i still do not understand what possessed so many well-respected actors to do the spy kids movies like
did they pay really well? did you want these beautiful, terrible movies to be a blemish on your career forever?? why
antonio banderas did so many high-profile movies then in spy kids he looked like this
tony shalhoub has won multiple emmys but he did spy kids and
even fucking george clooney wtf
steve buscemi is pretty goofy but still
salma hayek’s pigtails in this wow
elijah wood was the lead in a movie that’s tied for the largest number of oscars of all time and he played a character creatively named “THE GUY”
sylvester stallone is like a cultural icon and he played not one but FOUR ridiculously dressed weirdos
alan cumming is the only one i can understand
Are you saying spy kids wasn’t a masterpiece my fellow blogger????
Source?????
i will not tolerate this slander
“When I was doing ‘Spy Kids,’ the Weinsteins asked me […] ’Why are you making
the characters Hispanic? It doesn’t make any sense, isn’t this supposed
to be for everybody?’ ‘Well, it’s based on my family.’
[…]
People have come up to me for a lot of years since and said ‘You changed
my kids’ whole life. They see little kids who are Hispanic that are
spies and they saw your name as the writer and director and you changed
their idea of what their future could be.’ The ripple effects of that
one movie were enormous.”
- Robert Rodriguez (x)
Also maybe sometimes actors like to play roles that are silly and fun? I can’t imagine any of these actors didn’t know exactly what they were getting into and, based on their performance, didn’t have a good time
CRITICAL INFORMATION: The entire concept of Spy Kids came from Robert Rodriguez’s desire to make an action film he could watch with his kids. With intentions like that, it’s pretty easy to understand why so many famous actors with kids of their own would be interested in it.
Let us not forget the Machete cross over…
I’ve heard so many actors (who tend to do Serious Adult Roles) say they took on roles in kids films, family friendly films, just because they wanted their kids to be able to watch them in a film they’d enjoy and was OK for their kids to watch. Gary Oldman and Robbie Coltrane in Harry Potter. Johnny Depp in POTC.
Also Spy Kids is an amazing film and Robert Rodriguez is a fantastic director so I can completely understand why the actors agreed to be part of it.
Banderas and Hayek had breakout roles in Rodriguez’s Desperado so that’s why they, specifically, are there
for that matter, George Clooney was fantastic in From Dusk til Dawn, another Rodriguez movie and one that helped establish Clooney’s excellence in the “morally bankrupt thief but still kind of a good guy at heart and also sexy” that he’d later perfect in Out of Sight and Ocean’s 11
all Rodriguez really had to do was sign on those three and all the other actors would be like HEY CAN I COME TOO because they’d know it was gonna be a fun time
FUN FACT: Robert Rodriguez has confirmed that all of his movies take place in the same universe. Danny Trejo stars in the movie Machete which is super violent and he plays the same character in Spy Kids, he’s just reframed as their uncle but he is still named Machete
the pics were funny but the facts were real deal
I’ve only watched one Spy Kids movie but it was a really joyous experience? So I don’t know, why WOULDN’T these actors want to be in them?? It’s a good thing to have a little diversity on your resume??? Also sometimes actors want to have fun????
