No 'Wayne's World 3' In The Works
An internet rumor cropped up today and was squashed before it even really made the rounds. Evidently there was some buzz that Mike Myers was working on a script for 'Wayne's World 3.' This would of course be the third installment of the 'Wayne's World' movie series based on the 'Saturday Night Live' sketch starring he and Dana Carvey as cable-access rock music goofs. The new movie was going to center on the duo as they dealt with what they perceived as terrible contemporary music. It's been nearly twenty years since 'Wayne's World 2,' so this news, purportedly based on an Entertainment Weekly story circulating through email, was more than a bit surprising. But unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your view of the situation, the EW story turned out to be a categorical fake. Myers is in no way working on a new 'Wayne's World' script and no third installment seems to be in the works.
So why report on this? Because it is an apt reminder of Hollywood's current climate. There was a time when you could hear something like "they're making a sequel to a short-lived comedy franchise that died off two decades ago" and know immediately that it wasn't true. Now, with the desperate studios harbor to have recognizable brand names attached to films, we can't be so sure that they wouldn't pull something like this. Don't believe me? How about the fact that a third 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure' is actually in development? Or the sequel to 'Twins?!' And, in terms of absurd branding, Candyland, Stretch Armstrong, and practically the rest of your childhood toy box are getting their own films. However, this overwhelming branding trend is not the biggest reason I'm glad the third 'Wayne's World' isn't happening. The sad fact is, Mike Myers has completely lost his touch. 'The Love Guru,' 'The Cat in the Hat,' 'Goldmember?' Can anyone remember the last time this guy's movies were any good? Believe me, I'm saddened by this, I loved Myers' stuff in the 90s, but it seems his sense of humor didn't survive Y2K.
What do you guys think? Are you surprised they aren't doing a 'Wayne's World 3?' Would you have gone to see it if it were a real project? Do agree Myers has lost his touch?

We seem to be the only ones concerned that Spill listed Goldmember as a mistake when it was not. Only, I would go further and say that I enjoy it the most out of the trilogy, at least upon rewatching. It's the wackiest and the most cut loose, over-the-top film in the bunch. It's the most comedicly progressive. And I actually think Beyonce brought some much needed female presence and personality as opposed to her predecessors. Also, next Dr. Evil himself, Goldmember is probably the funniest, and admittedly weirdest character in all the films.

Maybe this could have redeemed him after his horrible recent movies. I feel his humor has flopped as hard as Adam Sandler's and disappointed to hear that they are not trying to give it a shot.

I'm almost sorry to hear this won't be made. Austin Powers 1, Wayne's World 1 and So I Married an Ax Murderer... all among my favorite comedies ever. Slim as the chance is that it would have turned out good, I could somehow see a WW remake working if it was a reflective story, paralleling Myers' and Carvey's own careers, about how about how they could climb so high and then fall so far. It would be a sobering story about aging as a rocker/geek and how nostalgia for what you love isn't universal.

Les Claypool Fan, there's a difference between something being "overrated", and it not appealing to you. Wayne's World is not overrated, especially for an SNL film.

Why would Goldmember be listed in his flops? It was at least good enough to fit in with the previous Austin Powers films. Was it called out just because it was after y2k?
Also, that concept for Wayne's World 3 sounds awesome.

Thank God Wayne's world is fucking over rated as shit.
A few funny moments here and there in a SNL skit that lasts far too long.

I would love to see another/and final Wayne's World. I've been asking myself for years "where would Wayne and Garth be in today's world" I'm guessing classic rock radio.
