Just heard that Rampage Jackson had a falling out with UFC President and actually backed out of a scheduled UFC Pay Per View fight because of his filming schedule of The A-team.

LOL

im not a biel hater, i think she is one of the hottest actresses, and not a horrible actress. i just don’t see her in a serious, military general role. maybe if she was older and a little more hardcore.

As a die hard fan of the A-Team, I’m giving this new cast a chance. The only one I’m familiar with is Liam Neeson and I can see him as an updated Hannibal. You’re never going to duplicate the originals so we’ll just see how it goes. The van is also a pleasant surprise. They could have left it out altogether. They seem to be making an attempt at a remake instead of a redo. BUT! Jessica Biel in ANY ROLE??? Gag. She can’t act and she’s certainly not a believable General…or Colonel or Latrine cleaner for that matter. How to take the movie from potential to ruin in less than 2 seconds? Cast her. Or Tori Spelling.

Why is the back door open on the van? Is that safe? If the driver is the only occupant, should he pull over and close it? Or should he run back and shut it while still moving but do it really, really fast? What if he trips on his way and falls out the back? Now you have a van with no driver and the door is STILL open! What kind of wreckless movie making is this anyway?

My point with the smile is, Liam Neeson has an evil smile. When Peppard smiled, I smiled with him, he could laugh about another one of his outrageous plans, he was a bit crazy, but funny.
Maybe I´m a bit colored by Taken, which was a good action movie, but Neeson was acting – especially in the beginning – so bad.
And people did get killed on The A-Team, although nobody seems to remember that. General Fullbright died, and in one of the first episodes (in Las Vegas) someone was thrown dead out of a window.

Dos Things….

I hope that there is at least one ‘shoot out’ where everyone fire off thousands of rounds and NOBODY gets hit or killed.

Another is ‘last time I was on the Universal Tour the ORIGIONAL Van was still freak’n there!

See you at the Doughnut Shop! ~ Stark

are we talking about a chick flick or an action movie?

George Peppard had a great smile, Liam Neeson’s smile is horrible.

how can you not like Liam Neeson? Jessica Biel as a general, that i can agree doesn’t sound believable.

I used to watch the A-Team when I was 4 years old, so I’m a big fan. I’m still very sceptical about Liam Neeson, and now Jessica Biel… Tawnia Baker’s also still around, and still as pretty as 25 years ago.
Anyway, I don’t see any difference between the two vans, and on a sidenote: Do you (Screenranters) have access to some kind of release list of when we can expect the first trailers for upcoming movies?

I gotta agree with everybody’s concern about Jessica Biel playing an army general. WTF is up with that. Are you sure it’s not the general’s daughter? I’m interested to see how well Rampage plays Baracus, and hoping that his acting skills are as good if not better than his fighting skills. By no means am I a die hard fan, but the van should be jacked up more in the back end. IMO…………

Haha no Andy I’ve only seen a few minutes of “Charlies Angels” and it looked like a uber gay music video.

Didn’t step in that pile, :-

Ahh, but 790, sometimes the 2.5 rated movies are the most fun to watch.

Oh, and please don’t tell me that you thought Charlie’s Angels was even worth a 2.5. I gave it a NEGATIVE 5. What a waste of my time.

Wait for the trailer Andy, I’m expecting this to fall somewhere inbetween the half baked world of,” Charlies Angels, and “Street Fighter”. I’m sure its going to be PG-13 and will try to be cool, but ultimately get a 2.5 review…

I love the van, and I WILL be seeing this movie. Just to see how it comes out, if for anything. Hey, at least it’s an ACTION movie they’re making and not ANOTHER vampire flick. ALso, it could be worse, they could be making a movie about “Small Wonder.”

The only way I would see this is if they used the original cast as a foundation for a new A Team.
Not using Benedict, Mr T, and the guy that plays Murdock is bs,,, they are all still around and could provide a cool substory/origin story for a new A Team…

That’s the direction I would have gone I’m not into any other way, basically because they’re ignoring the original cast ,,,

Even if this had came out way back in 88 or 89 it wouldn’t have put me in the theater seat. At best its a rental. A great many TV shows just haven’t done well as movies. The A- Team show was a heavily formulaic actioner with a comedic twist, not a concept unique enough to put on a movie must see list. On top of everything else its been sooo long in development is it really worth the bother?? You know the bad thing about this is, you can make it cheap enough, sequels could be around forever. Groan…

Glad the van seems to have made a respectable screen adaptation (I was a little concerned they might try to update the look for superficial reasons).

Also glad to hear the word on the tone. Makes me think of a “Sneakers” type team film.

Now, all they need is for Michael Giacchino to adapt the original theme music and it’ll be primed for the big screen. (Of course, I think nearly every film should be scored by Giacchino, but that would likely kill him, so for the most part I only imagine how he’d score most films).
