Robert Rodriguez is busy at South By Southwest pimping Predators – the first film he is just producing and leaving the directing chores to Nimrod Antal – let slip his next project: Spy Kids 4. Rodriguez said it will have a new group of kids though some of the stars of the first three films may drop in.

Rodriguez was at the Alamo Ritz Friday night with Antal and Predators star Adrien Brody for a soldout "first look" at the action film, set for release in early summer.
