‘Shrek Goes Fourth’ Plot Synopsis Leaked

Alex Litel’s Lackluster Emporium has scoped out some interesting information.   He claims to have stumbled onto a copyright preregistration for ‘Shrek Goes Fourth’ that reveals the film’s synopsis.

Here’s what he found:

After challenging an evil dragon, rescuing a beautiful princess and saving your in-laws’ kingdom, what’s an ogre to do? Well, if you’re Shrek, you suddenly wind up a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, a reluctant Shrek now agrees to autograph pitch forks. What’s happened to this ogre’s roar? Longing for the days when he felt like a “real ogre,” Shrek is duped into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumplestiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumplestiltskin is king and Shrek and Fiona have never met. Now, it’s up to Shrek to undo all he’s done in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world and reclaiming his one True Love.

Is this the real synopsis for the film?   Is it just a false synopsis to leak out to the public?   Is it completely made up?   It certainly sounds like an interesting direction to take the series in, and, after the abysmal ‘Shrek the Third’, the franchise needs a shot of something to keep it alive.

What do you think?   Truth or fiction?   Let us know by commenting below!

The film is currently aiming for a May 21st 2010 release in conventional and IMAX theaters.
