Neil Patrick Harris Finds A ‘Million Ways to Die in the West’
13 May 2013 1:08 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The already star packed cast of A Million Ways To Die In The West are now being joined by everyone’s favourite How I Met Your Mother actor Neil Patrick Harris. But worry not, A Million Ways To Die In The West is not a serious flick but rather a western film mocking comedy by Family Guy and Ted writer Seth MacFarlane.
Harris’ involvement was confirmed in a press release issued by Universal Pictures but no details about his character have been given. Harris will join Amanda Seyfried, Sarah Silverman, Charlize Theron and Liam Neeson in the comedy about a farmer (MacFarlane) whose girlfriend (Seyfried) leaves after he cowardly pulls out of a gunfight. Luckily a wife of an outlaw (Theron) manages to help him man up and become courageous, that is until her dangerous outlaw of a husband (Neeson) finds them both. What do you think of the film »

Seth MacFarlane reunites with Universal to make 'A Million Ways to Die in the West'
11 May 2013 6:26 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
After the runaway success of "Ted" last summer, Universal has decided it wants to stay in the Seth MacFarlane business.
The studio has come aboard to co-finance and distribute the "Family Guy" creator's upcoming western, "A Million Ways to Die in the West." The film has been set for a May 30, 2014 release date, Universal announced on Friday (May 10).
MacFarlane is set to co-write, direct, produce and star in the film, playing a sheep farmer named Albert. Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, Sarah Silverman and Giovanni Ribisi are all attached to co-star.
Not only is the film a reunion between MacFarlane and Universal, but it's also reconnecting much of the "Ted" team as that film's producers Scott Stuber and Jason Clark and co-writers Wellesley Wild and Alec Sulkin are all performing the same duties on the new film. Media Rights Capital, which is co-financing, also co-financed "Ted."

Neil Patrick Harris Joins Seth MacFarlane’s A Million Ways to Die in the West
10 May 2013 12:15 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
It was announced today that Seth MacFarlane's comedy western, A Million Ways to Die in the West, will be released on May 30, 2014. In that announcement was the news that Neil Patrick Harris will be joining a cast that already included MacFarlane, Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, Sarah Silverman, and Giovanni Ribisi. Harris, MacFarlane, Seyfried, Silverman: This movie is going to have all the musical numbers. Sure, the reported plot is something about a coward whose wife leaves him because he chickened out of a gunfight, but maybe that's all a front for a really fun movie adaptation of Oklahoma. Oklahoma's the one with a talking teddy bear, right? »

Can Seth MacFarlane Break $500 Million Again? 'A Million Ways To Die In The West' Sets 2014 Date
10 May 2013 10:55 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Was it beginner's luck, or is Seth MacFarlane the new R-rated comedy king? With his feature directorial debut "Ted" taking over $540 million worldwide last year, it certainly went way above and beyond what anyone was expecting of a movie with a talking, foul-mouthed teddy bear and Mark Wahlberg. And Universal is hoping MacFarlane will do it again with "A Million Ways To Die In The West." The film carries another high-concept premise, except there will be a couple of small changes: MacFarlane himself will take the lead role, and it will boast even more stars than his last effort. Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, Sarah Silverman, Giovanni Ribisi and Neil Patrick Harris will star in the movie alongside MacFarlane in the always tricky genre of the western comedy. Here's the official synopsis: After a cowardly sheep farmer backs out of a gunfight, his fickle girlfriend leaves him for another man. »
