I somehow missed the news that Mike Myers and Jay Roach are hard at work on an Austin Powers 4. Even though I was a huge fan of the first two movies, the third film and the passing of time have made me wish fervently to never see any of those characters again. The trailers for The Love Guru doesn't make things much better. I don't know if I've just grown up, or if Mike Myers has truly gotten unfunny in the last few years.

Well, at least one person seems to think a new Powers movie is a great idea. Boston.com is reporting that Gisele Bundchen is considering signing on as the next Powers girl, carrying on the proud tradition of Elizabeth Hurley as Vanessa Kensington, Heather Graham as Felicity Shagwell, and Beyonce Knowles as Foxxy Cleopatra. Apparently she's been given the script and plans to meet with Mike Myers' agents soon.

Bundchen, of course, is more famous for being a supermodel and dating Tom Brady than for any known acting ability. She doesn't even speak English as a first language, being from Brazil originally, so the usual dilemma of seeing a model act will probably be even worse in this case. Yeah, everything about this shrieks “bad idea,” which goes for the entire movie as well. The teenagers who made Austin Powers a hit 10 years ago have grown up, and today's teenagers don't even know who Mike Myers is. Who on earth actually wants to see this movie? If Love Guru is a flop, maybe we can be spared from an Austin Powers reboot. It seems like our only hope. Get that boycott started!
