So the Spy Kids franchise reboots and this newly released trailer is out to tell us all about it. This series is for kids folks and there’s nothing wrong with that. While it all looks like a re-hash of the original ‘Spy Kids’ this film is not only shot in 3D but it was filmed in Aroma-scope. What the hell does that mean you ask me. It seems to mean they’re telling you the film will be shown in 4D and by that it means you’ll just be handed a scratch and sniff card that goes along with a prompt in the film.
Basically if you have children you’ll be forced to go see this film partially because of this rehashed gimmick. Lets hope some of the smells on the card are whiskey, steak dinners, and a top shelf escort. Thinking about it they should have one card for kids and one for adults.
The kids can enjoy the sweet scents of jellybeans, doughnuts, lasergun blasts, and wet dog while the adult card contains Jessica Alba smells for the men and Antonio Banderas scents for the women. With this marketing plan I can’t imagine this film could fail and on that note I’m off to go sniff Jessica Alba’s…
Here’s the full film synopsis:
On the surface, Marissa Cortez Wilson (Jessica Alba) has it all…married to a famous spy hunting television reporter, a new baby and intelligent twin step kids. But in reality, trying to mother Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil (Mason Cook), who clearly dont want her around, is her toughest challenge yet. Also, her husband, Wilbur (Joel McHale), wouldnt know a spy if he lived with one, which is exactly the case – Marissa’s a retired secret agent. Marissa’s world is turned upside down when the maniacal Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven) threatens to take over the planet and she’s called back into action by the head of OSS, home of the greatest spies and where the now-defunct Spy Kids division was created. With Armageddon quickly approaching, Rebecca and Cecil are thrust into action when they learn their boring stepmom was once a top agent… now the worlds most competitive ten year olds are forced to put their bickering aside and rely on their wits. With a little help from a couple of very familiar Spy Kids, Carmen (Alexa Vega) and Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara), and some mind-blowing gadgets, they just may be able to save the world and possibly bring their family together while they’re at it.
