Variety reports that a fifth SHREK movie may be on its way, four years after the most recent installment 'Shrek Forever After' was released.

In an interview with Fox Business Network airing today, Dreamworks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg teased, "We like to let them have a little bit of time to rest. But I think you can be confident that we'll have another chapter in the Shrek series. We're not finished, and more importantly, neither is he."

The four "Shrek" films have grossed $2.9 billion worldwide.

As BWW reported yesterday, Merlin Entertainments has teamed up with Dreamworks Animation to create a unique themed visitor attraction based on Shrek and his friends.

This landmark attraction, which will transport Visitors through a live interactive adventure featuring Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Puss in Boots and other favorites from the beloved franchise, will see an initial roll-out of six attractions over nine years.

The first attraction will open in London in the summer of 2015. This will be The First Time that Merlin, Europe's largest and the world's second-largest visitor attraction operator, has worked with a Hollywood studio to create a scaleable Branded entertainment experience based on a globally recognized entertainment franchise. This is also The First Time that Dreamworks Animation, home to global entertainment franchises including "Shrek," "Kung Fu Panda" and "How to Train Your Dragon," will help to produce an attraction of this magnitude by licensing the use of its characters and stories.
