ROTTEN TOMATOES: Time to Start Thinking About "Shrek 4"

Time to Start Thinking About "Shrek 4"

by Scott Weinberg | November 02, 2006

With "Shrek the Third" only about six months away, it's only logical that this news would hit the wire: Production on "Shrek 4" will begin sooner than later ... although the flick won't hit theaters until 2010. (2010??!!?)

From ComingSoon.net: "DreamWorks Animation reported its earnings for the third quarter of 2006 on Tuesday and revealed that Shrek 4 will hit theaters in 2010. Also, the Puss in Boots movie, previously expected to go straight to DVD, will instead be a theatrical release sometime after Shrek 4.

"'Puss in Boots' is a unique creative property that has the potential to be a valuable extension of the 'Shrek' franchise," stated Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation. "We are excited to be developing this into a feature film where we think it has the greatest opportunity.""

Four is overkill. I doubt at that point it'll really be that good. Still, if they continue to make this much money, they're probably going to go on forever.

I like the Shrek movies. I think it's a wise decision to release the Puss in Boots movie in theaters, plus that means it won't be complete shit.

I might be dead by 2010. If I am I'll take comfort in the fact I didn't have to see Shrek 4

The second was way better than the first. It'll be interesting. If you don't want a fourth movie, don't go watch it when it comes out.

You might as well have gone ahead and posted that a fourth time to illustrate your point.

I was turned off from the Shrek movies ever since I heard that Justin Timberlake would play a major role in Shrek 3.

Im not a fan of JT but he has not had any of hiis films released (yet) so no-one can judge 100% on his acting/voice over abilities.And he is 100 tiems better than K-fed appearing everywhere. At least JT made his own fame!
The shrek films arent masterpieces but are harmless fun and a good way to pass 2 hours. Id rather see a shrek film than a film full of guns and drugs etc. Sometiems we need to escape and Shrek films are good to do that in.

[b]May 21st, 2010!! Can't wait!![/b]
The Shrek flicks aren't the greatest of all time, but they've been a lot better than most of the crap that's released these days and remain some of the better animated flicks around. Or would anyone prefer Robots 2?

I for one am already marking my calendar: Friday, May 21, 2010!!
