Does the success of Ted make a big screen adaptation of Family Guy more likely?

As we all know, Ted is a huge success and is Seth Macfarlane's first film. Could this mean that a Family Guy movie could come soon?

His name is Seth not Ted. Fox wouldn't have much to lose. Shouldn't cost to much and they could really be daring and go R rated.

It seems like a good idea, although historically I guess it's a crap shoot. The Simpsons and South Park did great and good, respectively. But then you also have Batman: MOP and Aqua Teen Hunger Force which didn't. I would like to see it... if for no other reason than to just see Lois naked.

Your a sick, sick man.

Did Fox turn down Ted? I doubt Seth would do an FG movie unless he can do it with an R rating, which Fox wouldn't approve of.

Awwww, you KNOW that's gonna be in there!!!!! Lois boobies? I'm all over that!

Seth might owe Universal another film so the foolish Fox might have to wait. The Famlily Guy doesn't seem to be getting more popular so Fox missed a huge opportunity. The rewards would have been huge while the risk would have been pretty minimal especially considering how much Family Guy has made over the years.

Family Guy seems to be well past its peak in popularity, I don't think it'll ever happen.

I never really understood all the love for Family Guy. I always thought South Park was infinitely better.*runs away and hides*

I imagine Fox would like a Family Guy movie but like The Simpsons Movie, it's trying to fit it into an already busy schedule that Seth MacFarlane has with his animated shows and also a plot that can play over 80-90 minutes, I think it should be a musical.

They're both terrible now. Family Guy was hysterical for the first 2 seasons and slowly went downhill after it came back. South Park at its peak was probably better.

I believe Fox has first rights on anything he wants to do. So he would have run Ted pass them first.

Not necessarily. Fox Television Studios does, but I don't think the contract extends to any feature films.

There also exist ways to break contracts.

lol I knew that, I guess talking about Ted made me mix up Ted and Seth.
