NBCUniversal Wants More Shrek Sequels

Quote:
Deadline reports that Comcast/NBCUniversal, which purchased DreamWorks Animation for $3.8 billion, is looking to revive the Shrek franchise with more sequels. It’s the studio’s biggest franchise and has been dormant ever since 2010’s Shrek Forever After, which earned $752.6 million worldwide. It brought in less domestically ($239 million) than the first three films but performed better overseas. It was followed in 2011 by Puss in Boots, a spinoff that also did better internationally.

NBCUniversal chief executive Steve Burke said that Illumination Entertainment’s Chris Meledandri will be in charge of the new films.

He added: “He is creatively going to try to help us figure out how to resurrect Shrek and take a lot of the existing DreamWorks franchises and add value as we create new franchises.”

This comes after the recent opening of a theme park attraction called Shrek’s Adventure London by Dreamworks Animation and Merlin Entertainments. The plan is to push the company’s annual earnings into the double digit billions. Merchandising will also be a huge part of the future of Dreamworks.

In 2014, Jeffrey Katzenberg hinted that Shrek could return. He said at the time: “We like to let them 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.“

Ugh, WHY???

Cure 06-15-2016 06:22 PM
If they're as good as the first two, then awesome.

TheSkeletonMan939 06-15-2016 06:47 PM
I hate Shrek. Why do people like Shrek?

Utrommaniac 06-15-2016 06:53 PM
It's marketable. That's why.

Shrek: Started out making fun of Disney's trends of sequelitis and other such Disney things. Has started doing that.

You know what they say, you either die a hero or live to see yourself become the villain.

(Okay, but the Puss in Boots movie, as I can remember, was pretty good as a standalone film)

Andrew NDB 06-15-2016 09:46 PM
I want more Shrek sequels. So does my daughter. And more Puss in Boots.

Powder 06-15-2016 09:47 PM
I thought Shrek was only liked ironically now, as a sh*tpost.

Commenter 42 06-15-2016 10:48 PM
4 Shreks are more than enough

I enjoyed the first two and the third wasn't that bad. Hopefully Mike Myers can still voice Shrek.

Great, more delays for Austin Powers 4

Shrek is love; Shrek is life.

It's not ogre...

It's never ogre....

BabyTurtles 06-16-2016 01:30 PM
I enjoyed the first 2 movies~ (the second one was the best for me)
but....the last 2...ehhhh.

If they can get the feel of the first 2 movies then sure why not XD

TigerClaw 06-16-2016 01:39 PM
I only seen the 1st Shrek movie since I bought it on DVD many years ago.

ranger_scout 06-16-2016 06:51 PM
Do we really need another one? The last film wrapped up everything so nicely.

It's funny series with some heartfelt moments. The third film isn't very good, but the first, second, and fourth are very enjoyable.

thundermaster612 06-16-2016 07:15 PM
No moarrrr plzzzzzzzzzz

But seriously. The Shrek franchise is as alright as it is right now. Don't make more movies unless its a reboot or something. Maybe a TV show reboot on Netflix? their doing Bionicle and Voltron well, why not Shrek?

I love the 2nd one, the 1st and 4th were good, the 3rd is the weakest one in the series.

Shark_Blade 06-17-2016 07:15 AM
I don't want Shrek stories with their ogre babies. Disgusting and boring.

I pretend the 3rd one never existed.

If AP4 was going to happen, I think it would've a long time ago, sadly.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. Myers hasn't done much of anything since Love Guru

Shrek 5 coming in 2019

The fifth film is slated for a 2019 release.

Look at the above post dude.

CyberCubed 07-20-2016 01:39 PM
Didn't the first Shrek film come out in the early 2000's? The kids born now don't even know who Shrek is.

And all the original kids are now in their 20's (or will be by 2019)

Cure 07-20-2016 01:59 PM
Do you think people are born in weird isolated time bubbles where they're not gonna be aware of things that happened before they were born? Are you dumb?

So you have no idea about Cinderella, Snow White, or STAR WARSSSSS?

Mew 07-20-2016 02:06 PM
If Shrek is getting a new movie, it's a perfect time for him to be included in Smash Bros. Perhaps in the NX game we can see the Ogre?

But those are cultural phenomenons. Shrek 1 was big, but after the sequels the franchise faded away into obscurity besides kids who had nostalgia for the franchise.

Shrek 5 in 2019...who the hell is going to know what Shrek is? Especially since its not a reboot but "Shrek 5."

If you go to your average 10 year old kid today and say, "Do you know Shrek?" they'll stare at you like you're crazy.

TurtleTitan97 07-20-2016 03:14 PM
You're highly underestimating them if that's what you think.

No. The kids see Shrek as that meme along with Dat Boi.

Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy not true.


They still show movies like shriek all the time at day cares and schools. Shrek is popular enough that most know it.

Do you always think people have memory loss?

Exactly. Because everyone knows Shrek.

MikeandRaph87 07-20-2016 04:43 PM
It just proves even when the studio says "this is it. It needs a bow on it as it will be played out extending it further". It means nothing if someone can get money. It reminds me of Jerry McGuire.


Also, if Cubed was 10 today he would ask in confusion who Shrek is. Just because something takes place before one's choldhood does not mean much of anything.

You do realize Shrek is 15 years old now, right? Kids born today were not even around when the franchise came out.

And this sequel doesn't come till 2019, so that's even more years later

Cure 07-20-2016 05:22 PM
You're out of touch, you don't know what you're talking about, and you're delusional. You project your own uninformed opinions onto the world and accept them as absolute fact without any real world basis.

In other words, Shrek is still popular with kids and you're nuts.

Powder 07-20-2016 05:47 PM
I dunno why you guys engage him. It's a shtick.

Cure 07-20-2016 05:49 PM
Yeah, it is. I just wanted to say that and be out and done with it.
