    They all worked with him before. So they knew it was Rodriguez’ passion project and did him a favor. Probably also a great director to work with.

        Well, he did The Nightmare Before Christmas as well as most of Tim Burton’s other films. Along with tons of other things.

    I can’t imagine many more projects tondonjust for fun.
    Thats a lot of Elijah woods horror roles, things that looked fun.
    So I’m sure that’s why they did it

      Yeah and even when actors get paid “low sums” it’s usually like six figures still, at least regarding projects like Spy Kids.

      And even if it was “just” five figures, if its above 50k and last less than a year to film, it’s more than most people make and the actors who do these aren’t exactly broke to begin with.

      Orlando Bloom “only” got 175k for the lotr trilogy.

      If someone paid me 175k to fuck about as an elf in New Zealand for 438 days, I’d be willing to suck their dick on the spot. And I don’t generally like sucking dick too much.

    Sylvester Stallone? That’s like an instant -999 for me, idk about anyone else…

    Edit: whoops I was thinking of Steven Seagal, Sylvester Stallone is great
