Lorne Michaels Wanted Mike Myers to Remake The Graduate Instead of Making Wayne’s World
This article is part of our coverage of the 2022 Netflix Is a Joke: The Festival. At the first annual Netflix Is a Joke: The Festival in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, Mike Myers sat down with acclaimed director/Mike Myers super-fan David O. Russell for a wide-ranging talk. The two men looked back over Myers’ career up to this week’s premiere of the new Netflix original series The Pentaverate, bringing a few surprise revelations to the Los Angeles crowd — along with some extra insight into the brain of Lorne Michaels. As Myers told Russell, Michaels told him about an idea for an unexpected film remake in 1989, the year Myers joined the cast of Saturday Night Live, after being invited to the SNL creator’s house in the Hamptons. “He pitched me a movie — he said, ‘I want you to do a remake o...
How Austin Powers Made James Bond Take Itself Seriously Again
Upon its release in early May 1997, Mike Myers and Jay Roach’s Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery became a pop culture phenomenon. Born from Myers’ faux rock band, Ming Tea, it saw the Wayne’s World star employing his typical knack for quirky personas and clever parody to poke fun at 1960s British psychedelia and campy spy cinema. Consequently (and ironically), its irresistibly fun quips, characters, and look became a defining part of the late 1990s zeitgeist in America, England, and elsewhere. Primarily, International Man of Mystery — as well as its more successful, elaborate, and ridiculous sequels: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) and Goldmember (2002) — was an affectionately astute and meticulously constructed send-up of the James Bond movies. In fact, Myers and company did such ...
Mike Myers Gets Initiated into a Secret Society in Trailer for The Pentaverate: Watch
In Mike Myers’ upcoming Netflix comedy series The Pentaverate, the actor plays a TV journalist named Ken Scarborough out to save his career by embedding himself in a secret society that’s been controlling world events since the Black Plague. True to form, he also portrays seven other characters in the series, which has just received a full trailer. Watch it below. Myers also plays Anthony Lansdowne — a conspiracy theorist who joins Scarborough’s crusade — and far-right radio host Rex Smith, along with each member of the Pentaverate: oldest and highest-ranking member Lord Lordington, former media mogul Bruce Baldwin, ex-Russia oligarch Mishu Ivanov, former Alice Cooper manager Shep Gordon, and tech genius Jason Eccleston. Newly revealed cast member Rob Lowe opens the new clip by narrating a...
First Look and Title Revealed for David O. Russell’s New Film Starring Christian Bale and Margot Robbie
Word’s been out for a while that Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington are set to star in David O. Russell’s unnamed next film, but now, we finally have some concrete details about the project, as well as a first look photo featuring the trio. The movie, called Amsterdam, hits theaters on November 4th. The first details about Amsterdam arrived at Disney’s CinemaCon presentation on Wednesday, so the official description of the film is naturally a little vague. Set in the 1930s, Amsterdam “is an original romantic crime epic about three close friends who find themselves at the center of one of the most shocking secret plots in American history.” In addition to the three close friends of Bale, Robbie, and Washington, the film’s stacked cast also includes Robert De ...
Mike Myers Takes on a Secret Society in Trailer for The Pentaverate: Watch
Mike Myers has offered a first look at his upcoming Netflix show titled The Pentaverate with a new teaser trailer. The comedy series will premiere on the streamer on May 5th. Watch the clip below. Revisiting his Austin Powers era, Myers will be playing eight characters, including a Canadian news journalist named Ken Scarborough who sets out to expose a secret society named the Pentaverate to win his job back, conspiracy theorist Anthony Lansdowne, and far-right radio host Rex Smith.

10 Wayne’s World Quotes You Probably Say All the Time
Happy 30th birthday to Wayne’s World, which was released on this day in 1992. In celebration, we’re dusting off a few oldie but goodie articles; you can check them all out here. Party on! Wayne’s World is one of the most quotable films of all time. For every “Schwing!”, there are at least half a dozen “We’re not worthy!”s right behind it, and if you’re a true fan, you can probably recite Alice Cooper’s entire Mill-e-wah-que monologue from memory. Unbeknownst to many of us, a handful of the film’s quotes have become a part of our own everyday life — colloquialisms, if you will. They’re kinda like a new pair of underwear: At first, they’re constrictive, but after a while they become a part of you. Advertisement Related Video With Mike Myers and Dana Carvey‘s iconic b...
Austin Powers Cast Reunites in New Super Bowl Commercial: Watch
Last year, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey resurrected Wayne and Garth for a Wayne’s World-themed Super Bowl commercial. For this year’s Big Game, Myers has brought back another one of his beloved characters — Dr. Evil. Myers stars alongside fellow Austin Powers cast members Seth Green, Rob Lowe, and Mindy Sterling in a new commercial for General Motors. To be honest, the premise is pretty dumb: Dr. Evil has made GM headquarters his new evil lair, and intends to use the company’s “Ultium Platform” to power his whole operation… while reducing carbon emissions. “I will help save the world first, then take over the world,” declares Dr. Evil. Advertisement Related Video But the commercial is worth watching solely for the fact that it marks the first time Myers, Green, Lowe, and Sterling have shared...
Robert De Niro, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy Join David O. Russell’s Star-Studded New Movie
The new David O. Russell film has just become an A-list bonanza. On Thursday, it was confirmed that Robert De Niro, Chris Rock, and our 2020 Performer of the Year Anya Taylor-Joy have signed on for the film. So too have Michael Shannon, Mike Myers, Andrea Riseborough, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Alessandro Nivola. All of those stars will be joining Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and John David Washington in the as-yet-untitled film. Russell and his team are still keeping details about the plot confidential, but anonymous sources who spoke with Collider last year say that it apparently deals with an unlikely friendship between a doctor and a lawyer. Michael B. Jordan was originally slated to be part of the cast, but Washington replaced him last fall for reasons that are still un...
Party Time! Wayne’s World Cast Reunites Alongside Alice Cooper, Queen, and Aerosmith: Watch
We’re not worthy: The latest episode of Josh Gad’s quarantine charity series Reunited Apart brought together the cast of Wayne’s World alongside legendary rockers Alice Cooper, Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen, and Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith. Schwing! The 1992 film was based on a popular SNL sketch, which itself had roots in the “Wayne’s Power Hour” segments on the 1987 Canadian series It’s Only Rock & Roll. Like other editions of Reunited Apart, this one began with a tortured comedy bit where Gad pretended that the whole thing hadn’t been meticulously planned. Here, he dials up Joe Perry and Steven Tyler, but only to ask for the phone numbers of Mike Myers and Dana Carvey, who played Wayne and Garth. “You brought us — two wo...
Be Like Mike: How Michael Jordan Built His Iconic Brand
It’s been over 20 years since Michael Jordan won his final championship. A Basketball Hall-of-Famer, six-time MVP, and the leader of two three-peats, Jordan remains a larger than life figure from the way he soared to his superstar status.

With the airing of ESPN’s 10-part docuseries The Last Dance—which recounts the Chicago Bulls’ final title run with MJ—fans have been reminded of the basketball-great’s importance and brilliance on the court. However, another enthralling component to the weekly event is his Airness’ significance as a global icon off-the-court Need proof? Log onto Twitter while The Last Dance is airing.
