Shrek 5 nabs Austin Powers screenwriter

DreamWorks Animation’s “Shrek 5” is being written by Michael McCullers, revealed “Trolls” helmers Walt Dohrn (writer of “Shrek 2”) and Mike Mitchell (director of “Shrek Forever After”).

“They’ve got a pretty good story,” said Mitchell in an interview with The Hollywood News. “It’s being written by Michael McCullers who wrote all of the ‘Austin Powers’ films. He came up with a really great idea that they’re exploring.”

“There’s more story to tell there and we’re ready to help tell it for sure,” added Dohrn.

While at this stage they’re not involved in the the fifth “Shrek” installment, the pair said they’d “love” board the project.
