With Universal feature animation founder Michael Wildshill previously talking up another COMPUTEROPOLIS sequel at Cannes, Universal has announced that SHREK scribe Joe Stillman will write the screenplay for COMPUTEROPOLIS 3. In addition, Thomas Lennon, the writer for the COMPUTEROPOLIS films, will be involved as a script consultant.

The studio confirms that the third film will deal with global warming on the computer world. Internet rumors state that the film will follow Peri and the gang facing against a mysterious figure who tries to melt the internal infrastructure of the Internet.

Like the other COMPUTEROPOLIS films, other writers will be brought onto the project to polish it after Stillman. The studio said they might look to writers who worked on the previous films in the franchise.

No director(s) have been announced (COMPUTEROPOLIS and COMPUTEROPOLIS 2 director Audel LaRoque is busy working on an original project) and it is most probable that stars Jesse McCartney and David Spade will return as the key voices. The actors received $5 million for COMPUTEROPOLIS 2 and should be able to negotiate bigger paychecks after the stellar performance of the sequel. Universal hopes to have COMPUTEROPOLIS 3 in theaters for the summer in 2010.
