A FAMILY AFFAIR IN “SHREK 3”

As Shrek’s story grows larger, so too does the family of actors who bring the characters to life. Though it would be impossible to imagine any Shrek film without the commanding voices of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz, it is now just as difficult to picture Shrek’s world without the familiar expressions of Antonio Banderas, Julie AAndrews, Rupert Everett, John Cleese and Larry King. For "Shrek 3," the family expands to include Justin Timberlake, Eric Idle, Cheri Oteri, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Amy Sedaris, John Krasinski, Ian McShane and Regis Philbin. Much of the production revolves around the title character. And Mike Myers has been looking forward to Shrek 3 as if it was a family reunion. ‘I have a good time doing Shrek," he says. ‘You get to be silly and I love Donkey and Fiona and Puss in Boots and the whole thing. I get very happy when I get into this world." ‘These films, they touch people. They give them a message and they give them a good time. It’s such a privilege to be part of the Shrek Legacy," adds Cameron Diaz.
