Variety [paid registration required], via Coming Soon, reports that screenwriter David H. Steinberg (Slackers, American Pie 2) has been appointed to pen the Shrek 2 spin-off Puss in Boots, with Antonio Banderas returning to voice the leading feline. Though it is still not yet determined whether the film will head directly to DVD or enter theaters in 2008, Steinberg’s six-figure deals suggests the latter.
