first two were good, but then they kept on making them, so it turned into a pretty bad series. And *I* personally hate it when movies change the actors. At least change the movie name. But DON'T call it spy kids. Because when I see that name, I think of Carmen and that curly haired kid. (Juni?)
