Shrek (Mike Myers) has become a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, the grown-reluctant ogre agrees to autograph pitch forks.
Longing for the days when he felt like a "real ogre," Shrek is tricked into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin (Walt Dohrn.) Shrek suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumplestiltskin is king, Donkey (Eddie Murphy) is an intellectual, Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) is still alive, and Shrek and Fiona (Cameron Diaz) have never met.
Now, it's up to Shrek to undo all of Rumpelstiltskin's mischief in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world, and reclaiming his One True Love and family.
I like the first two Shrek movies but didn't care for the last one Don't know if I will see this one

Loved the first one, really disliked the second one, didn't bother with the third one.
Having said that, I'm keen. Sounds damn interesting.

I really liked the previous ones (yes, even #3) but this trailer looks AWFUL. I'm probably still going to end up seeing it but have no excitement for it whatsoever

The first two were great, the third was ok. I hope Justin Timberlake is nowhere to be seen...
The premise sounds good, but that trailer is pretty naff. I hope they don't recycle the jokes from the first two films like they did for the the third.
Paul McCartney? Eh? How odd...
Also, 3D? Again? Boring.

Do you think this one will have about 95 modern pop culture references within the first 10 minutes?

Where is everyone getting Paul McCartney being in this from? It's in the first post of this thread where andrew8798 talks about the plot. Edit: Hmm, but IMDB doesn't. Edit 2: Seems he may not be Rumplstilskin but he is doing the soundtrack and perhaps a character: www.filmofilia.com/2008/11/10/paul-mccartney-in-shrek-4/
