"Shrek 4" and "Hoodwinked 2" On The Way!
You can look forward to more CGI goodness from the jolly green ogre in the coming years, including "Shrek 4" (yes, you're right, "Shrek 3" isn't even out yet) and the mark of every Very Important Pop Culture icon -- the televised holiday special.
The folks over at Pacific Design Images spilled the "Shrek" sequel news to Coming Soon, divulging that there is a "Shrek 4" in the works, but no details on story or when we might expect it in theaters. When asked, production designer Guillaume Aretos slyly pled the fifth: "I am going to use the Scooter Libby thing. I do not recall."
No matter, since the PDI crew shared more on another "Shrek" production -- one that we'll for sure see shortly. A very special half-hour "Shrek" show is in the works ("Shrek the Halls") to be broadcast on ABC this December; expect familiar "Shrek" regulars (and a few new ones) to celebrate holiday traditions in their own quirky, fairy tale ways.
More excitingly, "Shrek the Halls" promises to continue storylines that will arise in "Shrek the Third," which is due out this May.
Art Director Peter Zaslav also told CS that we'll have ample opportunity to watch "Shrek the Halls" for many seasons to come: "It's actually going to be on for fifteen years every Christmas. That's the plan."
Meanwhile, in other CGI sequel news, Variety reports a second "Hoodwinked" is on its way. The follow-up, already titled "Hoodwinked 2: Hood Vs. Evil," will be helmed by longtime animator, first-time director Michael Disa (whose animation credits range from 1992's "Cool World" to 2005's "Pooh's Heffalump Movie"). Pic is scheduled for a 2008 release.

on Apr 02 2007 10:39 AM The Shrek series is great and all, but I think they should take a page from Pixar's book and spend more time creating great original movies instead of pumping out more sequels. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 02 2007 10:58 AM [b]GARBAGE!![/b] Talk about milking a series... Let's see how much money comes out!! damn it all to hell... Don't get me wrong I liked Shrek. It was a godd (if ugly) movie... To much bright colors... didn't blend well at all... Shrek 2 - Equally as ugly... And not as good... Just let it die, man. If this show becomes an ABC TV show. I'm quitin'! (Reply to this) |

on Apr 03 2007 05:40 AM I enjoyed both Shrek and Shrek 2. The original Shrek has to be considered a modern animation classic, and while Shrek 2 wasnt as good as the original, it has some of the best CGI animation I have ever seen. These movies though have an obviously CGI feel but are gorgeous to behold. I'm ready for as much Shrek as they are ready to dish out coz the movies are realy well made but the Series is sure gonna suck. Overkill I would say. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 03 2007 10:38 AM I really liked the first two Shrek's and am looking foreward to the 3rd, have to see how I like that one before I decide how I feel about a 4th one being on the way. I hated Hoodwinked, so I'm not looking foreward to another one at all, what a horrible idea, I hope it flops badly. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 03 2007 11:26 AM The first was pretty classic. The second made me sleepy. Dont care about the third, really wish theyd just let it die. (Reply to this) |
