A-Team Release Date Annaounced

Ateam VanIt looks like the A-Team will be upon is in 2009, we get the following news from the professionals at Variety:

Twentieth Century Fox has skedded John Singleton’s film version of 1980s TV series “The A-Team” for release on June 12, 2009. Singleton will direct the action-adventure from a script by writing partners Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (“Wanted,” “3:10 to Yuma”).

Well good gracious! With a release date announced, I am guessing that we should soon expect some casting news to follow. I am excited about the idea of an A-Team film, but the casting is going to be key. For years now we have mulled about the different casting possibilities and it will be interesting to see if any of our dream picks get selected. We should start an A-Team pool right here, right now. Post the 4 people you think will get hired for the job, and the winner will have eternal bragging rights and the respect of your peers. I will also throw in a Jumbo bag of cool ranch Doritos.

  1. Burt Reynolds, Tommy Lee Jones, Harrison Ford, Anthony Hopkins,all great ideas for Hannibal… if u set it in an old folks home. Old-timer:”The nurses won’t stop serving us potato thru a straw”,with people to save from potato thru a straw the A-Team gather a wheelchair, a zimmer frame, an IV Line, plus some incontinence nappies and a few wrinkly old hand close-ups later the team have assembled a tank firing fecal bombs. And they get away just before Diagnosis Murder starts, brilliant, it practically writes itself, ha ha. Looking old and/or having grey hair doesn’t qualify one as a good idea for Hannibal, may as well cast Connery or Eastwood at that rate. He doesn’t have to be white either.

  2. I think Mr T should play the B.A.Baracus,Dirk Benedict as Face,Dwight Schultz as Howling mad,since our dear fellow late George Peppard is no longer with us we can have Tommy Lee Jones or Harrison Ford as Hannibal i think either of them will suit the role play.As long as we have the old team and just 1 new guy the film should be a hit. But nobody should play Mr T’s role ‘coz’ neither of the above suit the role.Please do consider this mail as i was and still am a big fan of the A-Team.

  3. My preference would be:

    BA – Ice Cube (no 2nd thoughts)
    Murdock – Johnny Knoxville (not a great actor, but perfect for the role)
    Face – Rob Lowe (I think Rob would be great at this, but I could also see David Duchovny or Mark Wahlberg.)
    Hannibal – Phillip Seymor Hoffman (He has the whole package. I like Bruce Willis or Mel Gibson too though. Not sure they can get either for this role though.)

  4. Backup casts

    B.A. – Terry Crews

    Face – Channing Tatum, Brandon Routh, James Franco

    Hannibal – Harrison Ford

    Murdock – Steve Carrell

    Amy – Jennifer Garner, Heather Graham, Uma Thurman

  5. What it should be:

    BA – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

    Face – Adrian Grenier

    Hannibal – Tommy Lee Jones

    Murdock – Jim Carrey

    Amy – Sarah Michelle Gellar (a little out of the box, I know)

  6. I came up with the perfect cast for this movie years ago:

    Hannibal: Tommy Lee Jones
    Murdock: Jim Carrey
    Face: Viggo Mortensen
    B.A.: Ving Rhames
    Amy: Jennifer Anniston

  9. B.A. – and because it’s fantasy… Violent J.. in reality I’d say 50 cent, but no one is going to be Mr. T…….
    Face – Channing Tatum
    Murdoch – Johnny Knocksville
    Hannibal – Benicio Del Turo

    and that guy who helped them finally escape ..kinda…. John Leqizamo

    The girl – Laura San Giacomo… in something low cut

    Put them in a hummer

  10. (Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)BA-busta or ving rhames,murdock-jim carey-face-christine bale-hannbal-can’t think of no one to really play that part maybe a unknown name or face but this will be perfect if they put a lot into it

  11. Umm Woody harrelson is going to be Murdoch..That was posted here like a month ago..

    Now as for the rest of the cast

    BA= Jamal Duff ( Me’shell from dodgeball) He’s got the voice for it and I can definatley here him say ” I pity the fool”

    Face= I say Christian Bale or Mark Wahlburg

    Hannibal= Kurt Russel I mean does anyone remember big trouble in little china. He would rock as Hannibal.

    I can hear the theme now…This movie will rock hands down..

  12. BA – defintely Samuel L. Jackson

    Murdoch – either Jim Carrey or Steve Carrell

    Face – Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise or Steve Carrell (Steve looks like Templeton “Faceman” Peck, doesn’t he?)

    Hannibal – Anthony Hopkins

  13. @ COSMIC

    All eighties shows where brainless. No big script plots just brainless entertianment for the plebs… because there was nothing else to compare with…

    So to make an adaptation to the big screen with big competitors now a days… whats the most easy way to go?

    Be funny or die trying being tough…

  14. well.. does anyone REALLY care if this movie its going to be made?
    lets face it.. every single tv show adaptation SUCKED..

    -Charlie’s Angels
    -Starsky and Hutch
    -The Dukes of Hazzard

    well.. lets wait and see if they will TRIE to do something cool with this one and not just a stupid brainless crap..

  15. BA – Ving Rhames
    Murdoch – Jason Lee
    Face – Aaron Eckhart
    Hannibal – George Clooney

    Although I agree with Bishop that Will Arnett as Murdoch would be genius.

  16. I always looked at the movie “Three kings” as a modern version of the “A-Team” so yea using those actors to reprise there “Three Kings” roles would make a LOT of sense.

    Though if not them I`d go:-

    BA = Ving Rhames
    Murdoch = Ben Stiller
    Face = Aaron Eckhart
    Hannibal = Mark Hammon

  17. BA – I agree with Doug, nobody but Mr. T, the guy never ages anyway.
    Murdoch – Steve Buscemi
    Hannibal – Never happen, but I say Michael Biehn
    Face – Matt Damon

  18. BA – Terry Crews (White Chicks, The Longest Yard, Idiocracy)

    He has the physical presence and the acting ability to make you laugh and at the same time be scared shitless of him.

  19. I can see doug is expecting this to be R rated.

    Unfortunatley it won’t be. They will shoot it as an R rated movie but i am sure fox will turn it into PG-13 by dubbing most of the foul language.

    They did that to Die Hard 4 and later released a dvd in which they put back all the foul dialogues and digitally added blood.

  20. I love George Clooney as Hannibal.

    Micheal Clarke Duncan as BA is growing on me.

    Charlie Sheen as Face could be fun.

    The obvious choice for Murdoch is Jim Carrey but that could get annoying, so lets say…Steve Zahn.

  21. BA – Ice Cube
    Murdoch – Spike Jonze
    Face – Mark Wahlberg
    Hannibal – George Clooney

    Yes it’s the cast from “Three Kings”, but I think they’d be perfect, especially if they go a Desert Storm route for the backstory.
