Audiences lapped up Antonio Banderas' breakout character of Puss in Boots from 2004's "Shrek 2," so the star couldn't be happier now that he's heading back into the recording booth for three more appearances as the doe-eyed feline.
"Tomorrow I'm going to do my first session of recording for him," the "Mask of Zorro" star said earlier this week. "The story and the recording of the 'Shrek' [films] is very open. We improvise a lot, and many new things come [during] every session, and then they take all of that material and put it together with the animation." It was this experimental, throw-everything-at-the-wall process that resulted in some of the best Puss moments in "Shrek 2," so the giddy Banderas was happy to clue us in on a few potential ideas: "We will have the ['Puss in Boots' spinoff] movie — it is interesting to do a movie only with the character — called 'Puss in Boots: The Story of an Ogre Killer.' It would be between the third and the fourth 'Shrek.' And in the fourth 'Shrek,' I think, I'm going to play two characters: I'm going to play Puss in Boots and his badass brother. So I will have to invent another voice for him."
The next movie (which will co-star Justin Timberlake) will be titled "Shrek the Third" and is due in theaters May 2007; the Puss in Boots flick and "Shrek 4" are still awaiting release dates.
