Vintage original 27x40 in. US double-sided one-sheet poster from the smash 2000's animated fantasy adventure comedy, SHREK, released in 2001 by DreamWorks Pictures and co-directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson. Billed as "The greatest fairy tale never told," a mean lord exiles fairytale creatures to the swamp of a grumpy ogre, who must go on a quest and rescue a princess for the lord in order to get his land back. Starring the voices of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, John Lithgow, Vincent Cassel, Peter Dennis, and Clive Pearse. This is a double-sided one-sheet poster, which was issued for display at theaters inside of a light box. The image features an exterior shot of the main characters in front of a giant "S." Unrestored and rolled as originally issued, this vintage original one-sheet is in fine+ condition with two very light horizontal creases across the top and bottom third and light signs of wear along the top edge and on the bottom left corner. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws. The principal actors never met each other. They all read their parts separately, with a reader feeding them the lines. John Lithgow later admitted that, while he enjoyed playing Lord Farquaad, he was a little disappointed that he never actually worked directly withMike Myers, Cameron Diaz, or Eddie Murphy. Chris Farley was originally cast as Shrek and even recorded almost all of the dialogue. However, after his death, the role was given to fellow Saturday Night Live (1975) performer Mike Myers. Shrek's "air quotes" in the film is an homage to Farley, whose character, Bennett Brauer, also used air quotes. A story reel featuring a sample of Farley's recorded dialogue was leaked to the public in August 2015. Shrek received his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
