<i>AUSTIN POWERS SET TO RETURN FOR FOURTH MOVIE
Mike Myers is reportedly set to make one final outing as spoof spy Austin Powers - despite promising the kitsch character would never grace the silver screen again. The Wayne's World comic is working on a script and there are plans to go into pre-production in the spring, with the shoot taking place at Shepperton and Pinewood studios in England before the end of the year. Myers will once again take on writing and directing duties and will star as a variety of characters, including Austin, Dr. Evil and Fat Bastard. In the fourth movie in the series, Austin will be reunited with all his leading ladies from the previous three films: Liz Hurley, Heather Graham and Beyonc

Of interest to Bond fans. New Line Cinema reached an agreement with MGM before "Goldmember" was released that MGM would have title approval. MGM objected to the name and title "Goldmember" being used for the last movie and even succeeded in getting a court injunction against New Line from using the title. New Line was forced to recall all the publicity materials for "Goldmember".
MGM and New Line came to terms. New Line agreed to attach a trailer for "Die Another Day" in front of "Goldmember" and gave MGM title approval for any future Austin Powers movie. In return MGM agreed to allow New Line to use the title "Goldmember".
Of course New Line believed "Goldmember" would be the last Austin Powers movie, so they didn't care about giving MGM the right to approve or disapprove a future title...
I wonder what they are thinking now.....

It will always be worthy of a quick spin to drum up interest.

Eep! Looks like I better brush up on my Bond trivia!
The second Austin Powers film was my favourite. The third had its moments, but aside from the fantastic opening sequence, it wasn't all that memorable.
As long as they don't trot out the same jokes for a fourth time.

I do agree that the last two (save for a few great scenes in both) haven't measured up to the first.
As to titles:
Live & Let Shag (get Sir Paul to perform it)
You Only Shag Twice
For Your Shag Only
A Shag to a Kill
You can only take it so far though...baby;)

I read that when GOLDMEMBER was in jeopardy as the last film's title due to legal wrangling by the Bond people, NEVER SAY MEMBER AGAIN was considered as an alternative, which would have been a really cool putdown, referencing another film that The Powers That Be on the Bond series had not taken kindly to. It's almost a pity that permission ended up being granted for Mike Myers and company to use the title AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER.
*And how about an amusing reversal of the situation in the earlier films, with Scott trying to tempt his now good, or maybe "quasi-evil" father back to the dark side?
