Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried Film Ted 2 Scenes in Framingham

Actor Mark Wahlberg was spotted in Framingham Thursday morning, Aug. 14, filming scenes for Ted 2, the sequel to his blockbuster film.

A Framingham neighborhood, near Walsh Middle School, was notified there may be parking restrictions Thursday morning while filming took place on the Mass Turnpike and at the westbound rest stop in Framingham.

The sequel, starring Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried and Seth MacFarlane, as the voice of Ted, the bear, is expected to be in theaters in 2015.

McFarlane is also the producer of Ted 2, which stars Wahlberg as John Bennett, whose teddy bear Ted has come to life.

In Ted 2, Bennett’s friendship is “tested” when his girlfriend of four years wants more from their relationship, according to IMDB.

Ted was the highest-grossing R-rated film in 2012.

While filming took place there were delays on the Mass Pike between exits 12 and 13.

Wahlberg and Seyfied and the stuffed bear - Ted - were in a car on a trailer for filming on the Mass Pike.
