Spy Kids 4 is scheduled for Aug. 19, 2011.

Took my kids to see the movies and own them on DVD.

The 1st one was awesome, really pro family message to the movie. The next 2 were fun, but not as good.

Each movie made a ton of money worldwide ticket sales, DVD sales and TV viewing. So, I was surprised it is taking 10 years to make another.

New kids have to be apart of the show. It should show the parents and the old kids as trained spys, but they will have to train the new kids to save the world. I love the the old kids as actors, so I hope they will return.

They would probably have kids of their own by now, right? It's been like 15 years since the last, so that could be a nice twist. Bring back Stallone and I'm sold.

Spy Kids - 3/2001
Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams - 8/7/2002
Spy Kids 3D: Game Over - 7/25/2003

Each cost about $35 million and made about $103 each in USA.

DRG

Well, considering Alexa Vega looks like this now:


Definitely no longer a 'kid'.

RocShemp

Holy crap. She grew up nicely.

Travis McClain

Haven't seen the third yet, but I thought the first two were very entertaining. They managed to avoid a lot of the pitfalls of stories that put kids in action roles typically reserved for adults. What the hell; I'm in.

Is it in 4-D?

RocShemp

Am I the only person who hasn't seen Repo! The Genetic Opera?

The Valeyard

Maybe. I thought she was great in Repo.

LosingMyMind

She's in DLB's upcoming Mother's Day, too.

Solid Snake

I haven't either. It's on my long list of films I want to see.

MrSmearkase

She was on The Middle a few weeks back, and my wife didn't believe me that it was her. She looks great!

RichC2

Also considering Daryl Sabara's last movie role, in World's Greatest Dad, I don't think I'd be able to see him in anything overly kid friendly again

RocShemp

Well he did appear in several episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place prior to that movie. So he could cameo in this movie.

I can see him and Alexa Vega's characters as parents (married to Emily Osmet and whoever portrayed her brother respectively) training their kids as new recruits. Get Banderas and Gugino as the heads of the agency with a cameo from a retired George Clooney and your set.

Groucho

He was also in the Halloween remake, which is slightly more kid-friendly than WGD.

Iron_Giant

I can see her a little in the face, but hard to tell from the picture.

Maybe if I would have seen the movie, I might have noticed it was her.

Solid Snake

well...yeah...just..yeah...

I think child services is going to need to talk to the mother for taking a baby on a mission.

I absolutly hated the first. That was the movie that make me start avoiding movies meant for kids/teens. Never saw 2 & 3 & will not be seeing this one either.

Sonny Corinthos

I enjoyed the first two films. The 3rd one was awful IMO. I will give this one a shot.

PopcornTreeCt

Honestly, I thought they were up to 7 or 8 movies by now.

RocShemp

I saw the trailer a while back. It looks aweful. The kids have no charisma whatsoever. I enjoyed the first two and parts of the third but this looks Sharkboy & Lavagirl bad.

sauce07

I thought Spy Kids was great, even went back and saw the special edition when it was released. Saw SK2 opening day and loved it. Then SK3 rolls around and pretty much sucked. SK4 doesn't look much better.

^My feelings exactly - somewhere between 2 and 3, Robert Rodriguez lost the ability to make kids movies that appealed to adults as well - everything since has just been little kiddie shit and part 4 has a real 'Shorts' vibe to it. Fuck that.

Solid Snake

Sharkboy and Lavagirl made it's budget but...yeah, I dunno

Sharkboy and Lavagirl w/ a budget of $50 million
Domestic: $39,177,684 56.4%
+ Foreign: $30,248,282 43.6%
= Worldwide: $69,425,966

Shorts (totally forgot this one existing) w/ a budget of $20 million
Domestic: $20,919,166 72.2%
+ Foreign: $8,053,342 27.8%
= Worldwide: $28,972,508


I dunno if RR should make kids' films anymore.
