Good point. Keep in mind that the screened THOUSANDS of actors
 to make the first movie, plus they had to find and secure 
locations and build all the sets. So a lot of that is already
done, that shortens the process.

Plus most kids have their growth spurt between 13 and 16, so 
if they get the first couple of movies out of the way, the 
almost have to stop to let the actors growth stablize. Most 
people know that movies are filmed out of order. All the 
filming for one location is done at one time, regardless of
whether the scenes occur at the beginning of the movie or 
the end. So there really is a great deal of difficulty shoot
a movie with a kid that is in his growth spurt. In a matter 
of months, a kid can go from 4'8" to 5'8".

So my point is that they will get the first two in the can,
then give them a little growing time and then once they 
stablize they'll start filmingagain. Once they get past 
that growth spurt they can continue to play teenages until
they are 30.
