“Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane spoke during the Television Critics Association’s semi-annual press tour, revealing that the follow up to the “Star Wars” parody “Blue Harvest” is nearly finished. The new movie will parody “Empire Strikes Back” and it won’t air until “Family Guy” spin-off “Cleveland,” which starts mid-season.
As for what other property he’d like to parody, MacFarlane revealed that he is currently looking at “Star Trek.” “Not to marginalize myself, but if Paramount would let us do ‘Wrath of Khan,’ we would do that. ['Star Wars' worked] because our audience generally knows that movie word-for-word.”
After the panel, MacFarlane reiterated he’s serious about wanting to do “Khan,” but he thinks it will be an uphill battle convincing owner Paramount. “Who knows, after ‘Empire’ comes out, if it does well, they might be willing.”
