Austin Powers 4 in the works

I'm told that Mike Myers has started writing Austin Powers 4 which will be an homage to his father. "It's very personal with a father and son theme loosely based on his own life," an insider tells me.

As Myers has previously said, this fourth installment of the super spy spoof movie series will focus on Austin's arch-villain Dr. Evil, who was based on Blofeld of the Bond films.

But what hasn't been known is that the AP4 plot is really about Dr. Evil and his son (introduced already as Scott Evil, played by Seth Green). Myers is penning his idea with Baby Mama's Mike McCullers, who collaborated with Myers on Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Austin Powers 3: Goldmember.

There's no deal in place yet but New Line is panting after No. 4 despite Myer's recent box office bomb, The Love Guru, for Paramount.

But does Myers realize he may no longer be a draw? (Probably not. Before the pic opened, he reportedly made diva demands from Conan O'Brien staffers last month for stupid stuff like Twizzlers and raspberry seltzer. Ugh.)

Interestingly, I'm told that Myers had a character in the original Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery script called The Love Guru but decided not to shoot it and then wrote it out of the series.

Nevertheless, when Paramount decided to make The Love Guru, it demanded that New Line sign a pledge that it had no claims to the character.

I don't think they should make another. I loved the first two but the 3rd wasn't as good. I don't think they should take the chance of ruining a pretty good trilogy.

I thought 3 was better than two tbh. I look forward to this.

Yeah I'll go see it, I loved the first 3, even if it bombs terribly.

I think they left off in a pretty good place in 3, Dr. Evil and Mini Me are good now-so what's the point?

I'm a huge fan of Austin Powers and the third one was hilarious, I'm defenitely going to go see the fourth one. Anything with Mike Myers is usually funny and I believe he's going to be great in this one as well. Looking forward to this, that's for sure.

Honestly I can't understand why these are so popular. Mike Myers is that good of an actor you think?, because I honestly don't. I can't really think of any movie, actually, that I thought was pretty good with him in it.

Seth Green turned evil at the end of the third so it makes sense to have a 4th. I loved them all so far and I'll definitely go out and see this one.

As sad as I am to say it, Mike Myers just isn't that funny anymore.

I agree with Blueyes, I just don't understand what the big deal is about these movies. I didn't find the first two funny at all. I don't think I saw the third one. I definitely won't be seeing the fourth.

I thought the first two were really funny and the third as cheesy. I doubt I'd even watch a fourth.
