Our childhood favorite ogre will return to the big screen with a fifth film thirteen years later Shrek Forever After. Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy are in talks to return.

It's been over a decade since we last saw Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and Puss together at the movies. Since then, the people cried out for the return of the ogre and his friends. Alarms began to ring in December, when at the end of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Gato said they were going to see some old friends during a trip to Far Far Away.
