Zach Galifianakis is the man, mainly because you will soon hear and see him in everything. Now "The Hangover" star is even considering a voice role in the upcoming "Shrek" spinoff "Puss in Boots."

Specifically, Galifianakis is in talks to voice Humpty Dumpty in the film, which follows the adventures of the feline swordsman. The story focuses on what happens to Puss before he runs into Shrek.

Chris Miller, co-director of "Shrek The Third," is helming the DreamWorks Animation title from a script by Tom Wheeler. Antonio Banderas' and Salma Hayek's voices will be featured in the film as well.

Two weeks ago Cinema Blend posted a story about the possibility of Tom Cruise being considered to lend his voice to one of the villains you’ll see in DreamWorks Animations’ “Shrek Goes Fourth,” but according to rep Jeff Raymond, that rumor is not true.

Talking to E! news, Raymond said, "As of today, there is no truth to the Tom Cruise-Shrek 4 rumor." But that's pretty much all he said about it.

Apparently, the rumor made it all the way into a Los Angeles Times blog entry after it first appeared. As of tomorrow, however, nobody will be talking about it anymore. Although DreamWorks declined to comment, this is pretty much it for now - no Cruise in the fourth "Shrek" flick.

And honestly, who cares anyway? I gave up on the stinky ogre after "Shrek the Third," and I doubt they'll be able to reinvent the franchise. If they do, good for them AND me. See you in far far away land...

It’s just a rumor at this point, but according to Cinema Blend, Tom Cruise is being considered to lend his voice to one of the villains you’ll see in DreamWorks Animations’ “Shrek Goes Fourth,” which is due in theaters in 2010.

As Josh points out, not much is known about the film at this stage. What we do know is that Mike Mitchell is going to direct. His credits include “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo,” the disastrous “Surviving Christmas” and the better “Sky High.”

Tom Cruise voicing a bad guy in a “Shrek” sequel? Well, why not? Chances are the film’s not going to be great anyway. I really enjoyed the first and second film in the series, but the enthusiasm started to wear off in “Shrek the Third.”

I’m not a big Tom Cruise fan, although I openly admit that I absolutely loved his recent cameo in Ben Stiller’s “Tropic Thunder.” Cruise will next be seen in “Valkyrie.”

Robert Downey Jr. and Tina Fey are in talks to voice the lead characters in DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming comedy “Master Mind,” according to Entertainment Weekly.

Written by Alan J. Schoolcraft and Brent Simons, this parody of the superhero genre centers on a villain who slips into a crisis after accidentally killing his nemesis.

As EW also points out, both Downey Jr. and Fey already have some voice-over experience. Downey Jr. lent his voice to a character in “A Scanner Darkly,” while Fey voiced a burrito in “Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters.”

Although this project sounds really interesting and the pairing of Downey Jr. and Fey seems perfect, just imagine how awesome it would be to watch them do this in live action.

Downey Jr. can currently be seen in Ben Stiller’s action comedy “Tropic Thunder.” He will next star opposite Jamie Foxx in Joe Wright’s “The Soloist.” As for Fey, she’s about to return for a new season of television’s “30 Rock.”
