News broke over the weekend that Mike Myers was "signed, sealed, delivered" for "Austin Powers 4," the long-awaited follow-up to 2002's "Goldmember." [url="http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/motion-captured/posts/exclusive-mike-myers-is-signed-sealed-delivered-and-austin-powers-4-is-coming"]HitFix[/url] confirmed that Myers had signed a deal to return to the franchise, but now [url="http://www.deadline.com/2011/08/whats-really-happening-with-mike-myers-and-austin-powers-4/"]Deadline New York[/url] is reporting otherwise. The entertainment website is saying that, despite Myers' interest in the project, no deal has been signed yet.

Apparently all that's happened is that Myers has expressed interest in a proposal for the movie that New Line presented six months ago, and it's not a full-blown deal. The project had seemingly fallen by the wayside after Myers' 2008 flick "The Love Guru" tanked at the box office, and he disappeared from Hollywood (barring a brief appearance in "Inglourious Basterds"). But New Line sought to revitalize the project recently and sent out a new offer about six months ago. Deadline is reporting that Myers' representatives have finally responded that Myers is interested.
