Family Guy Creator Seth MacFarlane Chooses ‘Les Miserables’ Star Amanda Seyfried Over Meg Griffin’s Voice Mila Kunis For ‘Ted 2’ Movie
The foul-mouthed, drunkard teddy bear voiced by "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane is coming back to the big screen together with "Transformers 4" star Mark Wahlberg on June 26, 2015.
However, Mila Kunis who lends her voice to Meg Griffin is no longer returning to reprise her role as the female lead, Amanda Seyfried is reportedly tapped to play the female lead opposite Mark Wahlberg, according to Deadline.
In addition, Deadline reports that there's no issue behind the decision for changing the lineup, instead it's "a creative decision that MacFarlane decided to take with the plotting of the sequel."
The famous "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane also returns as the writer, producer, director and the voice of Ted in Universal and Media Rights Capital's sequel to the highest grossing R-rated comedy film, which grossed over $500 million worldwide.
MacFarlane will reunite with fellow TED writers Alec Sulkin & Wellesley Wild, which will be co-produced by Bluegrass Film's Scott Stuber, John Jacobs and Jason Clark.
Universal Pictures CEO Steve Burke admitted back in September 2012: "We'd like to see a Ted 2 as soon as we can."
Now, it's most probably that Ted 2 movie will start production early this year as "Transformers 4" star Mark Wahlberg previously told Collider.com that "We're shooting Transformers in May (2013), and then I believe we're gonna do Ted 2 right after. They're working on it now and we've kind of gone through the negotiation process."
Wahlberg was also vocal in praising "Family Guy" creator MacFarlane's writing skills as he continued saying: "The great thing about it is Seth's ideas for the second one are sick. He comes from the world of episodic television so he knows how to tell the stories, man, in a way that most people don't. Like for instance The Italian Job, we've been trying to do the sequel for 10 years. He's a different kind of guy."
Meanwhile, "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane continues his multi tasking job in his movie projects as he writes, produces, directs and stars in a Western comedy film entitled "A Million Ways To Die in the West," to be released on May 30 this year.
The movie will also be starring Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, Liam Neeson, Giovanni Ribisi, Sarah Silverman and Neil Patrick Harris.
