Shrek's Scottish accent cost Dreamworks $5 million

Posted: 14 Jun 2008 09:54 PM CDT

Entertainment Weekly has a long article in this week's issue, basically saying Mike Myers is a jerk. I don't think they dug up anything that hasn't been written many times before, but I hadn't heard this:

Myers' clout extended beyond Austin Powers. Midway through production on Shrek, he decided the ogre should speak with a Scottish accent — an inspired notion that cost DreamWorks roughly $5 million in wasted animation.

You can read the whole article here.

I'm pleased to say the same issue of EW lists Camp Camp, which I recommend earlier this week, as one of nine "musts" this week.

(My favorite Mike Myers movie is So I Married An Axe Murderer.)

OK, right after I dig out that paint can, I'm going to visit my folks and dig out the old AT-AT.

Puma has a site called "Silent Gesture" honoring Tommie Smith, of Olympic protest fame. I whipped up this simple desktop from a "sticker" that can be downloaded from the site. Via.
