Shrek 5 back on the cards (June 16, 2016)
Quote:
Firstly, we learn that DreamWorks Animation’s movie slate is now under the creative control of Illumination’s Chris Meledandri. And one of the first jobs on Meledandri’s desk? “He is creatively going to try and help us figure out how to resurrect Shrek”, NBC Universal chief executive Steve Burke has revealed.
DreamWorks had been planning a Shrek 5 a year or two back, but the new Universal plan seems bolder than that, with several potential sequels on the cards. That said, just reigniting audience interest in a franchise the suffered from declining quality over its time will be the first challenge.
