The Spy Kids™ Team Up with Serious for Another Fun-Filled Adventure
New York, NY (May 2003) – Serious USA, Inc. has signed a deal with Dimension Films to create another mind-blowing set of CD Cardz – based on the highly anticipated film from director Robert Rodriguez, Spy Kids™ 3D: Game Over, which hits theaters on July 25, 2003. In a sequel to last year’s set based on Spy Kids™ 2: The Island of Lost Dreams, the new release will contain four trading card-sized CD Cardz and once again fans are taken on adventures without ever having to leave their seats! However this time the set comes in a funky gadget all of its own – a cube of individual jewel cases! Serious Spy Kids will also be delighted to discover a whole new dimension to their computer screens with 3-D glasses included in the cube and which allow kids to enjoy special 3-D sections within their Spy Kids™ 3-D: Game Over Cardz.
The Spy Kids™ 3D: Game Over CD Cardz offer hours of interactive fun and enticing visuals with each card featuring a combination of colorful characters: The Spy Kids, (Juni and Carmen Cortez); The Beta Testers; The Grown-Ups; and The Bad Guys. They are packed with dynamic 3D movie imagery and trailers, fun facts and trivia, top-secret behind-the-scenes footage, as well as exclusive email-able postcardz, wallpapers and screensavers! Altogether cool collectibles that are sure to be a hit with Spy Kids™ fans everywhere!
Vince Allen, VP of Production, Serious USA, expresses his enthusiasm over the new Spy Kids™ CD Cardz, “Working with Miramax/Dimension Films has once again proven to be an exciting and rewarding experience. The Spy Kids™ 3D: Game Over CD Cardz possess elements of intrigue, surprise and humor, (including the fun antics of the precocious Spy Kids™!) as well as a unique 3D experience – so this set of CD Cardz is certain to entertain the adventure-seeking family!”
Building on the gaming theme of the film’s storyline, users are challenged with trivia and puzzles that are key to unlocking further content and prizes. The CD Cardz also have a bilingual element to their interactivity. Through a special translator gadget, kids and parents can decide whether to navigate the CD Cardz in English or Spanish!
Spy Kids™ 3:D Game Over CD Cardz will be available late June 2003 for a suggested retail price of $14.95. Recommended for ages 8 and up.
