Nothing says time-honored, prestigious film festival like a pile of farting ogres. Yes, oh yes, “Shrek 4: Shrek Forever After” will debut at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York this year, making independent filmmakers, who have worked their whole lives and crafted harrowing and deeply personal films to get accepted into the festival, realize that what they should of done was spend $150 million dollars to create a 3D rendered image of a hot tub powered by passed gas.
Tribeca has long been a festival that went out of its way to get recognition for under-the-radar, dark or unusually compelling films that wouldn’t necessarily get the attention they had ought to get because the directors forget to include a scene where Will Smith walks away from an explosion in slow motion. However, the festival has also traditionally always started with a giant blockbuster movie to draw crowds: past films starting the festival include “Star Wars II: The Attack Of The Clones,” “The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen,” and “Spider Man 3″—and if those films are any indication, then “Shrek 4″ should expect to completely fail its objectives, do poorly, and be almost universally reviled.
Expect several fan favorite jokes to reoccur in the new Shrek movie including having Starbucks be renamed something medieval in the background of a shot, Shrek passing gas when he had ought for the sake of decorum not do so, and a donkey speaking out of turn.
