You've got to be kidding.....Why is so much of Hollywood unoriginal now?! I don't get why not making a sequel/prequel/midquel, or using the new story idea with brand new characters, locations/worlds, etc...they think it'll make more $ just because it has Shrek? Maybe it will and that's the point?
*edit* They want to get the original voice actors back? So it's not so much a reboot as a continuation, eh? I'm totally fine with that.

But what does
even mean? Redesigning the characters? New origin story, same voices? We'll see...“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.”
*edit* I'm just doing my routine Disney news scouting, & Shrek news is everywhere!

UPDATE: Sources with knowledge of the situation tell Cartoon Brew that the initial report in Variety was misleading, and although Illumination head Chris Meledandri could potentially be involved with the upcoming Shrek film, it will still be a Dreamworks Animation film and produced by Dreamworks’ animation team.
