Shrek 2
Sedaris, Poehler, Rudolph, Oteri for Shrek the Third
According to THR, Dreamworks needed to find a cast for its fairy tale princesses. Therefore, the studio has picked up Amy Sedaris as Cinderella, Amy Poehler as Snow White, Maya Rudolph as Rapunzel and Cheri Oteri as Sleeping Beauty.
All of these new characters will form a ladies underground lead by Princess Fiona as they fend off a coup d'etat by Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) in the land of Far, Far Away.
How happy are we to have Rupert Everett back as Charming? We can say it in four words -- "Why Thank You Mutha!"
The recent casting doesn't end with princesses, however, with Ian McShane (Captain Hook), John Krasinski (Sir Lancelot) and Monty Python veteran Eric Idle (Merlin the magician) joining the cast.
Shrek the Third finds the green ogre married to Princess Fiona, but becoming the next King and Queen of Far, Far Away wasn't part of his plan. When his father-in-law, King Harold (John Cleese), falls ill, it is up to Shrek to find a suitable heir or he will be forced to give up his beloved swamp for the throne. Recruiting Donkey and Puss, Shrek sets out to bring back the rightful heir to the throne, Fiona's rebellious cousin Artie. Back in Far, Far Away, Fiona's jilted Prince Charming storms the city with an army of fairy tale villains to seize the throne. But they have a surprise because Fiona, together with her mother, Queen Lillian (Julie Andrews), has drafted her fellow fairy tale heroines to defend their "happily ever afters." As Shrek, Donkey and Puss work on changing Artie from a royal pain into a future king, Fiona and her band of princesses must stop Prince Charming to ensure that there will be a kingdom left to rule.
Stay tuned for updates.
