Tumblr Thread: Spy Kids Is A National Treasure


Many of us can fondly recall the ridiculous rollercoaster that was watching the various Spy Kids movies. You never really knew what you were going to get. Sometimes, you end up with George Clooney making a cameo, or you've got the national icon, Sylvester Stallone, dressed up as four different complete weirdos. Apparently, the star-studded cast can be attributed to the fact that Robert Rodriguez was such an infectiously enthusiastic filmmaker that people just loved to work with him. He also had a knack for shooting the movies in very short periods of time because so much of it was done on green screens.

Text - dasha-henshins Real answer: because Robert Rodriguez's experience working with Tarantino lead to him developing a way to make movies with essentially no budget AND made him a lot of friends in Hollywood, plus he was making these movies specifically for his kids and had such an infectious energy about it, he was a joy to work with and those big-name actors did it almost for free.

Text - tabbythekouhai Follow So, basically, they did it for fun. Is that it? a dasha-henshins Yeah, and because it was very little work, the movies were shot in record time almost entirely on greenscreen. 651,035 notes
