The producers of Goldmember also held an open casting call in October in Hollywood. A press release stated they were looking for 16- to 22-year-olds with a physical resemblance to Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Number Two (the character played by Robert Wagner and Rob Lowe), and Basil (the character played by Michael York). It also mentioned they should be able to perform an impression of the characters to play their younger counterparts.
She's the village bicycle. Everybody's had a ride
No Austin Powers movie would be complete without a love interest. We all know what became of the explosive Vanessa Kensington, played by Elizabeth Hurley. Is anything of that magnitude in store for Felicity Shagwell? Luckily for Austin, he never forgets a pussy...cat.
While Heather Graham will make a cameo appearance in Goldmember reprising her role as Felicity, her fate remains a secret. Rumor has it Graham did not want to sign on to the project if her character was to perish.
But after all, Austin just got his mojo back and it would be a shame to waste his restored libido on one woman. The new Austin Powers babe will be the Destiny's Child temptress Beyoncé Knowles.
Irish R&B singer Samantha Mumba has also recently signed on to the project, but her role has not been announced.
Oohhh behave!
