After being away from the live action movie star thing for a while, Mike Myers is returning to screens this summer as The Love Guru, a character who seems to be making all the same Austin Powers jokes… in a different accent! Yes, this is the exciting new spin it’s taken Myers years to craft.
Perhaps doing all those same old gags – in a different accent! – has gotten Myers homesick for his British spy character. It seems that there’s a script for Austin Powers 4, and supermodel Gisele Bundchen is being offered the babe role. But don’t worry, Myers won’t be just rehashing the jokes from the previous three movies (and The Love Guru) – he’ll be doing it from the point of view of Dr. Evil! That’s what Myers told the press back when The Love Guru got underway a year ago.
Personally, I just hope that Myers sidelines Austin Powers 4 so that he and Eddie Murphy can team up in the greatest crossover ever: The Love Guru Meets The Holy Man.

The Love Guru Meets The Holy Man. best teamup ever
if GiseleBundchen'sClothes <= Photo then TicketSold=true
Holy Man wasn't all that bad as romantic comedies go. Austin Powers, however, is terrible, and always has been. I'll give Mike Meyers some credit for the first Waynes World, parts not involving him in So I Married an Axe Murderer, a handful of SNL sketches, and that's it. He will never be the Peter Sellers mk II that he so desperately wants to be.
I'd much rather have him bring back Wayne Campbell. At least we'd get some Dana Carvey action, and Tia Carrere still looks damn good.
Myers knows "Love Guru" is going to fail. So he's going back to the well that made him a bucket full of cash.
No.
🙁
Another one? Austin Powers is wretched, hardly a millimiter above "Epic Movie", "Spartans", "Superhero Movie"…
The only marginally amusing moment in the entire series were the short "henchmen's families" scenes in the first one. And I heard that those scenes were in fact missing in the version released in the USA…!
I wish he would stop screwing around and just make Sprockets. Or does Lorne Michaels have the rights locked tight in his ass!
Powers 4 might work if they play it like/off New Bond (it needs a reboot anyway). There's genuine exuberance and grotesquery in the first 2, unlike the flat "movie" movies.
The first "Austin Powers" was quite funny, in an "homage to Benny Hill" kind of way, but the sequels fell off *really* fast. Myers is talented, but he's a bit too much like Robin Williams in some ways. They both seem to scream "look at me, dammit – I'm being really funny here!" A little of both goes a long way, too.
i actually sleep in a Holy Man t-shirt. I got it when i worked at a movie theatre. jealous?
I would seriously bang the shit out of Gisele. If the movie is 2 hrs of that I will attend.
