The movie industry is still dealing with the catastrophic box office effects of the pandemic. However, Chris Meledandri<\/strong> (founder and CEO of Illumination) is still juggling his juggling act to keep churning out new movies.<\/p>\n\n\n

Last year, it was Illumination who managed to launch the highest-grossing animated film of 2022: Minions, the origin of Gru<\/strong>. The company’s next release, Super Mario Bros. The Movie<\/a>, also looks set to generate a good amount of money, but for its CEO it’s not enough. Meledandri also wants to bring back Shrek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to being a founder of Illumination, Meledandri is also a creative partner at DreamWorks Animation. In recent statements to Variety, the executive has expressed his intention to bring out a new Shrek movie<\/a> with its original cast (Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no deal is in place yet, Meledandri said that negotiations are going well: “We hope the original cast will return. Talks are starting now, and all indications are that there is enormous enthusiasm on their part to return.”<\/p>\n\n\n

Reasons to be optimistic are not lacking. After the recent success of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish<\/a>, he stated in January that “if DreamWorks were to bring out another Shrek movie, I would do it immediately<\/strong>.” In addition, he also dropped the possibility of bringing some other spin-off based on the saga: “They should have made a Donkey movie, [\u2026] I mean, I love Puss in Boots, but it’s not as funny as Donkey”. And when asked if he saw the possibility of an installment centered on the character, his answer was “without a doubt”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illumination is currently working on the screenplays for Mascots 3<\/strong> and Sing! 3<\/strong>, which is currently in production. At the moment, the most recent release we have from the company is Super Mario Bros. The Movie<\/a>, which will be released on April 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
