Long rumored A-Team movie to be ready in 2010

If you're like most normal people, you've probably asked yourself what would have become of the '80s TV show the A-Team without Mr.T playing B.A. Baracus. Ridley Scott (American Gangster) and Joe Carnahan (Smokin' Aces) want to test the fates by bringing together an A-Team movie in the summer of 2010.
With the success of the first Charlie's Angels movie in 2000, a team of A-list actors were dreamed up, if not approached, to comprise the A-team: B.A. Baracus would be played by Ving Rhames, H.M. "Madman" Murdock by Jim Carrey, Face by Christian Bale and Hannibal Smith by Mel Gibson or Tommy Lee Jones. Alas, it was a wash, and no confirmed cast members have been announced just yet.

Some believe the latest push for an A-Team movie was sparked by the 2006 UK show Bring Back The A-Team, which attempted to reunite the surviving members of the show in 10 days. The opening narration to the show states, "You can stuff the Beatles; the only Fab Four who rocked my world as a kid were the A-Team."

The premise of the A-Team can best be summed up in about 23 seconds if followed by a bitchin' montage of machine-gun fire, explosions and cars wrecks. It's somewhat indicative of the show's ingredients. It had just the right balance of over-the-top action and camp, but heavy on the camp. Oh, and miraculously, nobody ever seemed to die.

Definitely loved that show. :) It's hard to imagine new actors in the old roles, but I'm curious enough to give it a chance. I could see Jim Carrey as Murdock, for sure.

I figured Carrey for Murdock, but I liked Brad Pitt as Face. Figured either Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis or possibly George Clooney as Hannibal but could not come up with anyone to play BA

However, Ving Rhames wouldn't be a bad choice and he would have fun doing it.

Not sure about Hannibal or BA.

Despite all the automatic weapons fire

That's what made it so cool.

The A Team was The Mr. T Show. There's no other way to describe it--he WAS that show.

I don't normally get riled up for or against these old TV show movie remakes but something deep inside me is screaming NO to this. And I was a fan of the show as a kid...but there is something terribly evil about this idea I can't exactly explain what :shrug:

Mmmmmmmmkay. :eyes:
