Feature news: Shrek 3? Bleck.

Bleck 3
Oh gawd, not another teen anxiety about being royal movie. Oh gawd, not another Shrek movie. Oh gawd, they're one and the same?

Yes, it turns out Shrek 3 will star acting vertuoso Justin Timberlake as Artie, a young pre-King Arthur. Artie incidently is Queen Lillian's nephew. Shrek must teach the rebellious teen how to act like royalty. My advice? Save your money and buy The Princess Diaries, its much more enjoyable than this May 18, 2007 flick sounds like it will be.

Back in the Kingdom of Far, Far Away, Prince Charming attempts a coup d'etat, but is foiled when Fiona organizes all the princesses into an underground Resistance movement.

Cameron Diaz, Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Antonio Banderas reprise their roles.

DreamWorks has other films in development, including Over The Hedge (2006), Bee Movie (November 2007) and Flushed Away (2006, Aardman's first CGI film). And of course, there's going to be a sequel to Madagascar. So what if no one's seen it, start a sequel.
