Crave has an awesome interview with Seth MacFarlane; here’s a few excerpts:
On Empire Strikes Back
We just had our animatic screening. We are shipping it off to be animated and I don’t know when it’s supposed to air but it’s coming up soon. There was some talk at some point that it would be released on DVD first and then be aired. I don’t know if that’s happening. It may air first but it’s basically done. It just has to be animated but all the writing is done, the animatic is finished.
On a Family Guy movie
Yes, actually we’ve been talking about it seriously. We have very unconventional ways to approach it I can’t reveal yet, but we have one extremely unexpected approach to the movie. There is no way you could do this on TV, let’s put it that way.
The interview is four pages long (!!!!) but well worth a read!
