Austin Powers 4 Going Into Production at Warner Bros?
Ever since New Line was forced to merge with Warner Brothers a couple of weeks ago, it has left a lot of people speculating what New Line properties would still be carried on by the WB, and which ones would fall by the wayside. Well, the obvious one that is still being carried over is The Hobbit, but it seems that New Line chief Toby Emmerich has a couple of sequels in mind as well — including Wedding Crashers 2 and Austin Powers 4?!
Wedding Crashers 2 seems like a given, assuming Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn would be interested in it, but I have to admit I’m very surprised to hear about an Austin Powers 4, especially with Mike Myers’ new movie The Love Guru coming out this summer. I thought he was ready to leave that character behind, but perhaps he’s not so confident in his new project? Then again, it’s quite possible they’re planning this whole thing without him. All I’m going to say is that they better not pull off some lame ass “Son of Austin Powers” sequel. As questionable as the second and third Austin Powers movies were, that just has disaster written all over it. How would you feel about a fourth Austin Powers movie?

I loved the first (and a little bit of the second) Austin Powers, but after the third, I don’t know what I can hope for this series. I thought it had already run its course.
Posted by joe on March 14th, 2008Awesome. Love the Dr. Evil character and Fat Bastard.

Posted by Cous on March 14th, 2008I’m a Wayne’s World man myself.
Posted by Bob The Slob on March 14th, 2008Fuck this.
Posted by Andrew James on March 14th, 2008What’s with all of the Mike Myers hatred?
Posted by Rick on March 14th, 2008Nothing is inherently wrong with Mike Myers, but it just seems as though his comedies are rife with repeated jokes. If you watch all of his films, there are a few key jokes (pretending to cry laughing, scotttich accent, moley moley moley) that he repeats over and over. It’s just gotten annoying. And at this point it’s hard to bring something new to the table in terms of Austin Powers– the joke of AP is about 10 years old at this point.
Posted by Jon Rocks on March 14th, 2008I never liked Austin Powers 2 or 3, but I have to admit that I have at least a slight interest in seeing Seth Green become the series’ main villain as they sort of hinted towards at the end of the third one.
Concerning this possible new movie though, why do I feel like it might end up being a shitty prequel with a younger actor a la Dumb & Dumberer?
Posted by Rian on March 14th, 2008I am all for a return to Waynes World. How about a Waynes World 3? That sounds good? Maybe Myers should get on top of that.
Posted by Captain N on March 15th, 2008If Mike Myers is going to make a pointless, needless sequel, he should at least bring Dana Carvey out of retirement for a third Wayne’s World.
Posted by Jonathan on March 15th, 2008I didn’t like Austin Powers at all until I heard that Beyonce was going to be in the third one. So I wouldn’t mind a fouth…only if my girl B. is in it. Now say whatever you want on that!!!
Posted by Brandon on April 3rd, 2008I’m sure that most of you nixing this GREAT idea are only 9 or 10 years old and you haven’t seen any of the Austin Powers movies or the brilliance that Mike Myers is on his stint on SNL (that’s Saturday Night Live…I know that show is on way past your bedtimes, so you don’t know what SNL is).
No go clean your rooms!!!! Yeah Baby!

Posted by shut up on April 12th, 2008well fuck you guys because the movie will set records
this movie will be the best ever!!!! i dont no what your all thinking
Posted by babey on April 12th, 2008For anyone wondering, Mike Myers has given some information on this in a few different interviews. He has said the following:
1) He is interested in doing a 4th movie becasue he misses doing the characters.
2) If a 4th movie is made, it will focus more on Dr. Evil and less on Austin himself.
It is also rumored on a few sites, bot not confirmed, that this movie would bring back all three “Powers Girls”. That would be Vanessa Kensington (Liz Hurley), Felicty Shagwell (Heather Graham), and Foxy Cleopatra (Beyonce Knowles).
So do not fear a ‘Son of Austin Powers” movie because Mike would never allow such an atrocity to occur.
Groovy!

I read that Gisele would be the lead female in this movie. I hope that Seth Green gets more of a role in this film also. I am sure they will unveil some new character as well.
Posted by Mo on April 14th, 2008Okay.. everyone is SO full of Bullshit!
I mean.. Austin Powers is like the greatest movie Series.. I can recite all 3 of them. I think that they can totally do it..
Mike Myers is awesome.. and Austin Powers is Sexy..
SO put that in ur pipe and smoke it motherfuckers
Posted by Jayme on April 15th, 2008I agree with Jayme. Austin Powers is like, the best thing that ever happened to movies. I can’t for this new one to come out.
Posted by Grant on April 19th, 2008Austin Powers Haters above. Listen, the movies are funny. Yeah there is a lot of “repeat” humor. So what. The movies make you laugh, they are not classics like Scarface, Resevior Dogs, or somthing like that. It is for fun. Lighten up. I say one more then that should be it, unless time passes and no good movies are out. Then bring on Austin 5!
Posted by J on May 12th, 2008I live with my father, his girlfriend, and her son… and I swear, we must watch each of the Austin Powers’ films twice a week. Austin Powers is a legacy in my family, and the jokes just never seem to get old. I saw nothing wrong with the second or third AP films, and think they were just as genious and hilarious - if not more so - than the original. I can’t wait to see the newest addition to the series! Can you imagine, a movie where Dr. Evil is the good guy, his “rebel” son is the new Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard is now just Bastard… I just plain can’t wait for this to hit the big screen!
Posted by Static on May 18th, 2008you know ive watched austin powers so many freakin times………and it never gets old!
i’d say to mike myers, do it.make a fourth movie
dont even worry bout the first three and how its gonna be compared
just make a funny ass movie
thats gonna include “SCOTTY DONT”!
BRING ON AUSTIN POWERS 4 BABY!!!

Posted by suds on July 27th, 2008I think a new austin powes film will be shagadelic!
The three movies are hilarious and so will a new one!
His jokes are hilarious and you could watch it over and over and still laugh at them.
