The world premiere of Shrek Forever After took place yesterday.
After challenging an evil dragon, rescuing a beautiful princess and saving your in-laws’ kingdom, what’s an ogre to do? Well, if you’re Shrek, you suddenly wind up a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, a reluctant Shrek now agrees to autograph pitch forks. What’s happened to this ogre’s roar? Longing for the days when he felt like a “real ogre,” Shrek is duped into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumpelstiltskin is king and Shrek and Fiona have never met. Now, it’s up to Shrek to undo all he’s done in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world and reclaiming his one True Love. Shrek Forever After opens in theaters on May 21, 2010.
The cast of the film, including Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddie Murphy (Donkey), Cameron Diaz (Fiona), Antonio Banderas (Puss In Boots), Jon Hamm (Brogan), Craig Robinson (Cookie), Ryan Seacrest (Father of Butter Pants) and Walt Dohrn (Head of Story and Rumpelstiltskin) as well as members of Shrek Forever After’s creative leadership team, including Mike Mitchell (Director and Butter Pants), Gina Shay and Teresa Cheng (Producers), Andrew Adamson, Aron Warner and John Williams (Executive Producers) as well as Josh Klausner and Darren Lemke (Writers) attended the premiere in Hollywood.
