Berlin - Galvanised by the booming US success of Shrek the Third, Jeffrey Katzenberg said on Friday the tale of the green ogre who married a princess will not be the last.
"More Shreks are coming!" producer Katzenberg, flanked by Cameron Diaz, Mike Myers and Justin Timberlake, said at a news conference in Berlin.
Katzenberg said the next film will be a half-hour animated TV special called Shrek the Halls, featuring the Shrek characters' own versions of holiday traditions.
As for the plot of fourth installment of the Shrek movie franchise, Katzenberg would only reveal that Shrek will have to come to terms with something difficult in his own past.
The group's appearance in Berlin was part of a world tour to promote the latest Shrek, which became a huge box office hit when it opened in the US last month. The film opens in Germany on June 21.
Timberlake, who voices the future King Arthur in the new movie, said his favourite moment while working on Shrek the Third was listening to director Chris Miller do the voices of the animated cast.
"He can actually do every voice," said Timberlake. "He does a pretty good Mike (Myers). He can't do a very good Shrek, but he can do a good Mike doing Shrek, so it was a lot of fun to work with him."
