According to foreign media reports, "Teddy Bear" series director Seth McFarland is planning to adapt an animated blockbuster movie based on his hit cartoon "House of Spoofs". And his much-loved teddy bear series, co-starring with Mark Wahlberg, will also be on the agenda, and "Teddy Bear 3" is expected to return.
Teddy Bear is Seth McFarland's screen directorial debut, and he was previously known for his animations such as Spoof House and American Dad. In "Teddy Bear," McFarland portrays a bottomless teddy bear, which tells a series of thunderous stories that take place between Teddy the Teddy bear and his good friend John.
Regarding the shooting of "Teddy Bear 3", Seth said: "I am absolutely willing to accept, I was very happy when I made those films. Teddy's movie was fantastic, Wahlberg's performance was blown up and I had a great time. But sequels over the past few years have been hard to make. ”
"Teddy Bear" cost $50 million to produce, and after its release, the global box office reached 550 million, surpassing the global record of "The Hangover" of $467 million, making it the world's highest-grossing original R-rated comedy ever. "Teddy Bear 2" may not have been a success in the first one, but the successful portrayal of the teddy bear broke the audience's previous perception of toy comedies and was eye-opening.
