"Mike Myers is in negotiations with New Line Cinema to make a fourth "Austin Powers" film, an individual familiar with the situation confirmed to TheWrap.


It's been nine years since the last "Austin Powers" movie. The individual told TheWrap that a deal is expected."

Now that Dr. Evil and Austin Powers are brothers, do they team up against Scott?

It's been a LONG time coming. Hope it gets made.


CAN'T. WAIT.

Really enjoyed the first two films. Hopefully they come up with some new material and not just reuse the same gags.

New villain? Scotty is a Powers son/nephew/grandson.

Maybe AP4 is exactly what Mike Myers needs to get back on the horse.

The Love Guru was one of the most horrible, cringe-inducing movies ever made...

Yes, a cash-grab sequel to a tired franchise is exactly what the irrelevant actor needs.

While Austin Powers did make me laugh, I can't disagree here.

 

[yankeeman]

I really like these movies, and am always happy to see another coming.

Anytime you are in the mood for a funny semi-stupid, campy, but extremely clever movie, check them out!!!

I definitley have to give them ago soon.

 

[Rach]

The first one was clever, funny, and just plain original. The sequels were progressively worse. I have no desire to see a fourth one!

 

[R Harkness]

I liked all of them (although not slavishly) and actually found the 3rd one to probably be the funniest over all. It's rare that I'm reduced to tears of laughter, but the "Austin and mini-me" shadow show behind the medical curtain has put me there consistently.


I also agree, though, that this seems a rather desperate move on Myer's part, clearly motivated by his more recent failures at the box office.

It's a shame this wasn't made in to a movie by Myers:

One of his funniest characters ever.

I thought he tried at one point and ran into some kind of contractual trouble (don't remember the details).


I loved all of the Austin Powers movies and would really look forward to another installment.

Soooo true. One can only imagine the bizarre, surreal directions that could have taken. And for those of us who loved the Sprockets character, the fact that a rave review of Myer's script for the Sprockets movie circulated the net

made that movie's demise even more disheartening.

A Sprockets movie was a few weeks away from production when Meyers backed out, claiming that he realized it was a terrible idea and the script (which he wrote) was crap. Universal sued him for breach of contract. They eventually reached a settlement, part of which was that Meyer's agreed to star in The Cat in the Hat.

he needs a new idea - inglorious fat basterds

IIRC, Myers said something to the effect his friends told him the script sucked, so he backed out of the filming of it.

Don't know if it was actually the truth or if he was just blowing smoke up everyone's a$$.

My fav Myers was the Irish Dad in Axe Murderer. 'Lets Get Pussed!' 'Look at the Heed!'
