[eng]Are you signed for Shrek 3?
I’m not signed, no, I haven’t signed. I heard that they are thinking about that possibility. I think the interesting thing about actually Jeffrey, Jeffrey Katzenberg has been responsible for the whole thing. Sometimes in sequels, what you have is just a producer, very smart, that tries to do the movie for four times the price that he did the first one. And use the hit of the first one just to make big easy money. But that’s not the case of Jeffrey. Jeffrey actually was kind of in competition mode with himself. He wanted just to overcome the first one and go further with the technology aspect of it and with the content of the movie and the insertion of different characters. I mean, he’s an ambitious man and an ambitious team and we were really make Shrek become one of those characters that is going to be forever into the American pop culture. That is interesting. This is a guy who can be common like Mickey Mouse. Those characters that are forever part of your brain, of your being, you know. I’m telling you, not just because I’m here to talk. If I weren’t in the second part, I would still be talking beautifully about Shrek because I am a fan of the first one.

How about a Puss in Boots spinoff?
That would be very successful, but I don't think it’s necessary but what we have in the movie, there is a sequel, that’s enough

Will there be another Zorro?
It is. We start the 26th of July.

Is everyone back?
Catherine is in the movie. Hopkins, no, because he got killed. We have a bunch of new bad guys, but we don’t know names yet. Last night I had actually a dinner with Martin Campbell and they’re putting together the whole thing now. But it’s green lit, we are going, and on the 26th of July, principal photography starts.

Who did the script?
The same guys who did the first one and did Pirates of the Caribbean and Godzilla, [Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot].

And Campbell’s directing?
Martin Campbell is directing the movie, Steven Spielberg producing.

Will you have to get back into Zorro shape?
Actually, I’m in pretty good shape now, but what I have to do obviously is just to go back to the sword and to the horse.

How different will this one be?
It’s a little bit more mature. It still keeps the adventure feeling and it keeps us with a hero, which is I think fundamental for Zorro. But it’s a little bit more mature. It’s more based in jealousy and concepts that are more for us than for kids.

Will you have a cameo in Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City?
No, they didn’t do that yet but it’s interesting. The other day, Harvey Weinstein called me and I couldn’t get a hold of him, so probably that’s what he wants to talk to me about. I don't know. I like the concept though. Robert Rodriguez showed me the concept. It’s beautiful. It’s going to be kind of a real comic book. [/eng]
