One of the new characters in Shrek 2, the cute kitty with claws named Puss In Boots, is getting his own movie. DreamWorks has hired writers Ed Decter to John Strauss to pen the Puss solo tale.

Antonio Banderas is expected to return as the voice of the furball-hacking hero but no deal has been made. DreamWorks is considering the movie as a DVD premiere similar to video-direct sequels made lucrative by Disney.

Decter and Strauss previously wrote The Lizzie McGuire Movie for Disney. The storyline for the Shrek spin-off has not been established.
