Antonio Banderas' Puss in Boots, as played in Shrek 2, has become so popular that DreamWorks is giving him his own film, currently slated for a direct-to-video release. Maybe it was the amount of votes he got on Far Far Away Idol, as presented on the Shrek2 DVD.

Ed Decter and John Strauss have been hired to write the script, and the exact storyline is unknown at this point. No deal has been signed yet, but Banderas has often said he loves the role and will likely return to voice the character.
