Fockers After Austin Powers

[Sunday, May 6th, 2001]
Director Jay Roach helmer of the successful 'Austin Powers' franchise and of the hit 'Meet the Parents', talks about both of thier sequels. He said that he would make 'Austin Powers 3' before the 'Meet the Parents' sequel, reported E! Online.

He also announced the sequel title 'Meet the Fockers', which reunites Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. "We're working on the story," he says. "We have lots of good ideas, but it might be a little while before we get to it. We just like the idea of Robert being confronted by Ben Stiller's parents and having them be as different as they can be. And maybe Robert's a little more off-balance. But we still want Ben to be struggling to keep it all together."

Roach says that contrary to reports, Heather Graham may not be eliminated from Austin Powers 3, à la Liz Hurley in The Spy Who Shagged Me. "We did that on the second one, but I'm not sure we're going to do the same thing--that's always formative."
