Tom Wheeler Writing Puss in Boots

January 30, 2009

TV scribe Tom Wheeler has been hired to write the "Shrek" spinoff Puss in Boots for DreamWorks Animation, a stand-alone feature foray for the feline assassin/swordsman voiced by Antonio Banderas in the two most recent "Shrek" films.

The Puss in Boots character, originally hired to knock off the grumpy green ogre, debuted in Shrek 2, which is the 10th-highest-grossing movie of all time. He went on to become part of Shrek's entourage.

Chris Miller, who added voices and dialogue to previous "Shrek" installments and co-directed and co-wrote the third movie, wrote an earlier draft of the "Puss" screenplay.

he co-wrote the third? well, thats all the information we need i guess. I mean if it took two of them to write the crap one, and now one of the brains is going at it on his own, its gonna be even worse. ow, poor puss. he doesnt know whats ahead of him. Well, he had a good run. bless.

The first movie I saw where I recognised Christopher Walken was "Puss In Boots." He was fantastic.
