Audio of Chris Farley voicing Shrek, the titular ogre from the DreamWorks animated franchise, has surfaced on YouTube. The uploader, user "Bedhead Bernie," attributes its origins to John Garbett, a producer who briefly worked on the film.

Before his death in December of 1997, comedian Chris Farley was cast in the titular ogre role in DreamWorks Animation's "Shrek".
The film was still in the early stages back then, years away from its release in 2001, but Farley had recorded the majority of his dialogue for the project before he died.

Gone is the angry Scottish accent Meyers opted to employ, replaced by something more akin to the late Farley's usual voice.

MGM has acquired North American distribution rights to "Myriam, Mother of the Christ", the biblical story of Mary. The screenplay is written by Benedict Fitzgerald, who penned "The Passion of the Christ".
The film, slated to bow around Easter 2008, is a dramatic rendering of the key events in Mary's life leading up to the birth of Jesus and the holy family's journey from Egypt to Nazareth following the death of King Herod. The story is told from Mary's point of view as she gradually understands the unfolding of God's plan and responds to her calling. No director or cast is attached.
"We believe that a feature of this quality and pedigree will have an inherent appeal to many movie consumers in North America," MGM chief operating officer Rick Sands said. "The film has the potential to become a perennial favorite each holiday season."
MGM will work with its home entertainment partner, 20th Century Fox, on the film's DVD release.
Fitzgerald and Richard Garzilli are producing "Myriam" alongside John Garbett and Erik Lomis.
