As a big "Family Guy" fan, I've always been curious as to what creator Seth MacFarlane would do with a feature film, or live actors at least. He's able to push the boundaries of comedy with animation, could he do the same with real people? Whether he is able to or not remains to be seen, but either way his new project "Ted" sounds totally interesting.
MacFarlane serves as co-writer and director on the film, which will be rater-R and feature a grown man, and a teddy bear that has come to life. What makes things even better is that Mark Wahlberg is set to play the grown man and the project has also just added another member.
According to Variety Giovanni Ribisi is attached to co-star in MacFarlane's comedy "Ted." Ribisi will play Donny, a man obsessed with Ted. Mila Kunis is also in final negotiations to star.
MacFarlane directs, and co-wrote the film with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. The bear itself will be stop motion and voiced by McFarlane.
One great thing this film has going for it is that it will be rated-R and features a talking animal. MacFarlane has pushed the envelope on network TV for years and it will be amazing to see what he can do when he is almost completely unfettered from censors. On top of that, anyone who watches "Family Guy" knows that he has a knack for talking animals, as evidenced by Brian Griffin the dog.
The film should be hilarious because of MacFarlane and also because the teddy bear Ted will be a drinking, smoking loudmouth.
The closer it is to Brian Griffin the better.
