Remarkableriots Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 https://screenrant.com/shrek-puss-boots-reboot/ Quote Variety is now reporting that Universal intends to reinvent one of DreamWorks Animation's most popular properties: the Shrek franchise. The report states that new Shrek and Puss In Boots movies will be overseen by Chris Meledandri, but while these films won't be straight sequels of the established Shrek series, it seems that Universal doesn't exactly intend to start from scratch either. Meledandri told Variety: “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 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... You want to find something in the narrative that really feels like a departure.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_MH Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 A reboot with the same cast...ok... Who was asking for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I feel like there is enough Shrek content out there right now and I'm not sure I need more. Having the same cast seems like a good idea but also pretty stale at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Only if they use real-life costumes and not CGI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_MH Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 2 hours ago, Remarkableriots said: The fans? No, because the fans would just want more stories in the Shrek universe. The fans are who gave Puss in Boots multiple movies and, what, a six seasons of a TV series. I'm not convinced the fans want to toss out that very recent history.

TwinIon Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I know these movies made a lot of money, and I have relatively fond memories of the first two, but I'm curious as to how well these will actually do. I would not be surprised if they perform much worse than the originals, which is admittedly a high bar to clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number305 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 So if they just threw another movie out there and didn't tell anyone it was a 'reboot' ... would anyone really notice? I mean is there a Shrek fan base out there that is keeping track of continuity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurdyb1 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Reboot? Why? Current continuity is just fine if they want to make more Shrek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkableriots Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 Sounds like they just worry if they call it Shrek 5 and so on that it would effect the box office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
