Robert Rodriguez Plans Spy Kids 4

SHARE:

Adjust text size:



American director Robert Rodriguez, 37, might do another sequel to SPY KIDS, but stars Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara won't be on the cast list.

"We might do an animated, straight-to-DVD thing but that would be it", Rodriguez declared. "Couldn't do a live action thing - kids are too big", said the director.

Meanwhile, a proper special edition of the first Spy Kids is in plan.

"I think that comes out at Christmas. Yeah, I just did the commentary for it and they shot a whole bunch of new interviews with the kids and stuff and the actors and they've got all the deleted scenes and things that never made it to special edition", the "Sin City" filmmaker said in an interview for Moviehole.net.

After the sequel to Sin City, which is already in pre-production, Rodriguez will do "Grind House", which he aims to play like an old 70's drive-in movie, with Quentin Tarantino, whom he worked with for the movie 'From Dusk Till Dawn".

I know it is going to be a spy kids 4 because i looked it up and they will be in it as the kids of some parents although the parents might be different. There will also be a transformers 3 but Megan fox is not in it

I agree with Kevin and have loved the past Spy Kids movies. Animation? Come on......... really

I think you should put alexa vega and daryl sabra in Spy Kids 4 too! I
love the Spy Kids movies and so do my sister and friends. I was so
hoping for a Spy Kids 4 with Alexa and daryl. With them in it, the
movies awesome! And animation . . . Spy Kids, doesn't really mix. I
mean seriously. Please. : (

they should only make a spy kids 4 5 6 or anymore only if the kids died.JUST NO ANIMATION!if they have any concern for spy kids they will not give rights for spy kids 4 or any other animation for spy kids or sharkboy or lava girl.if they do just make it a completly new series and characters.

Comment #10 by: Mikey Tate on 22 Sep 2008, 15:31 UTC reply to this comment

Spy kids are supposed to be kids! Not young adults! I'm glad he's not including Daryl and Alexa in the film!


Comment #11 by: liln on 28 Sep 2008, 15:39 UTC reply to this comment

Comment #12 by: Shania on 31 Oct 2008, 23:16 UTC reply to this comment

I was once doing a SPY Kids quiz and it was said that Ingrid was pregnant and Carmen was turnig 16.She has a boyfriend named Rex,Rex s father Doctor X and Gregorio are enemies.But I didnt finish the quiz because when you get one wrong its all the way back to the beginning.Oh,well good bye!


Comment #13 by: Seerat on 31 Dec 2008, 21:21 UTC reply to this comment

Please Robert! Dont make Spykids 4 in ANIMATION! My entire family jus LOVES Alexa and Darl! As a matter of fact, I'm watching the second one right now, the fight scene. I'm having a great time! Lol, "Do what I showed you last night!" That was funny. "Triple back flip!" aha! Good times! Also, make sure that Gary and Gerti would be in the fourth one as well. I wonder if Gary will be nice, especially to Carmen and Juni. lol, "Wait till I tell mom, you tried to take over the world again!" Omgosh, you made some great movies Robert, please DONT make the fourth one with animation, let alone DO NOT take out Alexa and Darl. You can always do Spy Teens. Please think it over, i think a Spy Teens, sounds and would be pretty cool! Jus think about it. Alexa and Darl love ya and ur directing skills! PLease make a fourth one with the ORIGINAL stars! Thanks Robert! : )


Comment #14 by: Seerat on 31 Dec 2008, 21:28 UTC reply to this comment

I almost forgot! My favorite part of the second one is the Music Video at the end! I thought that was pretty cool! I totally loved it and always will! I think the special features rocked! Especially the "Total Access 24/7: A Day in the Life of Spy Kids". THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!! Aha the bloopers are funny too! These kind of movies are so rare, and thanks to directors like you Robert, we get these movies. It really shows how the actors and actress try to get their lines straight, and seeing all the behind the scene things are my favorite, after the movie that is. Robert, please please please make another movie jus like the other three! Great, funny, and jus amazing!


Comment #15 by: Hollieee on 18 Jan 2009, 09:26 UTC reply to this comment

hey, without them 2, ITS NOT SPY KIDS anymore :/
Robert, put them in spy kids 4! it couldn't be 4 if there not there..
its too amazing to be ended in animation!


Comment #16 by: Daniel on 19 Jan 2009, 17:39 UTC reply to this comment

Daniel Wooo


Comment #17 by: Mike on 24 Feb 2009, 02:23 UTC reply to this comment

I enjoyed watching Spy Kids back in the day. I remember Spy Kids 2 in theaters. Man, the line was LONG. I still watch it sometimes on Disney Channel!

I implore you to cut the animation and stick with the classics. Like someone said before me, do a Spy Teens. Make it a trilogy if you want. Just as long as it's live-action.

I give all 3 Spy Kids movies 5 stars!


Comment #18 by: grant on 07 Apr 2009, 21:10 UTC reply to this comment

animation? for alexa and daryl? i dont think so,make a spy teens if u need to just no animation :(.




spy kids is a one great movie all 3 are great! :).


Comment #19 by: Charlotte Fisher on 17 Apr 2009, 19:37 UTC reply to this comment

Im 11 and i love spy kids it wont be the same if Alexa and Darl arnt in it!!! and im sure thats what everyone is thinking from the looks of those other coments!Plus dont make it in animation pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss! it will just wreck it and i dont think anyone eles will want to watch it if you change it!

Comment #23 by: Eddie on 21 Jun 2009, 23:47 UTC reply to this comment

That may be the case but who could replace them. And anime... please the idea stinks.


Comment #24 by: Jousa on 30 Jun 2009, 06:02 UTC reply to this comment

spy kids rock... u dnt hav 2 do animation, cause as an incredible director you should know dat its not spy kids material. alexa and daryl r da only spy kids dat people love and will love. just imagine the response you will get when you put 2 newbies in the sequal. try 2 make this one work rodriguez. jousa


Comment #25 by: Elle on 15 Jul 2009, 01:58 UTC reply to this comment

OMG i hope he makes a 4th but NO ANIMATION!!!
i agree with everyone but i always have problems...Emily Osment is like, 17 now (she plays Gerti) but never mind u can do spy kids grown up! (no one stays a kid forever right?)


Comment #26 by: Brandon on 21 Jul 2009, 21:24 UTC reply to this comment

Well, spy kids was great, but It left on with a cliff hanger. What happened next? To Family is what they said, as they work as a family, but Game Over was not mostly about spy gear and equipment. It was mostly about video game fantasy. Now, Alexis and Darl by now are grown up, and so are the other people. Start with an interlude of the previous three movies, and then work your way up to now where carmen has a son, and junie has a daughter, (and of course, seprate husband or wife) or visa versa, and carmen and junie keep in touch because their family, just like they said in the original movie. Those children of theirs are the next generation of spy kids. But the catch: They don't want to be spies. Their generation however is all using sophisticated technology far beyond our own now, like in the future, and most of the old spy stuff are now out for general use. But one evil crafty villain uses those old gadgets and gismo to create the ultimate gadget robot, and starts the process to build an army of robot gadgets so he can conquer the world. It is up to the children of the spy kids to set things straight with the latest and greatest technology. But this time, technology is not going to get them very far, and family does not even seem to be enough. They are going to need something much more powerful. Something of the OLD world. Something like magic... the next generation of spy kids have come! Will the children of our greatest spy hero's suceed?

Anyway, that is my opinion.


Comment #27 by: laureen on 22 Jul 2009, 19:54 UTC reply to this comment

a spy kids 4 movie would be amazing.but i do agree that alexa and daryl might be a little too old to be spy kids.and an animated spy kids would just be too awkward.


Comment #28 by: bob on 27 Jul 2009, 11:32 UTC reply to this comment

I thnk either make a new spy kids with the real actors, who cares if they are older, or use different actors and make a prequiel


Comment #29 by: Aimee on 07 Aug 2009, 20:26 UTC reply to this comment

I think Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara should be in spy kids 4!!
without them it's not really spy kids i mean why does it matter if there grown up??? I mean Harry Potter all 3 of them made all the movies..
and Alexa can pass for like 15 16 you've got to have them on this one!


Comment #30 by: Spy girl on 30 Aug 2009, 12:51 UTC reply to this comment

Sweet I like the song Game over! I like Garry hes cool! I have to go but make the next one sweeter!!!


Comment #31 by: theresa123 on 05 Oct 2009, 03:29 UTC reply to this comment

What!I think Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara have to be in Spy Kids 4 BECAUSE it can't be Spy Kids if there are no KIDS!And NO ANIMATION!!!!


Comment #32 by: Springer on 05 Nov 2009, 06:25 UTC reply to this comment

To be honest, even though Alexa and Daryl may be too big for Spy Kids 4, they could atleast do 1 more movie thats non-animated. Animation just doesnt give that family love like the original ones. They also wont be as funny with a completely different person that plays Juni and Carmen Cortez. What do you think people will do and say when they hear someone else's voice, even though its animation? You have shown too many movies with the same people to just change them. With time, people have gotten use to hearing Alexa and Daryl play as the two young Cortez'. Same goes for the rest of the actors and Cortez' family. If you show something thats the exact opposite of what you have been showing, you'r going to get the exact opposite reaction of you'r fans that you have been getting about the originals. Even though im nearly an adult, I still love that family feeling and compassion thats in the originals. When I see something that Im a fan of completely change before my eye's, my only reaction is turning my eye's and back the other way. Listen to you'r fans, they are the ones you should listen to. To decide on you'r own, even though you have done such a good job with the originals, is sorta selfish towards you'r fans.


Comment #33 by: Aidan on 23 Nov 2009, 19:27 UTC reply to this comment

plz don't make an animation like stuart little 3 you will ruin the series and the movie could be them as adult spies?!


Comment #34 by: anyomonous on 29 Nov 2009, 03:56 UTC reply to this comment

I think they should put them in the movie still just as parents and their kids (when they have some) can be the spy kids.


Comment #35 by: pablo on 02 Dec 2009, 19:22 UTC reply to this comment

I thick for new spy kids movie you should make junie and carmen more older. Carmen could have her own family in Miami FL. and junie on Washington DC. Junie could be a agent for the pressident and carmen a theacher. they could have kids and that where all is going to begand you find a person that could kiknap then then junie and carmen could jone together and make a time to get there kids back and get revench of how toke them.


Comment #36 by: cherisse gomez on 09 Dec 2009, 18:38 UTC reply to this comment

I think you should put alexa vega and daryl sabara in the next spy kids 4 because they are and only ''BEST'' spy kids characters,and i think your fans are trying to tell you that,to please put them back in the movie,i mean NO ONE can replace them!!!!!!!!!come on please Robert please, just listen to them and hear what they're trying to tell you please!!!.


your#1 fan cherisse.


Comment #37 by: asjad on 14 Dec 2009, 07:01 UTC reply to this comment

i really want to see spy kids 4 but with same characters


Comment #38 by: davidvega on 02 Jan 2010, 03:41 UTC reply to this comment

IT WILL SUK IF IS ANIMATION... I KNOW ALEXA AND DARYL ARE A LIL TO OLD BUT THEY CAN COME AS TRAINERS FOR NEW SPY KIDS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT .... TO HELP THE NEW GENERATION OR SOMETHING IDK BUT WITH OUT THEM TWO ITS NOT GOING TO BE THAT GREAT


Comment #39 by: Jose85 on 03 Apr 2010, 05:37 UTC reply to this comment

Hola soy admirador de Alexa Vega y todos en Mexico amamos las peliculas de Robert Rodríguez,asi que no nos decepciones al no poner a Alexa Vega y a Daryl en SPY KIDS 4.


Comment #40 by: Devon Johnston on 22 Apr 2010, 22:24 UTC reply to this comment

Heyy guys i dont think it should be animated either but i really dont because i actually have a chance to be in the fourth movie because i got an email about it and they said they need need children to be in it so my mom is gonna call this number i have on my phoneand im gonna fly all the way from Pennsylvania to California just to be in a movie. How cool is that and im not lieing!


Comment #41 by: annoymous on 24 Apr 2010, 17:49 UTC reply to this comment

ya i agree with devon cuz i got an offer for it too and i would really like to be in it. but i still think it would suck if it waz animation. i dont think it would be all that bad it other actors were in it, ya it would be different, but it would be a change. its notlike the world is gonna come to an end or anything just because the two main characters changed. just because it changes a little doesnt mean its gonna ruin the whole movie.


Comment #42 by: Anoyimous on 30 Apr 2010, 18:03 UTC reply to this comment

no way those two are part of the film you can not get rid of them. even if they have grown up!!!

Comment #42.1 by: BOYCOTTING SPYKIDS 4 on 15 Sep 2010, 01:18 GMT

I KNOW RIGHT??? CHANGE THE CAST AND THIS MOVIE WILL BE BOYCOTTED!!!!!!!!!!!!


Comment #43 by: Agent X on 15 May 2010, 05:09 UTC reply to this comment

I agree with what has been previously said. Make it live-action, and if Daryl and Alexa are too old, just get a new generation of Spy Kids and possibly an appearance of Daryl and Alexa as trainers or mentors to the new kids.


Comment #44 by: Selna on 06 Jul 2010, 20:24 UTC reply to this comment

i think he should just say with the same cast. im a fan myself but when i read this i was like " are you joking!" i think if he has different cast and puts the movie in animated it wouldnt be all that great. and so what the cast b4 are old....they"re perect!!!!


Comment #45 by: spy lover on 21 Jul 2010, 07:57 UTC reply to this comment

keep the old characters in it like older and stuff but have new members of the spy group and have juni and carmen train them as they do a mission


Comment #46 by: joe on 10 Aug 2010, 02:30 UTC reply to this comment

this will be a great movie i love the spy kids series can't wait to see this but have to wait a whole year but o well


Comment #47 by: Koda Fergerson Myers on 17 Aug 2010, 14:30 UTC reply to this comment

I dont like the fact that Ive seen the rumored Daryl Sabera as Juni on www.imdb.com but ppl are saying its not true. Heck bring back Juni and Carmen as Adults and have their kids fight for once. That would be an awesome story


Comment #48 by: spy kids super fan on 01 Sep 2010, 21:03 UTC reply to this comment

he shuould make about junis and carmens kids now so like carmen and juni can be alduts

Comment #48.1 by: BOYCOTTING SPYKIDS 4 on 15 Sep 2010, 01:19 GMT

BETTER KEEP THE OLD ACTORS OR IM BOYCOTTING!! AND I KNOW A LOT OF POEPLE WHO WATCH IT AND I WILL TELL THEM ALL TO NOT GO TO THE THEATRE OR BUY THE DVD!!!


Comment #49 by: tarajunki on 14 Sep 2010, 21:15 UTC reply to this comment

No,sorry..you CAN NOT HAVE SPY KIDS WITHOUT ALEXA AND DARYL...it would be blasphemy.

And..an aminated version would not be a good idea. Just let the Spy Kids films lie as they are..Wonderful movies and great memories.


Comment #50 by: BOYCOTTING SPYKIDS 4 on 15 Sep 2010, 01:17 UTC reply to this comment

Comment #52 by: spanky on 20 Sep 2010, 00:01 UTC reply to this comment

realy!? 4 movies....WOW! but the animation part......>:(


Comment #53 by: Nate K on 11 Nov 2010, 02:29 UTC reply to this comment

Keep the original actors or there will be many disappointed children and even young adults im 17 and grew up on spy kids and don't animate please even though you mean to do good it will turn the movie into a ticking timebomb. Now I know i have no real say but if you do read this please dont animate I know your the director and what you say goes but if you want it to be a big hit dont animate it. It was risky enough with 3D keep that the line you dont need more


Comment #54 by: SpyKids4 on 11 Mar 2011, 20:10 UTC reply to this comment

You should put Alexa and Daryl in the movie. It won't be the same if the entire film is animation including the characters. Won't be the same without Alexa and Daryl.


Comment #55 by: avishkar on 11 Jun 2011, 13:40 UTC reply to this comment

put alexa vega back


Comment #56 by: Milanis on 15 Jun 2011, 04:56 UTC reply to this comment

Dear Mr. Robert Rodriguez,

Let me first say that your undertaking of the Spykids Series has been monumental to say the least, with your outstanding directional, motivational, music interpretation, devotion to the development of the characters, the storyline of the film and the future of the Series, is Exceptional. To even undertake the possibility of another movie, is overwhelming to the millions of fans who have been there through thick and thin, those who have made it a part of their family, those who have grown with the Cortez Family, and wish to see them prosper in the future.

I've never seen such devotion to a movie series like this, in most of my life, and since I'm older than you, and have watched a serious portion of films in my lifetime, I must say that I am very impressed at the outcome of all these comments.

The outrage of animation for the Spy Kids Series, seems to be more hurtful than helpful, and I think it would be in your Best interest, if the film stays live character, like the previous films.

I mean, if the millions of fans feel like this, then that is what amount of people will not purchase the movie, something serious to think about.

Its all we as the public can do, to state our opinion to those who are in charge, those who have the power to make a difference, like Mr. Rodriguez, to keep the series running the same, but as with kids, we know that they will eventually grow up, and the new films must portray that in effect.

Even with that in mind, you have to accept the fact, that the concept of another Spy Kids movie, may never have existed, if it weren't for the success of the film Series, and that in effect if it wasn't for Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara the two main "Kids" in the film, that may have never come true.

To create another without those that made it what it is, would be within your rights as a director, but for the millions of people out there that made it a part of their life, would be intolerable, to say the least. I believe that you Mr. Rodriguez have some very tough decisions to make. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes at this time.

For my opinion on the whole matter, I would keep Carmen and Juni, to get the old generation in, and add a couple new kids on the block to get the new or next generation involved, if they are not already.
