HOLLYWOOD'S Cameron Diaz walked a green carpet in Sydney last night to launch Shrek The Third, the latest in one of the most successful film franchises of all time.
She joined her on-screen husband, the much-loved green ogre himself, and the chief executive of DreamWorks Animation SKG Jeffrey Katzenberg, to promote the film which opens here nationally on June 7 but has already smashed box office records in the United States.
It's fantastic, we couldn't be more happy, Diaz said of the film's early success after its opening weekend.
Diaz, dressed in a slight strapless dress on a chilly Sydney evening, stopped traffic passing the State Theatre twice to greet waiting fans and sign autographs.
She had no trouble delivering the sort of positivity about the film required for such an occasion and none of the waiting media could deny her sincerity.
Such figures would assure a third sequel to the Academy Award-winning original.
Shrek four is on the way, we're already working on it, Katzenberg confirmed on the green carpet.
Diaz, who has voiced the character Princess Fiona since the Shrek original, didn't hesitate when asked if she would be involved in another chapter of Shrek's story alongside the title character voiced by Mike Myers and Donkey, voiced by Eddie Murphy.
Absolutely, I'll be part of Shrek 98, she said.
I love being part of a film that has such integrity.
