Shrek to be rebooted by Minions creator - AND THEY DONT STOP COMING AND THEY DONT STOP COMING AND THEY DONT STOP COMING AND THEY DONT STOP....

I'm guessing their main motive is capitalizing on the Shrek memes. Expect lots of shitty forced "PLEASE MAKE THIS A FUNNY MEME" moments in the reboot.

Minion memes used by nice girls on FB but it's replaced with Shrek...i'd say an ogre would be accurate on their appearance.

I'm not all surprised they'd capitalize on a pretty successful modern cult classic. I'd probably watch it but I feel like the CG is not going to be eye candy. Shrek looked pretty bad but something made it appealing. Like you could see Eddie Murphy as Donkey.

But seriously I've seen the first Shrek one time ever. I didn't know it was a sacred cow.

Shrek appeals a lot to me because it's an absolutely perfect example of how you can lampoon fairy tale tropes while also creating a delightful and satisfying fairy tale in of itself. It's the millennial generation's The Princess Bride.

It's rather ironic a story about how silly and overused so many fantasy elements are is now in of itself a bloated franchise.

If they have different voice cast I'm sure it will be worth at least a few laughs, inb4 black Shrek and White donkey. It's either a cash grab on the forced meme thing like mentioned above, or just a boring old cash grab because it's been awhile since the last one and they're hoping to get a new generation "into Shrek".

Movie would've been way different but I like Farley's emotional range. Makes Shrek seem more human.

Yeah thats what I thought. Honestly I think a properly 2d animated Farley voiced shrek may not have done so well at the box office, but if this sample is any indication it could have been a far better and more memorable film

I miss Chris Farley :(

I dunno but a few years ago a chunk of the original 2d storyboards and Chris Farley's voice work for Shrek made its way to youtube so it wouldn't surprise me

I seem to recall one of the DVD versions for Shrek 1 included deleted scenes via storyboard, and it sounded like they couldn't get Myers to voice Shrek, but it's been so long since I actually pulled out my Shrek DVD I can't tell either way.

Shrek was written with Chris Farley in mind, but he passed away when two-thirds of his lines were recorded, so they had to rewrite the character when they recast Myers in his place. That's why it's not all that surprising the two Shreks are considered different characters.

I never really had a problem with Myers' work in the movie. I know he's kind of an acceptable target at times because of his scenery-chewing but he played this part well.

I was under the impression that Despicable Me (1) wasn't really made with the minions planned, they were just something that Comcast had bouncing around and were looking to get into some pop culture shit and DM got the short straw.
