We've passed the "Marty McFly came to this year date for existential dread and it was hilarious. Can't wait for the year when we're as far from the release of Austin Powers as the movie was from the wild 60s.
The first movie came out in 1997 and was set 30 years after he was frozen in 1967. So your scenario would be true in 4 years.
Thanks for checking wikipedia when I was too lazy to do so. ;)
Oh man, that's going to be a weird milestone.
Maybe then we need a movie about a 90s spy trying to adjust to the late 2020s/early 2030s.
My guess this would be too depressing. Imahine going back to a world before 9/11, 2008, Trump, all that late-stage-capitalism and internet-fascists.
Not telling you about the good old times, it's just: It's been fucked up, y'all.
You know, I would watch an Austin Powers 4 where he is thawed out in the present, is caught up with current affairs, and then can't cope. He just spends the rest of the movie depressed. Maybe he even kills himself. It wouldn't be funny but I would watch it.
Legendary nickname.
