Ok, up until this point I haven’t really know much about this new upcoming Mike Myers project. I dig Myers a lot, mostly because he’s a major Toronto Maple Leafs fan. However, I’ve been a major fan of his ever since “So I Married An Axe Murderer”, the most classic comedy that no one ever mentions as a classic.
Well, looks like Jessica Alba has signed up for “The Love Guru” with Myers as well, and more information about the idea and plot of the film have come out:
The Paramount film, which marks Myers’ first original character since Austin Powers, will begin shooting next month in Toronto. It is slotted for a June 20 release. Myers will play Pitka, an American who was left at the gates of an ashram in India as a child and raised by gurus. He moves back to the U.S. to seek fame and fortune in the world of self-help and spirituality, specializing in settling intimacy issues between couples.
His unorthodox methods are put to the test when he must settle a rift between star hockey player Darren Roanoke (Malco) and his estranged wife. After the split, Roanoke’s wife starts dating the star member of a rival team, sending her husband into a major professional skid — to the horror of the team’s owner, Jane Bullard (Alba), and Coach Cherkov (Troyer).
I haven’t disliked a Mike Myers film yet (the Shrek films don’t count), so until proven otherwise… sign me up!
