I’m not watching an ad or a Twitter post to get a read on this but does anyone actually want this? I watched the first one many times because I was 12 and then grew out of it by the sequel. A lot of this late 90s/early 00s comedy seems cringe at best and problematic at worst and now needs to compete with infinite sophomoric YouTube videos.
Not to mention, the Bond franchise got way serious in response to Austin Powers, and the 60s spy he was parodying doesn’t seem nearly as culturally relevant to the kids this would need to appeal to to be successful.
… Or is this pure cash grab?
It was about a man from the 60s struggling with the societal changes of the (at that time) modern times.
You don’t think there’s new stuff to struggle with from the last 20 years?
Would it be a money grab? Probably.
Were the other movies good? Not really.
Do I actively love them? Yes.
Would I watch this? 100%.
I miss this kind of movie with really stupid humor that knows it’s really stupid. They don’t seem to make many of them anymore… probably because they think they won’t sell.
Haven’t watched but at least trailers for “The Naked Gun” seem pretty promising.
Does there have to be?
Wonder if plans on playing and aging spy who getting to old for the game or something.
Please don’t do fat bastard again.
I hope Christian Slater brings Austin his Orange sherbet this time.
FEMBOTS!
