Jul 31 2008'Austin Powers 4' Becoming More Than Just an Empty Threat
Well, society, we made it. The Love Guru has come and gone from theaters, and, from what I can tell, relations with India and humor itself still exist despite Mike Myers' attempts at destroying them. But looks like it's out of the (someone getting hit by a curry-filled) frying pan, into the fire (which is being lit on someone's fart, who is a midget in a wig). Myers is reportedly working on an Austin Powers spinoff:
Mike Myers has started writing Austin Powers 4 which will be an homage to his father. "It's very personal with a father and son theme loosely based on his own life," an insider tells me. As Myers has previously said, this fourth installment of the super spy spoof movie series will focus on Austin's arch-villain Dr. Evil, who was based on Blofeld of the Bond films. But what hasn't been known is that the AP4 plot is really about Dr. Evil and his son (introduced already as Scott Evil, played by Seth Green). Myers is penning his idea with Baby Mama's Mike McCullers, who collaborated with Myers on Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Austin Powers 3: Goldmember.
For a big "A.P." fan like me, only two words spring to mind. Yeeeeaaaaaah, baby!!!*

Wow, it's being written with the same guy who did Austin 2 AND 3? Gee, can't possibly imagine how badly this is going to SUCK ASS!!!

You guys are crazy : P****All 3 AP movies are hilarious... I wonder if Seth Green is going to be in this one or will they use the younger Scott Evil and have some kid play the part? But, what is up with all these movies coming out that have the "other story" (example: Like the story of Dr. Evil's son... or whatever) for the movie line.... looks like all the studios are running out of ideas.

The best part about Myers doing a part 4 is that all the retards and dim wits that enjoyed (and made successes of) movies like Date Movie, Meet the Spartans, every Eddie Murphy movie of the last twenty years, and Austin Powers 2 & 3, will surely run out to catch this new flaming pile of Canadian powered horse shit!

Can you really compare AP to movies like Date Movie and Meet The Spartans? Because I thought those movies were fucking terrible but I think Austin Powers is fucking hilarious.

I like Mike Meyers, but man, this horse has been dead for a while now. If he wants to illustrate and explore his relationship with his father in his writing why not try something new and *gasp* serious for a change? I can't see any good coming from this.

There were 3 already? I only thought there had been two and I happily managed to avoid both of them.

I thought they already covered the whole father/son *makes quote gesture* relationship thing */makes quote gesture again*.

If nothing else, I look forward to seeing Scott Evil again.

Momboelitist, I thought just the same: didn't they cover the topic already?? But apparently, this spell out as "very personal with a father and son theme loosely based on his [Myers'] own life"... lol, I'd like to see it just for what it could possibly be! For being evil, Dr. Evil is at very least quite a funny character. I wish all villains would share his sense of humor.
Or the Joker's.
Yours,
