First Look: Ted Trailer Is Stuffed With Swear Bears

See the red band trailer for Seth MacFarlane's directorial debut.

Not to be confused with the digital conference forum recently utalised by Guy Pearce...i mean Weyland. Ted is the directoral debut by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. The film chronicles the relationship of John (Mark Whalberg) and his new girlfriend, Lori (Mila Kunis). But as with anything MacFarlane, this ain't no normal relationship. John has a "special friend" - a living, breathing, super sweary teddy bear. Ted has been something of a low key affiar, so the trailer has limped out with little fanfare. The foul mouthed red-band trailer shows the MacFarlane still hasnt quite got all the cheeky monkey, kenneth williams face pulling language out of his system. So expect oodles of turdy worded humour, and maybe even a few self referencial family guy jokes. There is no doubt that MacFarlane is a very funny guy, and Ted could prove a step forward for the comedian. However, so far, the film's trailer and overly familiar Peter Griffin voice don't seem very promising. I guess we will have to wait until 3rd August. Take a gander and share your thoughts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGW5gpMU9yo

Part critic-part film maker, I have been living and breathing film ever since seeing 'Superman' at the tender age of five. Never one to mince my words, I believe in the honest and emotional reaction to film, rather than being arty or self important just for cred.
