Seth MacFarlane: “We are the Millers messed up all our plans”
In an interview with The New York Times , director Seth MacFarlane spoke about the original plot of the comedy " Extra 2 ". It turns out that initially the filmmaker had a completely different idea in his head, and he was halfway to its implementation. However, his plans were hampered by the release of the comedy "We Are the Millers", the script of which turned out to be similar to that which was written by Seth in the company with Alec Salkin and Wellesley Wilde.“The original plot of the film was built around the journey of Ted and John , who were supposed to transport a consignment of soft drugs across the country. We were guided by the movie Smokey and the Bandit when we wrote the script for the sequel to Third Superfluous. However, right in the middle of our workflow, “ We Are the Millers ” was released with exactly the same plot. We had to forget about all the existing developments ", - lamented MacFarlane .  Nevertheless, Seth did not lose his head and found a new, unexpected source of inspiration:“During the filming of A Million Ways to Lose Your Head, I read a series of novels by John Jakes about the American Civil War. One detailed the lawsuit “ Dred Scott v. Sandford ” in which a black man fought for his freedom and civil rights. Carried over to the present day, this story could have become a terrific basis for the sequel " Superfluous Third ". I decided to send teddy bear Ted to court so that he defends himself as a person with the same rights as all of us. It was brilliant! Only a hero like Ted can tell a story like this in a language that the audience can understand. ”. Let's remind that the comedy " The third extra 2 " started in the domestic box office just yesterday. The Topic of Article: Seth MacFarlane: “We are the Millers messed up all our plans”. |
