Rumor says that Indian film maker that directed the latest Elisabeth movie is already working on another project. Far from the last he completed, his new movie will be based on a tale emerging from city subterranean freeways – the cockroach world.
Shekhar Kapur is hoping that his animated future project will be an even greater hit than the Oscar nominated Elizabeth. He is pretty reluctant in divulging any details about the storyline, fearing apparently someone will come to copy his idea and use it themselves. But digging deeper you will find out that Kapur is aiming to present a world dominated by the menacing cockroaches, a world in witch the insects we try to exterminate every day are the only species still standing on planet earth.

Shrek fans will have the chance to see a holiday in the swamp. The star of the trilogy which bears his name is going to reprise his role in a Christmas special, set to air Wednesday on ABC.
Reuniting for the sure-to-be holiday hit are Cameron Diaz and Mike Myers, who provide the voices for Princess Fiona and Shrek, respectively. Diaz is hopeful that the first Christmas that the green ogre spend with family and friends will become a tradition for families everywhere.
She says, “It’s just wonderful to see how they celebrate their Christmas and what it means to them. And the humor is there and the beauty is there and the message is there.”
The story unfolds as Shrek tries to make the holidays perfect for Fiona and their three children. However, he is interrupted by some uninvited guests, including the ever present Donkey and Puss in Boots. Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas are back to voice those well-loved characters.
Despite Shrek’s descent into Scrooge-like behavior, he eventually realizes what Christmas is all about. Diaz says, “He’s grown so much…it’s kinda great to see where he’s at now that he has a family and he’s experiencing life with other people for the first time…you know, investing in them.”
Sounds like a fairy tale life….
