Because You Asked For It: Puss in Boots Gets Spin-Off

Puss in Boots in Shrek 29

Since the Shrek films have made four hundred trillion dollars worldwide in plastic bobble-heads alone, a fourth movie is coming out, hilariously titled Shrek Goes Fourth. Get it? Neither do I.

But since the popularity of the flicks hasn’t dropped off that much since Shrek 2 became the 10th highest grossing film of all time, The Hollywood Reporter is Hollywood reporting that a spin-off is definitely going to happen featuring Puss in Boots.

Despite Antonio Banderas not being able to complete a sentence in the recording booth without ripping his shirt off, the studio is willing to deal with that too-sexy inconvenience and has hired on Tom Wheeler to write the script.

What do you think? How far can one franchise get away with popularity?

Bleh, I pased after the first Shrek movie was a bore fest in terms of action.

Agreed. The only part I really liked in Shrek was when Donkey insinuates that Shrek farted in his mouth while crossing the bridge over lava. I believe the quote was "Man, you gotta warn somebody before you just crack one off. My mouth was open and everything." Because I award +1 point for every insinuated fart in the mouth and +2 for every actual fart.

According to that scale, a little independent feature called "2 Girls 1 Cup" is the high scorer. (Yes, I'm still making 2G1C references and yeah I just made up an acronym for it.)

Very true, Eddie Murphey actually made the movie watchable...and when will I ever use that phrase again??

So my 30 title submissions of how varying people "Love some of that Puss" didn't go over well... Ok.

I'm down with this, puss was awesome.

A mention of 2 girls 1 cup only leaves me baffled and confused as was my reaction when I initially saw it.

I thank God I was warned ahead of time, and never saw 2 Girls, 1 Cup.

Milk that Shrek franchise for all it's worth!

yo mumma

I dont think anyone who isnt British or hasnt seen Blackadder gets the title of the fourth shrek. A very funny comedy here in the UK had its FOURTH series called Blackadder goes Forth...in reference to that series being the fourth...
Anyway, way to go ripping off the title Shrekie.
Shrek sucks. End of story.
