As long as Verne Troy is in it, I’m going to pay to watch it.
I would love to see for it to be set in the eighties! How about Jennifer Lopez as a seductive evil agent out to get Austin?
WHY?
Because Mike Myers needs to resurrect his career after The Love Guru.
Ugh. I loved the first two, but hated Goldmember.
Yeah Goldmember Kinda Ruined the Franchise for me, Specially on how it ended, It ll be pretty tough for Mike to pull Big money out of AP4
I really liked the first one, disliked the second, and thought the third was shockingly bad. While it would be great if MM could recapture the bawdy fun of the first film, I don’t have high hopes for that happening.
I agree with wsugar, why?!?!? The last movie wasn’t that great, and it’s been several years since AP has been relevant. Some of the lingo may still be around, but the way the last film ended, was just…awful. Apologies to the AP fans.
Austin becomes a Dad?…
NO PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
No one wants to see an Austin Powers 4. The humor is outdated (have you tried watching the originals lately?). We don’t need to ressurrect “Yeah, baby!”, do we?
Yeah baby!!
“Yeah baby” didn’t get played out because of Austin Powers. It got played out because people like my dumb friends who said it every five seconds. It’s not Mike Myers’ fault these lines got tiresome after awhile. MM created a really smart and clever satire with that first movie. It’s a fantastic spoof on spy movies and when I saw it at the theater I was blown away. And the subtleties and the cliches he poked fun at in that first film still make me laugh. People need to come up with original things and stop quoting movies all of the time…then maybe I’ll be able to watch Napoleon Dynamite again.
I want to see AP4! Am I the only one who liked the 3rd film? (Couldn’t stand the 2nd)
You liked the 3rd but couldn’t stand the 2nd? Probably the only person I’ve ever heard say that. To each his own. I thought the 3rd was okay, but I didn’t like the ending. The 2nd is actually my favorite.
I’m in the same camp as bigE. My friends and I love the 3rd film but don’t care too much for the 2nd.
Could watch Goldmember over & over again.
The second film was my favorite, too. I loved Heather Graham, the music, young Number Two and, well, Unibrow. “Did you like that, Number Two? I wrote that, yeah.”
The second is my fav too. Some REALLY good gags (like the tent) and fat bastard etc.
As much as I like Mike Myers, it seems like he’s a bit desperate for a hit outside of Shrek. The Love Guru was an absolute disaster.
Agreed, Dave!
This, for those asking why.
Mike Myers is showing interest because its the only thing he can get bankrolled. Goddam it Myers, think of a new creation or do Adventures of Middle-Aged Man.
Oh goodie…SPAM! Just what I wanted to read on a website about entertainment, a middle aged power trolling for old rich guys. Are you a computer?
OMG! another sequel! I read that Austin Powers has a lot of gay fans! He does act weird! LOL
Also, I love smelling my own farts. They’re ever so fragrant.
Bored much???
I enjoyed all three of them. Austin Powers 4 is supposed to follow or have some fellow info from spy who shagged me.
I can’t believe that this no-talent buttclown is still around.
oh, can’t he just make Wayne’s World 3 instead, I would welcome another, “Excellent”, or “We’re not worthy” or “I think I’m going to hurl.” but then again Austin Powers 4 could be good……NOT! (sorry it’s just my opinion but I really would want Wayne’s World 3)
I agree I think that humor is more relevant than Austin Powers.
Mike and Dana are way too long in the tooth to pull that off now. Even back then it was a stretch.
This story makes me horny.
Nobody’s interested.
LIAR!!!!!
I am VERY interested, I love laughing and this series alwasy makes me laugh…go away you grumpy grumpkins…
BRING BACK AUSTINPOWERS…YEAH BABAY!!!!!!
