Deadline Hollywood reports that Mike Meyers has started scripting the next AUSTIN POWERS installment . Meyers has said all along that if there was a fourth film, it would predominantly center on Dr. Evil - with oblique indication that the Austin Powers character would move through the 'storyline' as a foil for Evil.

But what hasn't been known is that the AP4 plot is really about Dr. Evil and his son (introduced already as Scott Evil, played by Seth Green).

..says THIS ARTICLE at Deadline Hollywood.

Back in April, we heard that Brazilian megababe Gisele Bundchen was in talks to be the next AUSTIN POWERS girl; reports surfaced that her agents had been given a script for AP4 & she was to meet with Meyers & Co. about appearing in the film. [details HERE].

I'm not sure how the April information reconciles with this most recent indication that script work is just now starting. It's possible the latest news is running a little late, or that Meyers and the gang have gone back to the drawing boards and are generating a new script, or that the initial report about the existence of a script was in error from the outset.
