We want to get excited about the prospect of a
Family Guy movie. We really do. But we've been a bit burned lately by the promise of our favourite TV comedies being turned into feature films. Wonder why that would be, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT?
Anyway, we discovered this
Adam Carolla podcast the other day, via
FilmDrunk.
Family Guy creator
Seth McFarlane was a guest on the podcast, and they discussed the possibility of a feature film. Here's the transcript:
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.

CAROLLA: Are you hinting at some live action?
MCFARLANE: Possibly, possibly. Here and there. It will not be a 90-minute Family Guy episode.
