John Krasinski to Appear in Shrek 3

July 13, 2006 by Kath (Give Me My Remote)  

John Krasinskin in Shrek

DreamWorks Animation has cast a small medieval kingdom’s worth of fairy tale characters to appear in “Shrek the Third.

The next installment of the smelly ogre’s saga, set for release next year, will star an elite, ninja-like strike force of fairy tale princesses voiced by Amy Sedaris as Cinderella, Amy Poehler as Snow White, Maya Rudolph as Rapunzel and Cheri Oteri as Sleeping Beauty.

Organized by Princess Fiona, the ladies underground resistance movement fends off a coup d’etat by Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) in the land of Far, Far Away.

Also joining the hit animated comedy’s cast are Ian McShane as Captain Hook, John Krasinski as Sir Lancelot and Monty Python veteran Eric Idle as Merlin the magician.

And yes, I look for EVERY opportunity to post a very large picture of John Krasinski on this site.

    I didn’t even know they were making a Shrek 3.

    While I think JK has an amazing voice, I object to not being able to see his face in the movie. ;-)

    Also…I don’t think you need to explain or provide any excuse to post a picture of him. :-D

    Yay! I love Amy Sedaris. John will be great and they chose a few of favorite SNL cast members! Woot!

    Oh fun! I can imagine John K. having a blast with this.

    What’s awesome about this is that they use the voice actor’s facial expressions when they create the shrek characters, so we will see some John in Lancelot… which will be really neat :)
