The final sequel in the ogre fantsay Shrek will open next year and it will also be the first to be shot in 3-D. Arriving May 21 next year, Shrek Forever After will conclude the Shrek franchise that has started since 2001 with a big bang.
"All that was loved about Shrek in the first film is brought to the final film," promises Bill Damaschke, head of creative production at DreamWorks. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas and Cameron Diaz are back as the voices of Shrek, sidekick Donkey, Puss in Boots and ogress wife Fiona. Newcomers include Kathy Griffin and Kristin Schaal as the witches who hunt ogres and Jon Hamm as the leader of an underground resistance group.
It was reported that the anchor story for the final Shrek movie will be based on the premise of The Brothers Grimm meet It's A Wonderful Life. “Shrek is feeling over-domesticated. He has lost his roar. To regain his ogre mojo, he strikes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin, but the pact goes awry and Shrek must confront what life would be like in Far Far Away if he had never existed. That translates into Donkey being forced into cart-pulling duty, fat and lazy Puss in Boots trading his sword for a pink bow and the underhanded Rumpelstiltskin ruling the kingdom.” - SlashFilm/USAToday
USAToday also premiered two exclusive photos from the movie, as you can see here.
The first trailer of the lack-of-hygiene-ogre-fairy-tale will premiered on December 18th, attached to James Cameron's Avatar. Mike Mitchell (Duke Bigelow, Surviving Christmas, Sky High) will direct the movie.
