Shrek Forever After
史瑞克4》

北美上映时间:5月21日
The Pitch: 'It's Shrek's midlife crisis,' says
director Mike Mitchell of DreamWorks Animation's fourth and final
installment of the 'Shrek'
franchise. Bored by his
domesticexistence with Fiona and their ogre children, Shrek signs a magic contract to get back just one day of his carefree, premarital life But the contract, drawn up by the film's
villain, Rumpelstiltskin, instead catapults Shrek into an
alternateuniverse in which he was never born -- and where Rumpelstiltskin has a shot at
taking over the kingdom.
看点:《史瑞克4》是美国梦工厂(DreamWorks Animation)制作的"史瑞克"系列影片中的第四部也是最后一部。
The Prospects: With a boost from 3-D, now seen as de rigueur for big-budget animation, the movie is expected to gross as much as $1
billion world-wide. (DreamWorks has already scheduled a spin-off, 'Puss in Boots,' for late fall 2011. It tells how he 'got to be the way he is, how he was once
heroic and now he's lazy -- and fat,' says Antonio Banderas, who provides the cat's voice.)
该片导演迈克•米切尔(Mike Mitchell)说,影片讲述的是史瑞克的中年危机。史瑞克厌倦了与妻子菲奥纳(Fiona)和怪物孩子们的家居生活,他签订了一份神奇的合同,希望再过上一天自由自在的婚前生活。不过,这份由片中的大反派侏儒怪(Rumpelstiltskin)设计的合同却把史瑞克弹射到了另外一个他还没有出生的时空,在那里,侏儒怪想夺得王国的掌控权。
