LOS ANGELES: Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez is reportedly planning to reboot his beloved family adventure series “Spy Kids”.
Skydance Media optioned the rights to reboot the Spy Kids property with IP owner Spyglass Media Group.
Rodriguez will write and direct the new movie, which is said to revolve around the activities of a multicultural family much like the original films, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Skydance will act as the lead studio, overseeing development and production.
Spyglass’ Gary Barber and Peter Oillataguerre will executive produce.
The original franchise launched in 2001 with Spy Kids, starring Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino as parents and retired spies.
