It's pretty funny but I watch those Austin Powers movies now and Trump sounds like Dr. Evil. His voice. The way Dr. Evil puckers his lips like Trump.

I see Mike Meyers like Adam Sandler. Both were good on SNL. Both had some pretty good to really good movies early in their movie career, but then grew pretty stale.

Doesn't this happen to most comedian actors?

Even the great Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin, other SNL guys..



Perhaps, but Steve Martin seems to have transitioned nicely into his low-profile banjo career. He seems like a cool guy.

From what I've read, Mike Myers is difficult to work with.

He’s worth like $200 million he got/still gets a huge amount on the backend from the Sherik movies.

Wow. I was surprised to find that this thread is from 2018. It looks like this is finally happening and in development. Can't post a link.

I'd give it a shot, with the idea that it may do a Karate Kid / Cobra Kai switch and make the audience more sympathetic to Dr. Evil.

Could be him as an anti-hero against Scott as the villain.


Yes, but Scott sucks at it and it pisses Dr. Evil off so much that he is forced to take over for him, belittling him at every turn.

Maybe it's the whole supporting cast but both Grown Ups movies are funny as shite.

The problem is that Mike Myers is an egomaniac and to work, this movie would need to really be making fun of him.
