/Film is reporting via USA Today that the upcoming fourth Shrek film will be the last in the series. Respectfully and graciously I say unto this, “Bullshit.”
Dreamworks (and Hollywood as a whole) have very few franchises that can make such serious bank (the other remaining heavy hitters: Spider Man, Twilight, Harry Potter, Batman, Pirates.) The fact that they would give up on one of them is absurd. So, stop trying to pull a fast one on us here, we all know that the last Shrek film is equivalent to that of the last Rolling Stones farewell tour. It’s not over until somebody dies.
As if that were painful enough the article also includes plot details…
The story is a mashup of The Brothers Grimmand It’s a Wonderful Life: “Shrek is feeling over-domesticated. He has lost his roar.” “To regain his ogre mojo, he strikes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin,” but “the pact goes awry and Shrek must confront what life would be like in Far Far Away if he had never existed. That translates into Donkey being forced into cart-pulling duty, fat and lazy Puss in Boots trading his sword for a pink bow and the underhanded Rumpelstiltskin ruling the kingdom.”
Not only are they lying about this being the last film, they couldn’t even come up with an original story. Yes I know It’s A Wonderful Life has been done a million times over so it’s not much of a travesty (even Rugrats did it), and it’s really a variation of A Christmas Carol (another beaten to death tome), but you’d think the writers could try and squeak out something fresh. Too much to ask for?
Whatever, I didn’t see the third Shrek film and most certainly won’t be seeing this one either.

Shrek The Third wasn’t very good. This one doesn’t seems to be better.
