focus heavily on Dr. Evil.
This could work if they lean heavily into dr evil not being evil enough to hangout with the parasite class. It could be pretty great if they laid it on super heavy and how Austin won’t fight against the main villains because he’s essentially a cop. So the story focuses on Dr evil doing objectively good things but getting slandered for it.
Finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes eh?
We’ll release the files showing that they are or heavily work with cannibal pdf’s. There’s no way that the masses won’t rise up to smash this evil cabal! - cut to riots in New York because of the Knicks winning
We won, Austin.
That could be a funny angle. I’m imagining a running joke where people keep discovering that Austin was on “the island” but it keeps turning out to have been a different Island than what they’re thinking.
“can I have 100 million dollars?”
“to make Austin Powers 4?”
“yeeeeeees…”
makes Love Guru 2 like a boss
Remember the gag where he asks for 100 million dollars and Number Two tells him their corporate profits are already more than that every quarter, so he asks for 100 Billion dollars and the world government’s all freak out. Now IRL doctor evil just has a trillion dollars by traditional financial grifting.
i could watch 90 minutes of obscene shadow puppetry easy, but i have my doubts about updating the material otherwise.
the whole deal was that the austin powers main characters were frozen from the 1960s until the late 90s and being fish out of water in the “modern” world? what do you do with that in the late 2020s? theyve spent more time as adults in the present than in the past.
Have them freeze in the 90s and get unfrozen in the 2020s? That sounds awful though, it’d just be a lamer rehash of the first movie.
That’s probably what they’re going to do though, isn’t it?
Having him frozen in the 90s but get unfrozen mid Obama 1st term among a load of millenials wouldn’t work at all, but it would at least be funnier than having him in 2026 joining a twitter polycule by accident.
Y’all ready for the deeply reverent pandering golden light slow pan shots of shit from the first movies? They’re gonna make a meal out of revealing a rocket shaped like a dong
Austin Powers vs. Ace Ventura in Space
Came in here to complain. But you know what? You got a deal!
Continuing the theme of making fun of Bond/spy films, they need to play it completely straight laced and make it gritty, and real.
“Austin - I thought you were mostly about fun. But you’re a killer too.”
“Yes.”
YEAH BABY YEAH
shagadelic baby yeah
In an ironic way, it feels like the character Austin Powers has mirrored the James Bond of the Daniel Craig era in the sense that the characters themselves exist as an anachronism, both are birthed from a cold war long since past and struggle to find a place in a modern world that’s left the need for them behind. How do you keep that spoof idea up when the Bond movies basically just played it straight? lmao.
Mike Myers please read my genderbend pitch
An indie movie about a club of enbies coordinating the kidnapping of Mike Myers to make him produce gender bent Austina Powers: The Spy Who Shags Free where you somehow also get mike myers in on it to do a small movie in movie (as Austina Powers) would be kinda cool
also which do y’all think is better: The Spy Who Shags Free, Tomorrow Never Dyes, or The Spy Who Came
The Spy Who Shags Free breaks the theme and is probably too close to the original name, but I think its peak.
When I made that post, I was just laughing my ass off at the idea of two Austins/Austinas amping each other up while flirting. I just need that scene for real.
EDIT: idc if it’s even just a fake scene somewhere in the movie, maybe at the start, where they’re filming an Austin Powers in-universe with a female actor. Then someone yells “Cut!” cuz they won’t stop.
It’s almost definitely going to be bad, but there is a small chance that they’ll find that golden path like The Naked Gun 4 did and make something surprisingly good that captures the vibe of the originals while standing on its own.
Without Verne? Travesty!
yeah baby yeah
Nah jumped the shark with the sequels.
I quite enjoyed The Pentaverate, so I’d say he hasn’t completely lost it.
