Mark Wahlberg to Get a New CGI Best Friend in Seth McFarlane

Mark Wahlberg knows his way around buddy comedies thanks to Entourage, but his next onscreen best friend is a little more unusual than someone like Turtle or Drama.

Mark Wahlberg knows his way around buddy comedies thanks to Entourage, but his next onscreen best friend is a little more unusual than someone like Turtle or Drama. Wahlberg is in talks to star in Ted, a comedy directed by Family Guy's Seth McFarlane, where he'll play opposite (wait for it) a teddy bear. Ted will be a live-action/CGI mix as it follows a man (Wahlberg) who wished for his childhood best friend, a teddy bear, to be real when he was a kid. The wish came true, and as a grown-up, he now has to deal with the similarly grown teddy bear Ted (voiced by McFarlane), who's now an irresponsible slacker interfering in Wahlberg's life. Coupled with the news that Wahlberg may also star in a Crow remake, I'm starting to wonder who's making these decisions for him.

Would You Go to See a "Family Guy" Movie?

While "nothing is official," Seth McFarlane indicated recently that a "Family Guy" movie is a definite possibility for the future.


While "nothing is official," Seth McFarlane indicated recently that a "Family Guy" movie is a definite possibility for the future. McFarlane has no specific plot ideas yet, but told Hollywood Reporter, "We have been trying to figure out how to do that and the series at the same time without the series suffering."

This kind of smacks of "Well, 'The Simpsons' are doing it, so why can't we?" but I'd probably go see a "Family Guy" movie anyway. What about you?
