Fans of Family Guy will no doubt be looking forward to Seth MacFarlane‘s feature directorial debut , Ted. Starring Mark Wahlberg, it tells the story of a grown man whose wish that his childhood teddy bear would come to life, comes true. MacFarlane who also wrote the film plays Ted using motion-capture.
Don’t expect this bear to be cute and cuddly, he turns out to be a cursing pothead who wreaks havoc on Wahlberg’s life.
Wahlberg talked about working with the Family Guy creator:
He’s such a sweet guy, such a generous guy, I just had a blast. It was one of those occasions like an Adam McKay or a Tim Burton where you just can’t wait to get to get to the set and be around the guy and watch him do his thing, it was one of those special occasions.
There bound to be plenty of outrageous dialogue in the flick, and family man Wahlberg wanted fans to know it’s all 100% MacFarlane:
I want a disclaimer at the beginning of the movie saying that all these things are written by Seth MacFarlane not me (laughs), and I didn’t improvise any of it and he’s gotta take full responsibility for all the people he’s offended. But it’s off the charts.
This is sure to be a cool flick, and it will be interesting to see how the animator and genius voice artist messes with the live action – mo-cap world.
Fans of Seth MacFarlane’s unique humor are in for a treat when Ted opens July 13, 2012.
