You know that Family Guy movie that gets mentioned every couple of years? Well, we’re going to have to wait a bit longer for it.
During a panel for the FOX Network long-running animated series, producer and sometimes episode director Peter Shin addressed the continuing rumors about a possible big screen version of the show, but that it is series creator Seth MacFarlane’s burgeoning career directing, and sometimes starring in, live action films that has delayed the project.

In 2012, MacFarlane stated that the idea that they have is “definitely something you could not do on the show, which to me is the only reason to do a movie.”
