The new Spy Kids is a movie to be excited about most importantly because its original viewers are no longer kids and certainly, this “reimagining” would cater for them while keeping its eyes on a new generation of kids to endear to the franchise. In these peculiar times rife with the “reimagining” of old, successful movies, how this will be done remains to be seen, but regardless, this is a project to be excited about.
