DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg is being quoted as saying that a new chapter from the Shrek franchise is coming.”We like to let them have a little bit of time to rest,” Katzenberg told Fox Business Network. “But I think you can be confident that we’ll have another chapter in the Shrek series. We’re not finished, and more importantly, neither is he.”So far, Variety picked it up as a “hint,” but that sounds less like a hint and more something that stops intentionally short of an official confirmation.Combined, the four Shrek films have grossed more than $2.5 billion worldwide, including about $750 million from just Shrek Forever After. The franchise singlehandedly established DreamWorks as a force to be reckoned with in the animation sphere. Since the end of the franchise, a number of direct-to-DVD releases have been made up comprised mostly of existing animated shorts. A Broadway musical based on the character was recently released to home video as well.
