Ted is an upcoming 2012 American comedy film, directed, written and produced by Seth MacFarlane (creator of Family Guy, co-creator of American Dad! and The Cleveland Show) and stars himself, Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Giovanni Ribisi, Jessica Stroup, and Patrick Warburton. Filming began in May 2011 in Boston and Swampscott, Massachusetts.[2] The movie, which is the feature-length directorial debut for MacFarlane,[1] is produced by Media Rights Capital, and will be distributed by Universal Pictures.

Plot

John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) is a perfectly normal Boston native whose childhood wish for his teddy bear to come to life comes true. The bear, Ted (voiced by director Seth MacFarlane) remains his best friend into his adult years. Conflict emerges when Ted's irresponsible and vulgar slacker lifestyle comes in the way of John's attempt to embrace adulthood and his love-interest, Lori (Mila Kunis).

Production

MacFarlane's directorial debut is a live-action effort, except for the computer-animated Ted, who will be handled by visual effects facility Tippett Studio. MacFarlane wrote the screenplay with his Family Guy colleagues Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild.[3] The opening crawl for the Family Guy episode "It's a Trap!", released on DVD on December 21, 2010, alludes to Ted in the sentence, "But Fox suddenly had dollar signs in their eyes, and they said, 'Seth, if you don't do Jedi, we're not gonna let you leave to go direct your movie.'" MacFarlane announced the movie in the February 10, 2011, episode of Conan.

Originally set for a July 13, 2012, release in North America, the film was moved up two weeks to June 29 following the delay of G.I. Joe: Retaliation.[4] The film is due to be released in the UK on August 1, 2012 [5] and in Australia on July 5, 2012.[6]
