Sorry Giselle But ‘Austin Powers 4’ Still Isn’t Happening, Says Seth Green

Remember those reports earlier this month that supermodel Gisele Bundchen was in talks to star in “Austin Powers 4,” and had already read a script for the project and was soon to meet Mike Myers and director Jay Roach? And how it thoroughly confused everyone since the film has been nothing more than loose ideas in Myers’ head for years? Well, that’s because none of it is true.
That’s according to one person who should know - the demon seed of Dr. Evil himself, Seth Green. When asked about the rumored casting, Green was, like us, frankly astounded. “Giselle…the model??” he exclaimed.
While Green was quick to deny that the film has moved any closer to being a reality, the actor left the door open for future possibilities. “I’ll tell you what,” he declared. “If a script for ‘Austin Powers 4’ gets written and then it gets greenlit by whatever version of New Line is still making movies, and everybody agrees to do it, then we’ll have something to talk about. But at this point, ‘Austin Powers 4’ is nothing more than something Mike Myers talked about off-handedly during the ‘Shrek’ press.”
In 2007, Myers had expressed interest in making a fourth film from the viewpoint of Dr. Evil, but the comedian has offered nothing further since.
Do you want to see a fourth “Powers” film? What sort of storyline would get you into theaters? Sound off below!

The New Ace Ventura has been revealed to us. Coming around the third time, the Ventura flick is not going to star the ever so funny Jim Carrey but instead, will be starring…Josh Flitter?!?! He starred in Licensed to Wed and Nancy Drew but I don’t know how in this lifetime he is gonna fill Carrey’s shoes.
I remember sitting down and watching Ace Ventura when I was younger and god damn I pissed myself the whole way through, the way Carrey pulled faces and owned the character was the funniest thing I ever seen. The over exaggeration of the smallest movements come to mind.
The movie has yet to have a title but it is going to be directed by David Mickey Evans (he directed Wilder Days, Beethovers 4th and 3rd and the Sandlot) and he will be directing the script which was written by Jeff Sank, Jason Heimberg and Justin Heimberg. Evans had the following to say about the movie, quoted from MovieHole
Well, basically my kids run my career, After the Final Season got picked up by Sony/Yari for theatrical release, I had a bunch of offers and scripts on my desk. I asked my 9, 11, and 15 year olds what they wanted me to do. And they said, “Dad, you’re doing Ace Ventura 3!. I don’t know if the fact that the film shoots in Orlando (Disney World, Universal Orlando, etc etc…) had anything to with their marching orders, but I suspect it did. Nonetheless, the challenge of trying to meet the expectation of a sequel to one of the funniest movies in the last 30 years appealed to me. Done deal. Cut. Print. Moving on! Done deal … plus I really wanted to work with Jim Robinson and David Robinson at Morgan Creek. The opportunity to cross paths with their brand of creative support is rare and I wasn’t about to pass that up.
Only thing I have to say is this is gonna suck. The second Ventura sucked ass, the first was hilarious. I dunno how somebody other than Carrey is gonna step up and play a legendary role when Carrey couldn’t even get the second one going.

Che at Cannes: Anatomy of a Meme
“Why did everyone have Che wrong?” reads the headline at Variety’s festival blog The Circuit. “The headline all over last week’s Cannes prognostications were about how Soderbergh’s Che epic wasn’t going to make the Croisette,” Mike Jones writes. “Today, all the Cannes headlines lead with Soderbergh.

“Why did everyone have Che wrong?” reads the headline at Variety’s festival blog The Circuit. “The headline all over last week’s Cannes prognostications were about how Soderbergh’s Che epic wasn’t going to make the Croisette,” Mike Jones writes. “Today, all the Cannes headlines lead with Soderbergh. Surprise, surprise: Che will storm the south of France - all 4 hours of it.”
Jones says that after sales agency The Wild Bunch failed to find a distributor for the film in Berlin, “the Cannes rumors started, becoming a near-fact in the blogosphere that there would be no revolution on the Croisette.” The implication is that Wild Bunch spread rumors that the movie wouldn’t make it to Cannes, in order to make it instant news when it did.
But the thing is, I just did a pretty exhaustive Google BlogSearch, and though I found several post-Berlin posts indicating that Che would make its debut in the south of France, I couldn’t find a single blog post trying to pass off Che’s absence from Cannes as fact dated before this Variety story from April 17. In that story, Todd McCarthy said neither of Soderbergh’s two films would premiere in Cannes, because “Soderbergh has essentially finished the second film but, despite non-stop work in recent weeks, hasn’t quite gotten the first half of the Benicio Del Toro starrer where he wants it.” The Variety report was widely circulated throughout the blogosphere over the following few days. That report came almost two weeks after a rumor, posted by Jeff Wells on April 4, that although odds weren’t great that Soderbergh would be able to make the deadline, he was determined to get Che to Cannes:
One guy says he’s been told by a Warner Bros. source that Soderbergh is determined to get the film[s] done in time for Cannes. Another guy told me he’s heard the chances of The Argentine being “ready-ready” are “less than 50%.” And yet Soderbergh, he adds, repeating what the Warner Bros. guy passed along, is said to be confident he can have The Argentine in some kind of decent shape by the mid-April deadline, or roughly ten days from now.
Wells’ post is the only thing on the English language internet that I could find pre-dating the Variety story that even suggests that Che might not play at Cannes, and I ultimately walked away from that post thinking that chances of the film making the line-up were pretty good. And blogs were still suggesting that Che would make the lineup in the days between Wells’ report and McCarthy’s.
Maybe I’m wrong, maybe there’s a blog post I missed. But if you really want to know how it became “a near-fact in the blogosphere that there would be no revolution on the Croisette”? It looks like it’s because Variety said so.
