How time flies, but the reality is that 11 years have passed since the famous Puss in Boots became independent from Shrek and arrived in theaters ready to overshadow the glory he had achieved in the movies of the funniest ogre in history. . An extraordinary spin off in the pre-fashion era of spinoff, that for his second installment has undergone a turbulent process of development. Now, finally, we have good news that looks great.
four years late
The Puss in Boots The Last Wish It will be the title of the new film of the character created by DreamWorks and based on the French popular tale of the 17th century. The story of a trickster cat who ends up becoming a gentleman respected by the king himself. Here, if you remember, the character became famous for his presence in Shrek 2, one of the best installments of the franchise and its impact was such that the animation production company understood that it would be a good idea to give it a separate opportunity. In a separate movie.
And they were not far off the mark because that first film was a success, which quickly led to the preparation of a sequel. Specifically in 2018, with a film entitled Puss in Boots: 9 lives and 40 thieves, which began to take shape in 2014. Unfortunately, those initial plans went awry despite going into production, and the result is that we’ve had to wait four more years to get this Last wish with us.
What can we expect from the movie?
First of all, it must be said that they will repeat the same actors in the main roles. Antonio Banderas will once again be Puss in Boots and Salma Hayek will slip into the skin of Kitty Patitas Suaves, although we will see in Spain how things turn out. For the first film, the actor from Malaga did lend his voice to double the main character, so we will see if he repeats it again in this sequel. For now, and until the film opens this year on September 23, DreamWorks has shown a first advance that we leave it right here below:
The film’s producer, Mark Swift, has acknowledged that many years have passed since the first film and that everything is due to that perfectionist desire that DreamWorks has shown in some of its previous productions. Surely the pandemic had to do with this longer waiting time, and even the production of the film, which has changed its title and very surely its plot, which makes it quite clear that the production company should not be too happy with the path that I was taking the project.
The story, if we take the trailer as a reference, puts Puss in Boots in the position of facing his last life, after having lost the previous eight in dramatic circumstances: rammed by a herd of morlacos in a confinement, crushed by a Japanese fighter, intoxicated by a seafood feast and five more that we leave you to enjoy in the video that you have above, and that they have published from Universal.
