more blasphemy! A-Team remake in the works!

[Skywalker]

Me neither, really, I just picked him 'cause of Schultz.

^Now Bea Arthur as Hannibal, that I could get behind.

That would be hard to do since she's, you know.... dead.'

I'm not one of those "Nathan Fillion in everything!" people, but he really wouldn't be a bad choice for Face. He can do the same smarmy look, I think he could pull off the the smooth hair in a tux holding a martini routine.

I like Mel Gibson or George Clooney for Hannibal too.

Casting B.A. will be most difficult. Whoever it is, expect the production company to persuade Mr. T to "approve" of the new BA for publicity.

 

[Aragorn]

Woo hoo! Rumor has it that rapper Common (most recently seen doing a whole lot of nothing in Terminator Salvation) has a scheduling conflict and can't play B.A.

Time to get Terry Crews!

 

[Aragorn]

So the cast is supposedly...

HANNIBAL: Liam Neeson
FACE: Bradley Cooper
MURDOCK: Sharlto Carpley (District 9)
B.A.: Quinton Jackson (UFC fighter)

 

[Skywalker]

I love it when a cast comes together.

 

[Australis]

Um. Suggestion for BA:

Erik King (Doakes, 'Dexter')

I pity the fool who would try and take that from him!

 

[Captaindemotion]

I'm too lazy to post a link, but lots of stories all over the place that Jessica Biel is in talks to play Face's former lover and a general chasing the A-Team.

Easy on the eye, but Biel as a general? Riiiiiiight ... So much for the realistic, gritty approach!

 

[Kelso]

Other than Biel, the casting for this thing seems surprisingly good. Liam Neeson, Bradly Cooper, 'Rampage' Jackson, and Sharlto Copley all seem just about perfect for the roles they've been cast in.

Jessica Biel as a general in the military may trump casting Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist in The World is Not Enough in terms of ludicrousness

 

[Aragorn]

General Jessica Biel? That sounds like something right out of Smallville central casting.

I hear Smallville is looking to cast the President of the United States... and the two names at the top of their list are Miley Cyrus and Hilary Duff.

 

[melancholymecha]

so Sharlto accepted?

I really didnt think he'd take the role since he's not really an actor.

 

[wamdue]

ok slightly off topic, but this seems the best place for it.

there is a taxi that picks up a kid near me for school every morning, one of those big people movers 9 seats kind of a deal (the type that would have won WW1 had it been around) is made up like the A Team van, and is called "The A-Team Taxis" I wonder if the right holders know about this?

more to the point what is the government doing hiring people wanted by the government to ferry kids to & from school?

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

The trades have to be mistaken in reporting that Jessica Biel is playing a general. Surely she's playing a captain or major who's tasked by a general to capture the A-Team. Right?

 

[24thcenstfan]

I loved The A-Team. I have a hard time picturing anyone else in those roles. There are some shows/movies that I wish the Hollywood remake machine wouldn't get ahold of.

 

[Captaindemotion]

Buuuuump .... Here's a link to a fairly distant but clear-ish pic of all 4 of the team together.

[captcalhoun]

i'll get more excited (or not) when we see a promo pic...

 

[auntiehill]

In this case, I totally agree. Just thinking of how they'll screw this up makes me sad.

 

[captcalhoun]

In 2002 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they did not commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem...if no-one else can help... and if you can find them... maybe you can hire...The A-Team!

they were given orders to rob the bank of Kabul in 2001 during the Allied invasion of Afghanistan, but their CO was killed by an IED, and with him went the only evidence that the op wasn't a rogue one...

 

[Captaindemotion]

Pics of La Biel as El Generallisma have also surfaced. F*ck realism, who needs it when she looks this hot?!

[Aragorn]

That General Jessica Biel bit has to be incorrect, like either the person who started this rumor got her rank wrong or missed the part about her character working for a general.

Of course, on Smallville, Biel would be TOO OLD to play a general.
