News > Myers is working on Austin Powers 4

Nikki Finke is reporting that Mike Myers has started writing Austin Powers 4, which will be an homage to his father. According to an insider "It's very personal with a father and son theme loosely based on his own life." 

Myers is working on AP4 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.

Interestingly, Myers had a character in the original Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery script called The Love Guru but decided not to shoot it. 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.
