Having lived in New York for nearly a decade, it's fair to
say that I've seen some strange, strange sh*t. Between the subways and the
alleyways, there are corners you can turn in Manhattan that feel like you've
just wandered into Labyrinth. Many
of those corners are near and around Tribeca. So when this year's Tribeca Film
Festival rolls into town, should you stroll into the center of some
intersection and see a seven-foot-tall, greenish-looking troll, we assure you
that it's not the local homeless dude.
It's Shrek.
The TFF announced recently that Shrek Forever After, the
fourth and supposedly final chapter in DreamWorks' ongoing family fairy tale,
will open the 2010 festival on April 21st. And in 3D, no less! Actually, considering that everything seems to come in 3D these days, we're not surprised at all.
"We have always sought to open our festival with films
that are captivating and strike an emotional chord with moviegoers. Shrek
Forever After combines the very best storytelling and artistry, while
showcasing the wonders of 3D filmmaking," said Jane Rosenthal, co-founder
of the festival.
Staring Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and Antonia
Banderas - each as alternate-world versions of their classic characters - Shrek
Forever After opens in theaters on May 21, 2010.
