Austin Powers 4 News

With the Mike Myers' career floundering more than Dr. Evil's plans to take over the world, it appears as though the actor is serious about developing a fourth installment of the Austin Powers franchise.

Back in May of 2007, Myers said it was "developing a fourth [movie], entirely from Dr. Evil's point of view."

We love Dr. Evil. But do we really need to see him in a fourth Austin Powers movie?

Now, Deadline Hollywood Daily is confirming that stance, providing a few more details about a possible Austin Powers 4. The site reports:

Mike Myers has started writing Austin Powers 4, which will be a homage to his father. An insider says, "it's very personal with a father and son theme loosely based on his own life."

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 Austin Powers 4's plot is really about Dr. Evil and his son.

Jay Roach is a producer/director with a pair of comedic aces up your sleeve: Austin Powers 4 and Little Fockers. Will these follow-up films be made?

"I know [Mike Myers is] thinking about it," Roach said when asked about a new Austin Powers movie. "Which is something of a move in a direction."

As for rumors that Gisele Bundchen might end up in the film? Roach has a message for fans: slow down.

"There isn't a script like that or anything yet," Roach cautioned. "But it's something, that [is still alive]... he's got other stuff to do too, and that one's completely driven by Mike. If he wants to do it, I'll definitely want to be involved. But I don't know yet when that's gonna happen."

A similar theme accompanies a sequel to Meet the Fockers.

"The way we go after these is when we have a story that can make it earn itself back," Roach told MTV. "Sequels shouldn't always be automatic; there's a certain amount of pressure if something works, to have it work twice. But that doesn't always mean it will work three times."

As for the film, which would reportedly focus on parenthood and be called Little Fockers, the director continued:

"We're just trying to find the right story that makes it worth doing again. We always talk about ideas for it, and it would be a great group of people to get back together, for sure."

We're excited enough to find out that an Austin Powers 4 is even in the works.

Now, we hear that super model Gisele Bündchen - who has played roles in The Devil Wears Prada and Taxi - is being considered for the female lead in the film. The gorgeous girlfriend of Tom Brady would follow in the footsteps of Elizabeth Hurley, Heather Graham and Beyoncé Knowles if this turns out to be the case.

Reportedly, the Brazilian beauty already has been given the script; her agent will meet soon with Mike Myers and director Jay Roach.

Myers' next comedy, The Love Guru, comes out on June 20.

Gisele, meanwhile, is coming out of her bra in pretty much every picture of her. Damn you, Tom Brady.
