The last Austin Powers movie, Austin Powers in Goldmember was released fourteen years ago, and while we all thought that the franchise was officially done following a very successful trilogy, it seems that a fourth film may still happen.
The films’ series producer Jay Roach commented to Larry King that an Austin Powers 4 is still being considered.
Here’s what he had to say: “You know, Mike Myers and I talk about it every time we get together. I would say it’s 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’m always good to go.”
Wow. The last we heard was that a potential plot man actually revolve around Dr. Evil and his son Scott (Seth Green) and would be a “very personal [story] with a father and son theme loosely based on Myers’ own life.” That was a little while ago though.
Jay Roach was promoting HBO’s All the Way on Larry King. Since his last Austin Powers effort, the director has helmed the likes of Meet The Fockers, Dinner For Schmucks, and more recently the Oscar-nominated Trumbo.
More as we get it.
