Ted 2 Begins Filming!

Fresh off the mixed success of his comedy-western A Million Ways to Die in the West, Seth MacFarlane is back in the saddle to direct his next film: the much-anticipated sequel to 2012’s Ted.

MacFarlane announced the commencement with a single tweet on Thursday: “Ted 2 Begins.” Additionally, Boston Casting had an open call the day before, looking for people with heavy Boston accents and “tough guy types, like the guys you find in Revere, Eastie, Southie, etc.” The kind of dude you’d accidentally bump into in a bar that would greet you with, “Are you fahkin’ retahded?!”

As we previously reported, the follow-up has added Amanda Seyfried as the new love interest of Mark Wahlberg (who, after separating from Mila Kunis’ character, apparently continues his cradle-robbing ways.)

The film is slated for release on June 26th of next year, and will be sure to delight those of us that truly treasure the mind of the man behind it all. The rest of the populace will of course be pissed off and offended, just like they are with everything else Seth has ever made, done, said, or thought.
