areaseven Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Coming to theaters on July 11, 2010 is 20th Century Fox's big-screen adaptation of The A-Team. Directed by Joe Carnahan (Smokin' Aces) and produced by brothers Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Alien) and Tony Scott (Top Gun, True Romance), the new film will star the following: Liam Neeson (as if nobody knows him already...) as Col. John "Hannibal" Smith Bradley Cooper (Phil in The Hangover) as Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (ex-UFC Light Heavyweight Champion) as Sgt. B.A. Baracus Sharlto Copley (Wikus van de Merwe in District 9) as Capt. H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock Jessica Biel (like no one here knows her...) as Carissa Sosa Patrick Wilson (Nite Owl II in Watchmen) as a Agent Lynch Brian Bloom as Brock Pike Dirk Benedict (the original Face) Dwight Schultz (the original Murdock) Stephen J. Cannell, who created the series, will also be producing the film. The storyline will supposedly have the A-Team as either Gulf War or Iraq War veterans instead of the Vietnam War in the original.You know what I think? No Mr. T = Not a good A-Team movie. I pity the fool that makes this movie! The A-Team @ IMDB Edited July 22, 2014 by areaseven Quote
Gubaba Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 You know what I think? Any A-Team movie = Not a good A-Team movie. I pity the fool that makes this movie! FIXED! Quote
CoryHolmes Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I s'pose this would be a bad time to point out that I didn't enjoy the A-Team TV series at all, wouldn't it? Quote
Agent ONE Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 LOL, as much as I like Mr. T. The Movie can be good without him. Rampage is a funny guy, and tough. Quote
Gubaba Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I s'pose this would be a bad time to point out that I didn't enjoy the A-Team TV series at all, wouldn't it? I think it's the PERFECT place to point it out. Even as a kid, I thought it was a dumb show. Quote
Einherjar Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Mr. T needs at least a cameo in it, if not a prominent role. Quote
taksraven Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Love these ads. Probably more fun than watching any A-Team film.... I also love his offhand excuse of why he is in a helicopter... Taksraven Quote
Scream Man Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Mr T should be in a series where he travels America solving crimes with a team of Teenaged Gymnasts and a dog with a mohawk. Otherwise, whats the point? Quote
Einherjar Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Mr T should be in a series where he travels America solving crimes with a team of Teenaged Gymnasts and a dog with a mohawk. He did a variation of that for a good cause. Unfortunately, no Gymnasts or dog. I Pity the Fool Quote
Gubaba Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 He did a variation of that for a good cause. Unfortunately, no Gymnasts or dog. I Pity the Fool Oh, he did it with the gymnasts and the dog, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mDQ-Yg6AME Quote
Einherjar Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) I love the later years. http://www.spike.com/video/new-adventures-of-mr/2796599 You heard the man, he needs work. Put him in your remake! Edited October 22, 2009 by Einherjar Quote
VFTF1 Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Even as a kid, I thought it was a dumb show. Really? I LOVED the A-Team and still do for one simple reason: because the whole story is about one thing and one thing only - that the government lies and kills while normal people are its' victims - and the A-Team decide to stop being victims and stand up for themselves and for normal folks. You just need to get passed the cornyness of nobody ever getting hit by bullets and get to the essence. Also - I loved it for having the heroes rely on ingenuity rather than brute force. But I do agree that Mr. T made that show - as did the gentleman who played Hanibal - and I will be hard pressed to accept an updated version... You know - this falls into the category of stuff that's best left alone... It's like trying to remake a western... you essentially can't make it any "flashier" than it was - sand, horses, guys with revolvers... I mean...what's there to add? Nothing really. Same with film noir detective stories: all you need is a blind dark ally and guys in suits packing heat... Pete Quote
Einherjar Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 The van was cool too. Hope they don't screw around with it like what people did with the Knight Rider remake. Quote
the white drew carey Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 The van was cool too. Hope they don't screw around with it like what people did with the Knight Rider remake. I agree. If the van shows up in its original form and lasts the entire film (ie- doesn't get blown up and rebuilt into a brand-new hybrid SUV), then I will be happy. Quote
Ghost Train Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Btw, I loved the Family Guy rendition of the A-team (when Brian goes back to college), it was pure brilliance! I hope the van is vintage 80's... not some modern brand. Unfortunately, the vehicle has (d)evolved from useful utility vehicle to soccer practice transportation in the time since the A-team last aired. Quote
HappyPenguins Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I really need to stop making jokes about which movies hollywood will make next.. for some reason they keep coming true! Quote
Gubaba Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I really need to stop making jokes about which movies hollywood will make next.. for some reason they keep coming true! Me, I keep waiting for them to revive Manimal, and it just never ends up happening... Quote
sharky Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Question: How many people have seen vans painted up like the A-team van driving around their town? I've seen 2 different ones in my lifetime. Both looked cheesy as hell, but you gotta respect their dedication. I only wish I was able to take a picture at the time. Quote
Gubaba Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Who the hell drives a van!? Creeps and child molesters. Duh. Quote
Scream Man Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 The A-Team were child molesters? Im never gonna be able to hear "I pity the fool" or "I love it when a plan comes together" again! Quote
buffalostyle Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Me, I keep waiting for them to revive Manimal, and it just never ends up happening... Hush your mouth!!! As for this A-Team thing, call me mildly interested... Quote
Agent ONE Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Creeps and child molesters. Duh. Right... Thats the point I was trying to make. Listen guys, as fun as the TV show was, the plot premise was always weak, and you guys liked it for the most part because you were all kids. Watch a few episodes now... You will see its still fun, but nothing to worry about any producer "ruining." Quote
Ghost Train Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 As a point of fact, somehow Airwolf defeating fighter jets, breaking the sound barrier, and flying to space just doesn't do it for me anymore. Quote
taksraven Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Creeps and child molesters. Duh. Buffalo Bill! Taksraven Quote
Excillon Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 As quoted from the probable, inevitable Ernest goes to Camp remake: Ehewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Quote
Gubaba Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 As quoted from the probable, inevitable Ernest goes to Camp remake: Ehewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Ernest without Jim Varney??? Why, oh why does Hollywood insist on completely wrecking the classics??? Quote
areaseven Posted October 24, 2009 Author Posted October 24, 2009 Yeah, what next - a remake of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure without Paul Reubens? A Max Headroom reboot without Matt Frewer? Quote
EXO Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I would totally watch a Max Headroom movie, that show was way before it's time. They can just motion capture Matt Frewer now. Quote
Excillon Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I would totally watch a Max Headroom movie, that show was way before it's time. They can just motion capture Matt Frewer now. I'll second this. I loved that show. Quote
Excillon Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 God no it just looks wrong..........so wrong! Quote
sharky Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 I would totally watch a Max Headroom movie, that show was way before it's time. They can just motion capture Matt Frewer now. IIRC there was a Max Headroom movie. Now in 2009 it's still way before it's time. LOL! Quote
Dio Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Oh how I love Rampage Jackson. If anyone's familiar with the beatdown he's receiving on this season of Ultimate Fighter, though his ability to maintain crude humor in the face of adversity is nothing short of inspirational. I'll give this movie a shot just out of nostalgia. Quote
