MIKE MYERS MOVIE COULD SCARE DISNEY EXEC



LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) – Mike Myers’ ogre character in the upcoming animated flick Shrek may scare Disney head honcho Mike Eisner more than anyone else. According to insiders at Dreamworks – the company behind the movie – Myers’ character, a “cynical no-nonsense” ogre, bears a striking a resemblance to Eisner – and it’s no coincidence. Word has it the unflattering Eisner impression is Shrek producer Jeffrey Katzenberg’s way of getting even with his former boss for calling him “a little midget” during his days at Disney. Although no one at the Mouse is squeaking about the uncanny resemblance between Eisner and the Ogre, insiders predict the Disney heads will be cheesed off. Shrek – which also features the voices of Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz – will hold its world premiere on Sunday (April 22) and will debut nationally on May 18.
