Comedy veterans Anna Faris (“Scary Movie”), Craig Robinson (“Hot Tub Time Machine”) and Flula Borg (“Pitch Perfect 2”) are set to join Dave Bautista in the “My Spy” sequel “My Spy: The Eternal City” at Amazon Studios.
“Get Smart” helmer Pete Segal is returning to direct and scribes Jon and Erich Hoeber to write the sequel, which reunites Bautista with his former co-stars Chloe Coleman, Kristen Schaal and Ken Jeong.
In the sequel, a now-teenage Sophie (Coleman) convinces JJ (Bautista) to chaperone her school choir trip to Italy. They both unwittingly end up pawns in an international terrorist plot targeting CIA chief David Kim (Jeong) and his son, Collin – who is also Sophie’s best friend.
Also joining the fun in supporting roles are Billy Barratt, Taeho K, Nicola Correia-Damude, Noah Dalton Danby and Devere Rogers. Filming begins this month ahead of the movie being made available to stream on Prime Video worldwide.
The first “My Spy” was intended as a theatrical release in 2020 until the pandemic saw the project ended up being sent directly to streaming – Amazon Prime Video.
The film, which follows a CIA agent who finds himself at the mercy of a precocious 9-year-old girl in a family that he and his tech support are surveilling whilst undercover, became a hit. ScreenEngine reported that the title ended up being the third most-watched SVOD released film of 2020.
