File this one under the category of “News my girlfriend and all her friends will love to hear”. Looks like former Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker has signed on to do one of the voices in the upcoming Shrek 3.
The Shrek series has turned out to be a solid one. Not fantastic films, but very entertaining and doesn’t seem to “get old” (you know what I mean?). The good folks over at Monsters and Critics offer up this:
The former “Sex and the City” star is quotes as saying, “I am delighted to be doing a role that my children and friends’ children will be able to see.” Shrek 3 is due for a May 2007 release with the rest of the cast expected to return.
This all sounds fine. Parker is a pretty decent actress, but she doen’t exactly have a unique voice that could stand out in an animated feature like Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy or John Lithgow. Then again, there’s nothing really special about Cameron Diaz’s voice and that turned out alright.
