There’s no denying that Mike Myers’ comic creation Austin Powers had a deep cultural impact. Through three films, the bumbling British secret agent comedically charmed his way through saving the world from Dr. Evil’s diabolical plans and launched a handful of catchphrases that everyone repeated until they were no longer funny. The franchise ultimately brought in $1 billion dollars, so it is understandable that some folks would be interested in keeping that gravy train going.<\/p>\n

Austin Powers<\/strong> franchise director Jay Roach was on Larry King Now<\/a> and stated that even though it has been 14 years since the last film, he and Myers have not given up on the idea of a fourth film.<\/p>\n

You know, Mike Myers and I talk about it every time we get together. I would say it\u2019s in a latent phase right now, but someday if we find the right idea that seems to have it earn itself, for sure. Mike gave me the break of a lifetime in letting me direct [Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery] so I\u2019m always good to go.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Frankly, seeing that we’re already two needless sequels into this franchise, if Meyers and Roach never get around to a third film it will be fine with me. The first film was a legitimate comedy hit, funny and fresh. But like many things from the era of TV’s Saturday Night Live<\/em> that launched Meyers’ career, the things that everyone liked from the original were recycled and just beaten into the ground ad nauseum<\/em> with the two sequels. It has gotten to the point where the real joke is someone who finds the Austin Powers schtick to still be funny. I really don’t think that there is anyone out there really clamoring for a fourth Austin Powers<\/strong> movie, except maybe Meyers and Roach. If they were to come out with a really innovative idea for a new sequel, I would be interested. But their track record so far has does not give me much hope that they will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

But does anyone really want an AUSTIN POWERS 4 film?<\/div>\n
