Will a Family Guy movie be live action?

Posted by Daniel Herrera on Apr 16, 2009 in Uncategorized | 13 comments

Interesting news today as it turns out that aside from the news that most people have of, that there will be Family Guy movie some time in our lifetime (turns out to be within 5 years) that Seth McFarlane may have plans to have the film be integrated with some live action elements. Will it be a full live action Family Guy? Or just be a mixture? Soon we will find out as McFarlane recently told Film Drunk during an interview:

MCFARLANE: I can say with definitive assuredness that it will be out. Within the next few years. We already know what it’s gonna be. We’ve been trying to lock into something that makes it so that it has to be a movie, as opposed to an extended Family Guy episode. And I like the Simpson’s Movie, but that’s something they could do with animation on TV because they’re not constrained by sets. [...] You have to find some way to make it so that it has to be a movie.

CAROLLA: Are you hinting at some live action?

MCFARLANE: Possibly, possibly. Here and there. It will not be a 90-minute Family Guy episode.

Not really, it could be good but it would make a lot of the random scenes harder to film.

How awesome would it be if Seth McFarlane played all the parts, like in the Hulu commercial.

90 minutes animation of Family Guys is fine by me, it will be 90 minute of crazy ass, unstapoble laughter.

Obviously it will all be cartoon except the flash backs, this is worse than skiing with tom cruise! Real actors live action flashbacks. I called it here first

i hope so i wasn’t a big fan of the Simpsons movie but i do prefer family guy more. the jokes are more adult and the punch lines are better.

Have you ever even seen the show? Those are terrible suggestions.

Mixing live action with animation seems like a tough task to pull off but I have faith in Seth McFarlane, He’ll do Family Guy fans proud.
