STX Comedy 'My Spy'
‘My Spy’ tells the story of hardened CIA operative JJ and his most recent assignment. He has been demoted and as such has been forced into an undercover mission to watch a 9-year-old girl’s family. This precocious 9-year-old girl, named Sophie, finds him when she discovers hidden cameras in her apartment. Using her tech savviness, she locates where the surveillance operation is set. This leads to her discovery of him and her blackmail of him to learn spy skills.
JJ must do all he can to teach Sophie to be a spy so that she will not blow his cover. While trying to get out of the situation, he finds it to be nearly impossible. Sophie’s charm and wit makes JJ no match for the young girl, and could lead to a friendship no one would have expected. Through reluctance, any number of things can end up happening with these two.
‘My Spy’ stars Dave Bautista as main character JJ, and Chloe Coleman as secondary main character Sophie. The movie also stars Kristen Schaal and Ken Jeong as Bobbi Ault and Kim Trang respectively. The film is being directed by Peter Segal who was also responsible for the directing of the spy comedy ‘Get Smart.’ The script was penned by Jon and Erich Hoeber who were responsible for the screenplay of the movie ‘Red.’ The film is being released through STXfilms and will release in theaters to the public on March 13, 2020.
