DreamWorks' SHREK
Dreamworks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, currently gearing up for the third ‘Shrek’ movie, is planning a different twist for number four, due out 2010. The mogul revealed at Cannes that he has always envisioned the animated comedy series to be in four parts and that ‘Shrek 4’ will concentrate on the early years of the big, green ogre. It’s believed that with Shrek becoming a father in the third film, the fourth movie may feature Shrek talking about his younger years. It’s been speculated that a whole new cast of characters could be introduced to refresh the series. ‘Shrek the Third’ is out this summer.
Yeah right ! !

Re: Eric Idle story on front page

Wow...
Just my objective opinion: he hasn't got a legal leg to stand on.
He was in the movie. He agreed to it. He read the script. He took their money. There's no way any court would take him seriously.
Not after he actually acted in it.
Just my opinon, however.
It's true that animated movies change a lot as production goes on and maybe he didn't know the joke was going to be there....but still. A homage is a homage, especially if it's a fairy tale/middle ages setting. That's the point of the film. That's why he was in it. I'm sure they'd pay him a TON of more money just to be in Shrek 4. Talk about ungrateful...
Also, maybe this will hopefully teach DW not to use too many big-name actors in the future....with less known VO's, I very much doubt something like this could happen.

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
I don't think he knew it was going to be there, and that DWs probably felt he'd see "the light side of life" and chuckle at the homage.
Now, on the flip side, Idle is apparently quite the mean spirited Python among the bunch, and a bit peed generally that his career hasn't gone as stratospheric as the others, until Spamalot came along (I actually think he's had a pretty darn cool career but, well, he doesn't seem to think so).
The other side of this is, of course, that he's joking. He's also quite well known for joking close to edge, especially with money gags. My guess is this will blow over and either Cleese will step in, or Merlin is out of <I>4</I> without some kind of kickback.
That's if, of course, it's not a joke...

It's different enough, I think .. the 'coconut clapper' in Shrek the Third is providing 'foley' sound effects for a dinner theater/stage play, in one scene only; in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the 'clappers' are manservants who follow the knights wherever they go, throughout the film, so that the knights can 'pretend' they are on horseback in 'real life'.
Further, I'm pretty sure coconuts were used as a 'foley' source for horse gallops in stage, film, and radio, long before MPatHG ..
It's got to be in 'jest' ..
And I agree that Idle has had a great film career, even if he doesn't think so.
