The sequel to the insanely popular Shrek is starting to take shape. Jeffrey Katzenberg, the 'K' in DreamWorks SKG, chimed in on the subject this week to reassure fans that the movie's three main stars, Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy, have all agreed to appear in Shrek 2.

He also shed some light on the plot. Apparently, Shrek and Fiona return from their honeymoon to find that Fiona's parents have gotten word of their nuptials and have invited the newlyweds to come visit their kingdom (aptly called, Far Far Away). Unfortunately, they don't know about Fiona's cursed and are surprised to learn that their new son-in-law is a 700 pound ogre.
