A MESSAGE FROM “PRIME VIDEO”
Can’t make it to Europe this summer? No problem 🌍
My Spy The Eternal City is coming out on Prime Video this Thursday 7/18! The movie will make you want to be transported to the stunning cities of Italy, so we created this list of places that feel like Europe in Los Angeles 🌞
The eagerly awaited follow-up to 2020’s action-comedy, My Spy The Eternal City is a feel-good family adventure that takes you through Italy’s most historic sites!
It stars JJ (Dave Bautista) as a father chaperoning his new stepdaughter, Sophie’s (Chloe Coleman), high school choir through some of Europe’s most storied destinations, only to find that he and Sophie have become unwitting pawns in a terrorist plot that could end the world as we know it.
