Will a Family Guy Movie Be Live-Action?

Might we see the animated family from Quahog on the silver screen in the near future? Seth McFarlane says yes... and it might be live-action as well. Filmdrunk has a portion of Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane's apperance on Adam Carolla's podcast, and he revealed some interesting tidbits about a Family Guy movie.

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 Simpsons 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.


We'll be sure to update you with any developments from this potential Family Guy movie.

    I think it's the animation that plays a huge factor in peoples' fandom in this show. Please don't make it live-action.

    Correction... I think that the perfect person to play peter would be Wayne Knight who played newman on seinfeld. I know he is not a big star but that is where you could pull in household actors in the supportive rolls, and like the show you could have alot of actors that would star as themselves.

    This is quite dumb and pointless. I dont see how this would workout at all. The only person I can see playing Peter is John Goodman, but that wouldn't even be funny.

    I really hope it isn't filmed with live action. I don't think Family Guy would be a 10th as funny with the limitations that a live human cast would have (let alone the talking CG dog & baby they'd have to do).
