Looks like Mike Myers has found someone to help him get over the trauma of the fact that his last cinematic appearance was The Cat In The Hat, a pain that can only slightl꧑y 𒁏be soothed by the mountains of cash he gets for voicing Shrek.

Yes, Marco Schnabel will direct a film based around one of Myers’ characters, Indian Guru Pitka. Announced as an untitled project early last year, the comedy has been gestat🗹ing slowly as the comedian took the character to New York comedy clubs to hone what wi꧅ll almost certainly not be a terrible racist caricature.

With a script co-written by Myers and Graham Gordy, the movie is now hunting for a 2008 release spot on⛦ Paramount’s schedule, and then we all get to see Pitka help a squabbling couple solve their romantic woes.

And just who is Schnabel? He has no actual directing credits to his name, but he has a big plus – he’s worked on all the Austin Powers movi🌟es and is a༺pparently a protégé of Jay Roach. So he knows how to wrangle Myers…
