“Shrek” Spinoff Featuring Antonio Banderas as “Puss In Boots” Underway

(HMG) – While the fourth and final Shrek film in the DreamWorks franchise is coming out this summer, one of it’s beloved characters may live on.  Antonio Banderas is working on a spinoff film starring his popular Shrek character Puss In Boots.

The Spanish-born actor will continue playing the title role of Puss, in a new movie, which will also star Salma Hayek and Zach Galifianakis.  The story focuses on Puss’ childhood, Antonio explains: “I already did the first recordings and it’s going to be called Puss In Boots — it starts when he was very little. He was in an orphanage when he first discovered the effect he has on people — that’s when he starts being intelligent.”

As for Shrek 4, Antonio says Puss will be in his rock star years: “This last one is very surprising because Puss is very fat – he just let himself go badly. So he doesn’t feel like hunting any more or killing others, he’s just lazy, very lazy.”

Shrek Forever After will be released on July 2.
