'Love Guru 2' or 'Austin Powers 4' Which Idea is Best?
Tough question, and there is no option C
Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood reports that Mike Myers has started writing Austin Powers 4 with Mike McCullers (Baby Mama). McCullers and Myers worked on the second and third installments in the franchise together.
Finke's source tells her the project is very personal for Myers and a father-son relationship will be at the center of the story focusing on Dr. Evil (Myers) and his son Scott Evil (Seth Green). Apparently the film will be an homage to Myers' father who died on November 22, 1991 of Alzheimer's.
There is no greenlight for the film per se, but New Line is apparently excited about the project. It seems nothing changed at the studio after being folded into Warner Bros., they are still courting bad ideas.
An interesting fact is listed in Finke's article that I had not heard before saying that Myers originally wrote in a character called The Love Guru in the first Austin Powers film. The character was axed from the franchise, but when The Love Guru went forward at Paramount the studio demanded New Line sign a pledge saying it had no claims to the character. Not sure if that is true or not, but a little factoid to tuck away one way or another.

You know, I wouldn't mind that story line, Dr. Evil was always entertaining, so focussing on him could work.
you kno i think mike should kinda take a long break from the character movies hes putting out …. i dont kno but id kinda like to see him as a normal person in a movie. It's all the same with his movies ….. like adam sandler its all getting kinda old and i dont care about jokes that involve body parts.. like come on can you get a little more creative then just the same stuff? It was funny back in the 90's when it first started but i mean everybody hears it all the time now and we need sum new comedy.
I would like to see the love guru 2 cause there would be more comedy and cause there is alot of hockey. also they teach u alot of bad stuff but it is funny.
they should make a love guru 2, i loved that movie so much it was hilarious, i love mike myers, he is probably the funniest guy i know besides adam sandler! please think about making a second 1
I agree, he should make The Love Guru 2. I found the first one very funny. The critics always point out the "over-the-top acting" and the "immature jokes", but if you're a Mike Myers fan, that's what we expect. Stop hating. The Love Guru 2!
love guru was awesome, they need to make a part 2, f the critics
