Family Guy is getting 80s-style live action in a terrifying AI-powered video. One of the longest-running series on television, Seth MacFarlane's animated adult sitcom premiered on Fox in 1999 with 400 episodes despite being canceled once after only three seasons.
The series follows the Griffin family living in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island. In Family Guy, much of the humor comes from skits and short asides from the plot. Family Guy has a tendency to reference moments from popular culture and the show itself, although some have drawn attention to more offensive jokes. The cast includes MacFarlane, who voices several characters, Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, Seth Green, Arif Zahir and Patrick Warburton.
Fans often wondered what the Family Guy family would look like in live action, and who would play each character.
In a recent video posted to YouTube by SonUzumakilchigo, viewers see Family Guy becoming an '80s sitcom thanks to artificial intelligence, but the image leaves some with a chilling impression. The video features all of the Griffins, their home on Spooner Street, and neighbors Joe, Quagmire and Cleveland.
Will there ever be a Family Guy adaptation?
While it may seem like Family Guy has done it all, the show has yet to feature live-action versions of the characters, even to show them on camera. The idea is intriguing, and it's a transition that not many other animated shows have made. The Rick and Morty short, which starred Christopher Lloyd and Jaeden Martell, earned positive reviews, but the program did not include a single feature-length episode of its kind. When it comes to Family Guy, since the setting and most of the characters are realistic, a live-action adaptation seems more possible.
There have been specials in the past where viewers could see the actors reading lines, but that was about it. A Family Guy movie has been discussed for a long time, and MacFarlane previously confirmed that plans for it are still afoot. A feature-length film could allow the creator to incorporate live-action scenes into the film, but creating real-life versions of some characters presents its own challenges. In particular, Stewie's head shape and vocabulary make him difficult to imagine in live action. As for Brian, talking dogs have been characters in fiction before, and MacFarlane's Ted films prove that animation can be used alongside actors.
A live-action Family Guy would be an interesting project, and it would be interesting to see if the voice actors would appear as their characters, given that MacFarlane plays several members of the Griffin family. The AI images, while strange to look at, give viewers an idea of what they might look like and how an entire movie or TV series might be realized in live-action.
Whether Peter and the others will be introduced this way remains to be seen, but viewers can hope that Family Guy will be made into a live-action movie in the future.
