Family Guy movie coming

Quote:

At a special event this week to celebrate the 100th episode of American Dad, Seth MacFarlane said he’s moving ahead with plans for a Family Guy movie.

“We want to do it,” MacFarlane told Wired.com. It wasn’t a grand, official announcement, but it was clear it’s more than a passing whim.

“Fox wants it. We know what we want to do with it. It’s just a question of finding the time,” he said. “That’s why The Simpsons took so many years to do theirs. It wasn’t because they didn’t know what they wanted to do with it. They just couldn’t fit it into the schedule.

“There’s so much to do for a weekly animated series — twice as much as you have to do for a live-action show. So, we’re finding time where we can. We’re in the early stages right now.”

So nothing official. Typical Raph's Girl.

Remember the time she thought Wolverine was decent?[/Peter Griffin]

I can remember a time when this news would excite me, but now I'm kinda, "Meh..." about it.

Totally cool! Family Guy has rocked the last few weeks, I think that the "420" episode is my new favorite.

I'm really excited about this news. I really like Family Guy and have since it first came out. In fact, I like Family Guy much better than the latest Simpsons episodes. When The Simpsons movie came out, I was happy because it had the sort of humor I was missing from the show. I thought that once they made the movie, the show would get better, but it sadly didn't. Family Guy should make a movie, though wasn't Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story supposed to be a movie? This would be their second movie. Pllus, Family Guy has made some pretty good episodes. There may have been a few I didn't really like, but those are few and far between.

they should wait and do it when they decide to wrap the series up. it would be a good way to end things

Ryona 05-08-2009 09:41 PM

This doesn't surprise me. 2009 has been pumping out alot of stupid movies. Why not another?

Family Guy... ah, goddamn Family Guy, it was only a matter of time. :|

Its haphazard reference jokes and middleschool shock humor can barely sustain a thirty-minute episode. Why does anyone predict it working well as a full length feature?

GK Punk 05-09-2009 01:16 AM

They'd have to pace the story telling differently, but I don't see why it couldn't work if they did.

...which means I hope we don't see it for eons. I love Family Guy. Either way, a movie would be awesome. They would be able to do all the things they can't do on TV. The thought actually scares me.

BubblyShell22 05-09-2009 10:37 AM

Yeah, but they have been able to get away with stuff. One of the things I noticed was in Patriot Games when Lois gave the camera the finger. They didn't even bleep it out when it aired.

ThirdMarioBro 05-09-2009 12:22 PM

...cuz she has four fingers. Cheap, four-fingered cartoons get away with it because there is no middle finger.

BubblyShell22 05-10-2009 08:47 AM

Wow! I never noticed that she only has four fingers. Anyway, I think having a movie is cool because they could probably up the humor. I love getting the DVDs now because they show stuff they usually have to cut for certain reasons.

Reading the title I thought about a live action movie. That would be a interesting mindF*ck

BubblyShell22 05-16-2009 01:02 PM

Well, I do remember in one of the episodes they showed Peter in a live action form. That would be interesting, but I doubt they'd do that.
