According to Variety, both Shrek and Puss in Boots are going to be brought back. Chris Meledandri, producer and owner of Illumination, the studio that gave us the Despicable Me films, is overseeing the reboot.
Speaking about the reboot, Meledandri said that while he's been tasked with finding new approaches and stories to bring Shrek back, he's not going to mess with the voices.
“When you look back on those vocal performances they’re awesome, and while you certainly could make a case for a complete reinvention, I find myself responding to my own nostalgic feelings of wanting to go back to those characterizations,” the producer explained.
“The challenge for us has been to find something that really does feel like it’s not simply yet another film in a series of sequels.”
A challenge indeed. It's difficult to imagine a world in which there is any appetite left for Shrek and Shrek-related goods, but Meledandri believes that there is an opportunity there.
“There’s a tremendous amount of fun to be had in that world, but it’s a high bar to find a story that’s truly world,” he said. “You want to find something in the narrative that really feels like a departure.”
Shrek in Space - confirmed.
