DreamWorks is trying something different to advertise its upcoming Shrek spinoff, Puss in Boots, and have started focusing on viral commercial parodies instead of the traditional trailers and TV spots.
A trailer released in June explained the plot of the movie, which is essentially a prequel that chronicles the adventures of Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) prior to meeting Shrek in 2004's Shrek 2, and sees the swashbuckling cat take down Jack and Jill (Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris) before they destroy the world. With plot already explained in the previous trailer, DreamWorks can feel free to have fun with the character, interjecting him into commercial parodies, the first of which satirizes the Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World" campaign.

While doing press for Shrek Forever After, Antonio Banderas revealed that the upcoming Shrek spin-off, Puss in Boots, would go "in a different direction" from the Shrek franchise and "takes more from Sergio Leone and Western movies." The Leone influence can certainly be seen in movie's latest poster and theatrical trailer.
Essentially a prequel, Puss in Boots shows the adventures of the swashbuckling cat before he meets up with everyone's favorite ogre in 2004's Shrek 2. When Jack and Jill (Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris) discover a secret power that could destroy the world, only Puss in Boots, along with Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis) and Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek), can save the day.
