From ComingSoon.net:
"Jessica Alba is reteaming with Robert Rodriguez a third time for Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World. She has previously starred in Sin City, co-directed by Rodriguez, and has a role in the helmer's September 3 release Machete.
Heat Vision says the new Spy Kids film is a reboot of sorts. Alba will play a retired spy who has been reactivated. Her character is the mother of a baby and two preteen stepchildren.
The actors cast in the preteen roles will be the new Spy Kids. Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara played the Spy Kids in the first three films, that also starred Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino as their superspy parents.
The trade adds that other roles seeking to be filled include Alba's husband, 'a slightly nerdy investigative reporter, and the villain, known as the Time Keeper, whose goal it is to stop time.'
Banderas, Vega and Sabara are expected to return in supporting roles. Shooting is scheduled to start on the 3D film next month."
Good to see Jessica Alba doing a slightly less-serious movie. And also good to see the original Spy Kids and their dad coming back.

Robert Rodriguez: Yes, SPY KIDS; No, JETSONS
From MTV Movie Blog:
"Last September we learned that The Weinstein Co. is planning another installment of Robert Rodriguez' family sci-fi franchise Spy Kids and that it would be shot in the new digital 3D format (unlike Spy Kids 3D: Game Over, which used a form of the old anaglyph type of 3D). Well, the fact that there will be a new Spy Kids was correct, but it won't be 'Part 4' of the initial series.
At SXSW, where Robert Rodriguez just premiered footage from Predators, he revealed he's actually rebooting his own franchise and that this new Spy Kids will be his next project as a director. The Playlist shares the news from Austin, relaying that the Grindhouse co-director has set the story 10 years later and will cast all new kids for the leads.
'That maybe doesn't sound as good as it sounds,' Rodriguez acknowledged to the SXSW audience, 'but when you read the script it's very funny. It's not like we're going back to the well for a fourth time. It feels actually completely new. It's the Casino Royale to For Your Eyes Only.'
The filmmaker also noted that kids are his most loyal audience, even more than the geek crowd. This... explains why a Spy Kids redo is hitting theaters before the highly anticipated Sin City sequel, which Rodriguez simply claims 'quite possibly' is still happening....
What isn't happening, though, at least not for Rodriguez, is The Jetsons. Despite telling MTV last summer that his planned adaptation of the future-set animated series would shoot in 2010, the director confirmed that he's no longer doing it at all."
Well, I'm waiting on SOMEBODY to do this in live-action:
