LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Jessica Alba is in negotiations to star in Robert Rodriguez’s “Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World.”
The Dimension movie is a reboot of sorts for the moneymaking franchise, which initially starred Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara as the kids of superspy parents (Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino). Rodriguez wrote and directed each installment.
Vega and Sabara are no longer kids — Vega is nearly 23 and recently engaged — but Rodriguez wanted to continue the series.
The new movie centers on Alba as a retired spy who has been reactivated. The actress, mother of a toddler in real life, will be playing the mother of a baby and two preteen stepchildren.
The actors cast in the preteen roles will be the new Spy Kids.
Other roles seeking to be filled include Alba’s husband, a slightly nerdy investigative reporter, and the villain, known as the Time Keeper, whose goal it is to stop time.
It is expected that Banderas, Vega and Sabara will return in supporting roles.
Like most of Rodriguez’s movies, “Kids” will shoot in his hometown of Austin, Texas. The movie, with a budget of less than $30 million, is eyeing a start next month.
The picture, which also has been known as “Spy Kids 4: Armageddon,” will be in 3D.
The new “Kids” marks the third time Alba has worked with Rodriguez. The actress starred in 2005’s “Sin City” and appears in “Machete,” Rodriguez’s low-budget grindhouse flick that opens September 3.

Sexy Latina Jessica Alba was left shocked and stunned on TV on Tuesday night when she learned she’s more European than Native American.
The Fantastic Four star agreed to take a DNA test prior to her appearance on comedian George Lopez’s late-night show, and felt sure genealogy experts would discover her ancestors were more indigenous American than any other group.
Lopez sent his guest’s saliva swab off to the DNA Diagnostics Center in Cincinnati, Ohio - and revealed the results during Alba’s appearance.
He told the actress, “You are 13 per cent indigenous American and you are 87 per cent European.” A shocked Alba responded, “Really? Wow!”
With her mother and father watching from the studio audience, the actress added, “That’s crazy… Does Spain count, because Alba comes from Spain…? Is Spain Latina?”
Lopez agreed to hand over all the DNA test results in private, so Alba, whose mother is French and Danish, could learn more about her genealogy.
