It appears that Shrek still has a way to go until his Happily Ever After!Jeffrey Katzenberg has just revealed that a fifth instalment in the Shrek film franchise may soon enter the works. The series appeared to reach a natural conclusion in 2010 with its fourth outing, Shrek Forever After (which earned itself an underwhelming 3* score at On-Screen at the time), but it turns out that you can't keep a 'good' (read: cash-hoarding) franchise down for particularly long.
Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Entertainment, had this to say to Variety on the brewing project: "We like to let [the films] have a little bit of time to rest. But I think you can be confident that we'll have another chapter in the Shrek series. We're not finished, and more importantly, neither is he." His words come in the wake of Merlin Entertainment's announcement yesterday that Shrek: A Far, Far Away Adventure will open in County Hall and other venues, indicating that as Warner Brothers' classic Harry Potter series makes a resurgence with spin-off films and interactive global attractions in the years to come, so too will perhaps DreamWorks' best-loved saga of fantasy movies be around for a fair while yet!
Shrek: A Far, Far Away Adventure will début at London's County Hall in 2015.
