Cinema has been threatening us with an “Austin Powers 4″ since.. well,
the dimish “Goldmember” was released in 2002. It’s only now, what with
Mike Myers career in the toilet (ironically, the same place he dropped
the engagement ring for his then-girlfriend before he could pop the
question; true story that one), that Myers is considering shagging
again.
HitFix reports that Myers, whose last film “The Love Guru”
was canned turd, is ‘signed, sealed, delivered’ for “Austin Powers 4″.
No
word on whether Jay Roach is directing, Michael Caine is desperate
enough to reprise his role as Powers Sr, or if Robert Wagner already has
his agent on the phone but the bigger question is, ‘Is there any joy to
be had in a fourth Austin Powers’? Even after two of the things, the
joke became stale.
Is there any hope for a fourth instalment in the money-spinning series?
Feel free to type ‘yeah baby!’ in the comments below, if you feel inclined.
