Shrek (Chris Farley)

From Cancelled Movies Wiki
In the late 1990s, Universal Pictures and Amblimation planned on making a Shrek film with Chris Farley voicing the titular character.

Plot

The plot was similar to that of the 2001 film, but with notable differences. Such as Shrek being a teenager who was kicked out by his parents, and going on the adventure to find princess Fiona to prove his worth to them.

Why It Was Cancelled

  1. Chris Farley died before production was complete, and when Mike Myers was recasted, he did not want to compete with Chris Farley's version, having the writers redo the script to make it his own.
  2. Amblimation was shut down in 1997 following the box office failure of Balto.

Results

  • The Chris Farley version was permanently cancelled.
  • After Chris Farley died, Mike Myers finished the rest of the unused dialogue in the Chris Farley version and Cameron Diaz later replaced Janeane Garofalo as the voice of Princess Fiona out of respect of Farley's death and her relationship with Farley.
  • DreamWorks released Shrek in 2001 with Mike Myers as the voice of the title character.
  • In the 2010s, Chris Farley's voice recordings surfaced.
  • Amblimation closed in 1997 and production moved to DreamWorks in 1998.
