What's Really Happening With Mike Myers And 'Austin Forces 4'?

Following the Hitfix website reported that Mike Myers had signed an offer to perform a 4th Austin Forces film, other websites are running wild by using it. What's really happening? Well, I wouldn't always dress for that premiere at this time. No deal has yet been signed, and top New Line brass are surprised the entire factor has reared up once they made Myers a deal six several weeks to last year, and listen to nothing. Forgive New Line to be skeptical: The film company think it is well in route to a different Austin Forces installment if this designed a offer 2008 with Myers to collaborate with Mike McCullers for any Dr. Evil film which was to pay attention to his relationship with boy Scotty (Seth Eco-friendly), intended to be an unabashed homage to Myers' father, whose Brit influence essentially prodded Myers to produce the British agent Austin Forces character to begin with. Then, Myers' screen creation, The Love Guru, opened up to $13 million in June 2008 from the nearly $40 million that Steve Carell's Get Wise made with Steve Carell. Myers went AWOL, appearing just for a little role in Inglourious Basterds. McCullers never moved on using the script. Cut to 6 month ago. While Myers got a $20 million against 20% of first-dollar gross for Austin Forces in Goldmember (which made $297 million in 2002), New Line sent Myers' reps a professional forma deal offer that gave a minimal upfront pay day against a gross that will start working after Warner Bros recovered its costs. That isn't an infrequent deal for stars who cashed out-sized first-dollar gross inspections but who ain't ever getting individuals deals again. Myers was offered an offer like the one Cameron Diaz got for Bad Teacher and Jim Carrey for Mr. Popper's Penguins. The studio heard nothing from Myers -- until now, when Myers' reps arrived on the scene from the woodwork and expressed interest. New Line's unsure what this signifies. It's unclear whether Myers really wants to proceed together with his 2008 father homage idea, or whether he's determined a different way to bring back his Shagadelic secret agent. I am told that at this time it isn't obvious whether McCullers is going to be back or if Myers works with another collaborator. Also unclear is whether or not Jay Roach is engaged at this time, despite the fact that he directed the very first three films. And there's the question of whether Myers anxiously waited too lengthy to create his franchise character back. It is the risk stars take once they choose to step back for a long time at any given time. I frequently question exactly the same factor concerning the extremely gifted Chris Tucker, whose title was pointed out because the possible lead in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained (a job that visited Jamie Foxx) but who is not on the watch's screen since 2007's Hurry Hour 3. But say one factor for Mike Myers: He's a few to utilize, however the only superstar who dependably produces screen figures as memorable is Sacha Baron Cohen, who's presently back in internet marketing using the Dictator. Myers most likely has enough good will to produce another Austin Forces, but when he wants it, he'd better move rapidly and never disappear like he did in 2008. In the end, we are approaching on ten years because the last Austin Forces, and also the clock is ticking.
