Seth MacFarlane‘s Ted was basically a raunchy live-action version of Family Guy, and his sophomore directorial effort, A Million Ways to Die In The West, is more or less the same thing but set in the Wild West — not that there’s anything wrong with that since Ted proved to be a bonafide hit at the box office.

The first set of posters was revealed this week, and now Universal has released the first trailer from the film. Hit the jump to see it.

Recently we saw the first official image from Seth MacFarlane‘s upcoming live-action comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West, and it’s safe to assume that a trailer for the May 30th release should be arriving very soon. But for now, a set of seven new character posters have been released to remind you how awesome the cast is.

Starring in the movie is MacFarlane (his first time physically appearing in the lead role), Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, Sarah Silverman, Giovanni Ribisi, and Neil Patrick Harris.

You can check out the character posters for these actors below, as well as a bonus title poster.

Back in December of 2012, we found out that Family Guy and American Dad! creator Seth MacFarlane was set to follow up his feature film directorial debut, Ted, with a western-comedy titled A Million Ways to Die in the West.

Now comes the first image from the movie, which MacFarlane co-wrote with Family Guy and Ted writers Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild.

You can check out the first image and a synopsis for the movie below.

A pair of high-profile actors are looking to join the cast of Seth MacFarlane‘s upcoming western comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West, a sequel to his hit comedy Ted.

Taken and The Grey star Liam Neeson has entered into negotiations for a role in the movie, and Avatar and Saving Private Ryan star Giovanni Ribisi is already locked in to play one of the characters.

Warner Brothers has released the first trailer for Ruben Flischer‘s period piece crime drama Gangster Squad. The film touts an ecliptic cast that consists of Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Emma Stone, Anthony Mackie, Nick Nolte, Bryan Cranston, Michael Pena, Giovanni Ribisi, and more. The Gangster Squad is set in the 1940s and will focus on a special task force specifically designed to stop L.A.’s most notorious gangsters.

The movie looks visually appealing. Everything from the fashion to the set pieces looks absolutely incredible. And when all of that is backed by the aforementioned names, you have all the ingredients for an incredible movie. I especially love the look and feel of the of the artwork that appears up on Apple. It definitely pays homage to the art and style of the 1940s. You can check out the trailer below.
