Myers confirms Austin Powers 4

To probably happen after “Love Guru” and the Moon biopic


The British loon is set to shag his way through London one more time…

Nope, not talking about the extra-curricular activities of Robbie Williams but more so Austin Powers, that International Man of Franchisery, whose about to flare up for a fourth wiggle on the silver screen.

Mike Myers tells Moviehole that he’s eyeing an “Austin Powers 4”, only this one will be more Dr.Evil’s movie than the mojo-equipped super spy’s.

“There is a fully conceived idea for a fourth and I can just say that it’s from Dr Evil’s point of view, so if you balanced how much of it was Austin with Dr Evil, it’s more Dr Evil than Austin”, Myers tells us an interview to promote his new film, “Shrek the Third”.

One can only assume it’ll feature – besides Seth Green, whose pretty much a shoe-in to return as Dr.Evil’s son, Scott – a bevy of cameos; a multitude of filthy jokes; and a few pairs of fruit up-front to shroud the naked bits.

Before enduring the “Austin” make-up session again, Myers will play musician Keith Moon in a biopic.

“About four and a half years ago I got a call from security that a Roger Daltry wanted to come, so he came and he said ‘I really would love you to play Keith’ and because I’ve drummed my whole life, I love The Who, I love Keith, I was fascinated by that time. I made Austin Powers because of my fascination and I grew up in an English house and there is nobody more English than an Englishman who no longer lives in England, so I was just inundated with English culture. Donald Margulies is the Pulitzer Prize wining playwright has written the screenplay and it’s great, so I’m excited. It will probably be Love Guru, and then Moon. “

Look for our full interview with Myers, in which he talks more about his next movie “The Love Guru”, as well as “Shrek”, in the coming days.

Thanks to ‘Paul’
