Seth MacFarlane, best known for doing almost all of the voices on (and being the creator of) Family Guy, will make his directorial debut in an upcoming film named Ted.

Here’s the rub: he’ll be directing Mark Wahlberg and a man-sized teddy bear. (And no, Ted isn’t a sequel to The Other Guys.)

Ted follows a Bostonian (Wahlberg) who wishes his teddy bear could come to life while still a young boy. The wish actually comes true, and the two stay pals as the years roll by -- but adult teddy bears, apparently, don’t make such great roommates.

MacFarlane, of course, will voice the implausible character (and we’re talking about the teddy bear).
