Hey folks, Harry here with pics and info about SPY KIDS. Apparently Dimension or Miramax or somebody has decided to let the cat out of the bag apparently. There were some specific things that Robert Rodriguez did not want out about SPY KIDS... Some twists that took it from the regular world of Spy films, and into the world of fantasy.

To be honest, I'm not entirely surprised. They're the same company that let the cat out of the bag that Vampires are in FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, even though the whole point of the film was to make you think that it was a crime film... Can you imagine if UNIVERSAL had advertised PSYCHO as being a movie where Anthony Perkins plays a ... well, I can't bring myself to spoil it now... and that's just cause three might be some that DON'T KNOW.

These elements were... according to early trailer concepts cut by Rodriguez, going to be completely hidden... But now, someone at Dimension released these press-release photos to FRENCH PREMIERE, who... as they are surely unaware... well the pooch is out of the bag.

Sigh. I will not publish the key photos here... not because of some deal with Robert, but I really do feel these characters and particulars should arrive as they do in the film... at their own speed. Just as I feel Gollum and the Balrog should be introduced visually over the course of that series... However, I can shed some light on some of this...

If you want to see all of the pics, go to This Page, but be prepared for quite a visual spoiler

The below is a simple guide to some of the basic characters... Up first is Floog as played by Alan Cumming. Floog is a strange genius inventor host of the world's most popular childrens television program. He's very eccentric and quite the recluse. There is more to him than meets the eye.

Next up is Danny Trejo, who plays Machete... an independent operator of the world's greatest spy shop. Where spies round the world... terrorists... foreign governments... they all come and bow down to Machete. He's the guy he really makes all the stuff that Q takes credit for. He's a bit insane... possibly dangerous and possibly evil. We'll just have to see.

Our next two images come in the shape of Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino. They portray the parents of the SPY KIDS. Think of them as James Bond and TRIPLE X, but married and settled down. They are on a mission that protects and holds the life of all the people of earth in a balance.

And below... Below you will find Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara. These... these are the Spy Kids. They will go on quite an adventure. If everything has come together as Robert wanted it to, you will be quite thrilled by the adventure that these two are set upon. I'm just praying that DIMENSION doesn't place 'Mr Voice' over the trailer... and that they come up with a more distinctive and powerful voice for the trailer... Perhaps... DANNY TREJO!!! Sorry... I am a huge Danny Trejo fan, and having him be the trailer narrator would give the film an immediate COOLER THAN DISNEY feel... beyond just the images that'll be on display.

At the French Premiere site, you'll see characters and shots that really are inappropriate if you are trying to at all protect the second half of the film... Of course... maybe they have decided to go with a... 'let it all hang out' sort of way... while the images don't show all that is cool... they give a hint of what the film is capable of... and really... well, whatever. Expect the first theatrical teaser trailer sometime around the time that THE GRINCH opens. That's my bet.
