Perhaps encouraged by Netflix’s relative success We can be heroes—A semi-sequence from his 2005 film The adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl—Director Robert Rodriguez is trying to return to his first aggressively colorful and child-oriented hit series. According Deadline, Rodriguez is working with Skydance Media and Spyglass Media Group to develop a new Spy Kids film, with Rodriguez planning to write and direct. The report says that “it will revolve around the activities of a multicultural family”, which seems to imply that it will be a different family from the original ones (because I would say otherwise), but it seems safe to assume that at least some members of this family will be spies and that some kids will use crazy spy devices to embark on some kind of adventure. That’s what these films tend to be about.
Rodriguez recently worked on The Mandalorian and will go back to Star Wars for the spin-off Boba Fett’s Book, but if this new Spy Kids is a success on a par with the originals, maybe it will restore your industry prestige enough for someone to give you money to make This one Alita: Battle Angel sequence that he had his heart decided.
