JoBlo brings us the latest word on what’s going down in Shrekworld, and it seems that the second sequel will NOT be called "Shrek 3," but instead "Shrek the Third," as if that makes any sort of difference. Aside from the stunning bit of news, DreamWorks also treated us to a mini-synopsis, which you can read right here…

"SHREK THE THIRD finds Shrek and Fiona reluctantly reigning over Far, Far Away. But if they can find the heir to the throne and bring him back, they can return to their swamp. While Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boots are in search of the heir, Fiona holds off a coup d’etat by Prince Charming."

Returning for a third go-round are Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy, and they’ll be rejoined by sequel-pals Julie Andrews, John Cleese, Rupert Everett, and Antonio Banderas. Oh, and Justin Timberlake is in there, too, just so you know…
