[...] The A-Team movie is a project that has been in development for years and years now, with various different people attached to write, star and direct at different stages. The first name attached to helm it was Boyz In The Hood director John Singleton, but he dropped out (due to creative differences), and then Smokin’ Aces director Joe Carnahan was brought on-board.

I was thinking to myself when I first heard they were remaking this – great, gonna ruin another fond memory of the 80′s…

Carnahan is a decent director and I think he can do some good work here, especially with the Scotts behind him. That said, the Scotts tend towards realism in their films and Carnahan is not shy about death scenes – I don’t think between the two of them they could ham it up to the 5 million rounds and the only damage done would be a few flipped vehicles – and then Colonel Decker rolls in to make the arrest…

Let’s not kid ourselves though, this will not be the Scott’s finest film by a long shot, it’s purely a trip down nostalgia lane to collect some cash from a hopefully entertaining film…

Here’s my list -
Hannibal Smith: Thomas Jane
Templeton Peck “Face”: Chris Evans
BA Baracas: Ving Rhames
“Howling Mad” Murdoch: Seann William Scott
Colonel Decker: Kiefer Sutherland

Here’s why – Vin Diesel cannot act, CLooney and Willis won’t do it – and Willis would be too old (maybe)
Sean William Scott has some chops, but can be a knucklehead too. Kiefer has that no BS attitude to do an MP. Ving Rhames a bit older, but could pull it off. Chris Evans is a very good actor in my opinion (see London) and could pull of the action star and slickness of Face. Thomas Jane is believable as Hannibal (he can’t be the younger guy, he’s the colonel – but should be able to handle a high action role)

AND PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS SACRED – NO CAMEO’S or BSG continuity – might as well hand it over to Bruckheimer or Bay and through in Jessica Simpson to really kill this one before it ever starts…

Hannibal : Bruce Campbell/George Clooney/John Travolta/Bill Murray/Harrison Ford(for washed up value)
Face : Matt Damon/Jake Gillenhal/Shia Labouff
Murdock : Steve Buschemi/Jack Black
BA : Ice Cube/Dwayne Johnson(Rock)
Amy : Insert any starlet you like.

Any way just a few options, probably blow the budget right out. Could be interesting.

Ving Rhames does sound good. Def got the attitude.

If we’re going with the BSG link, maybe Face should be payed by a woman?

Have to admit to being interested in this though. How it will turn out. The A Team were so 80s – four guys travelling about together, fighting but never killing. Will they stick to that for the movie or drag it into the post-dark knight era and make it more gritty and real?

Either way I’ll probably check it out.

I’ve got to agree with Ving Rhames for Mr T – though it would be nice if the original had a cameo. I’d suggest George Clooney for Hannibal, channeling the way he played Danny Ocean to the hilt. I never thought about it before, but since he was mentioned Aaron Eckhart does actually look a lot like the Face man – something about the way he smiles. And I’d say Murdoch’s role was made for Jim Carrey, its the role he’s played in pretty much every other movie he’s done. But what about the girl – can’t remember her name – no one has mentioned her yet. It would be ironic to get Kara Thrace to play her, get another Starbuck in the franchise plus see if she can do girly as well as she does macho.

Michael Jai White as B.A.
Timothy Olyphant as Faceman
Dominic West as Murdock
Vin Diesel as Hannibal

I would like to believe that I am watching an A-Team and not the F-Team. Plus, it can be Diesel’s true comeback flick, he is pretty washed up wouldn’t you say GreenKnight333?

BUT, even though Carnahan is directing and the Scotts producing, this is Hollywood and a 20th Century Fox production/property.
So, I can see them getting younger actors to appeal to the ‘younger’ crowd, therefore I see:
Zac Efron as Faceman
Nick Cannon as B.A.
Ashton Kutcher as Murdock
and…
Shia Labeouf as Hannibal!

Lets hope that does not happen, but, if (thats a strong if) something like this does, then we’ll surely be seeing the P-Team instead of the A-team.

On second thoughts ………..

Prison break has it all

B.A. – Dominic Purcell
Face – Wentworth Miller
Murdoc – Robert Knepper
Hannibal – William Fichtner
Amy – Sarah Wayne Callies

P.S. I suck

B.A. – Ving Rhames
Hannibal – Tommy Lee Jones
Murdock – Steve Buscemi
Face – Leonardo DiCaprio

Real original……….

I’ve been saying it for years: Ving Rhames as BA!!!

I’m not sure about the rest…
Perhaps Aaron Eckhart as Face?

maybe Michael Clarke Duncan for BA, Matthew Perry for Face, Seann William Scott for Murdoch, and Mel Gibson as Hannibal

I think this is great news as this movie has the potential to be a LOT of fun.

How about Steve Buscemi as Murdock?? He can do crazy really well. I liked the idea of Bruce Willis as Hannibal Smith, I think he’d be a perfect fit. Not too sure about Face and BA, but I don’t see why Mr. T can’t just return as BA….LOL.

I am happy for Joe Carnahan. He started out with the humble “BGBO” back in 1998, in a little town called Sacramento, CA, and has gone on to this. Glad to see it.

Okay if they follow the casting from the television series there has to be a few elements they try to meet:

Washed up Hollywood actor to play Hannibal

A former BSG actor to play face…

A nemesis from a Rocky film to play BA (Antonio Tarver … Mason ‘The Line’ Dixon)

Anyone think of anything else..?
