Reflecting on my years as a movie enthusiast and connoisseur of the bizarre, I must admit that I was initially skeptical when I heard about Mark Wahlberg teaming up with a foul-mouthed teddy bear for a comedy adventure. The concept seemed preposterous, akin to a sequel where the Fonz rides a motorcycle made of Jell-O. But just as I learned with Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘Boogie Nights’, sometimes you have to take a chance on the unconventional to witness greatness.
Mark Wahlberg and a potty-mouthed teddy bear have formed a popular comedy duo in films. However, their partnership might not have come to be as Wahlberg initially hesitated to star in a movie with such an unconventional plot as Ted. When he learned about the project’s concept, he felt it wouldn’t add up, so when offered the role, he didn’t find it appealing. He shared this during an interview with Collider.
At first glance, it seems unbelievable and hard to explain positively. It strikes me as utterly preposterous. In fact, my initial reaction was a firm “No way!” However, the situation was such that I found myself under constant persuasion from all sides.
As a gamer, I initially balked at the thought of being part of the film, Ted. However, upon delving deeper into its script, I found it bore striking resemblances to Boogie Nights – a movie with a reputation for either flopping or becoming an extraordinary success. It wasn’t until a heart-to-heart with director Seth McFarlane and glancing at the quirky teddy bear that would share screen time as Ted’s co-star, that I made up my mind and jumped on board this wild comedy ride.
After discussing another project with a different agent, they mentioned that I was working on “Ted”. I replied, “What’s that all about?” So, I read the initial 35 pages of the script and set it aside. This reminded me of my experience with Boogie Nights, where I thought, “This could be incredible, or it could be disastrous.” Then, I sat down with Seth [MacFarlane] to understand his vision for the project. Upon viewing the test and seeing how the bear appeared, I felt, “You know, this might work out. Let’s give it a try.
Turns out making “Ted” was a smart move, as it turned out to be a hit. People found the humor in it, and it drew massive crowds to the cinemas. As a result, the movie raked in an impressive $589 million at the box office. Considering the production cost was just $50 million, it covered its own costs, and on top of that, “Ted” made a pretty penny (according to Box Office Mojo).
