First Pic from Shrek Forever After!

Whether you were delirious or dismayed to discover yet more Shrek sequels were in production, chances are the ugly-Ogre-that-could will still rule the box office come opening weekend, and you'll likely be seeing it.

The next installment is titled Shrek Forever After - get it? As in 4-ever - as in this is the fourth Shrek...

The loveable Scots-brogued Shrek, after getting married and having kids, is struggling with domestic existence. He strikes a deal with the underhanded Rumpelstiltskin, and ends up seeing what the world would be like without him in it.

In the Shrek free world, Donkey has been forced into cart-pulling duty, fat and lazy Puss in Boots trades his sword for a pink bow and the devious Rumpelstiltskin rules the kingdom.

New voices for the film include Kathy Griffin and Kristin Schaal voicing a pair of ogre-hunting witches and a resistance group led by Jon Hamm as, says director Mike Mitchell ( Sky High ), the best-looking ogre you’ve ever seen.

Well that hasn't exactly got our knickers in a twist, but we do love Jon Hamm.

The trailer for Shrek Forever Afte r is expected to premiere before screenings of Avatar this Christmas. The film is released July 9, 2010.
