The Official 'The A Team' Movie Thread

After years upon years of speculation the A team movie seem's to finally be getting of the ground. Woody Harrelson has recently been on British BBC radio saying he's excited to be making the movie (as Murdock) and acyor/rapper Ice Cube was recently on a american TV show where he mentioned he was in talks to play B.A. Baracus.

With these two in place who would you like to see portray Hannibal, Face, Amy Allen and Col. Decker?

More interestingly what do you think the story should be about? So many times the casting is discussed but seldom the actual story. A recent article online has speculated that Face will be the villian of the movie who betrays the A team only to redeem himself near the end.

What are your thoughts on the movie, the cast, the story?

 

I totally agree, Clooney would be perfect though i heard Cannell wanted Bruce Willis. As you said i'm not sure Clooney would do it he's come along way from doing this kind of movie.

As for Ice Cube, i too dont think he's good enough, I know T would not do it being a born again christian (he also said in a British magazine he and the other cast members would not cameo if asked) I'd prefer Ving Rhames.

Matthooper, how recently did you hear Cannell say this, because i heard Harrelson was on board and they had a script they liked.

 

Oh.

i was hoping it was a while back, i mean its about time they got this of the ground now, it's been too long. Well least it has a Director now, that's progress.

 

Personally i'd love to see a movie, They just have to get the cast right and make the characters faithful to the series.

 

I know Stephen J. Cannell wanted Bruce Willis, said that was his ideal Hannibal, personally i cant imagine anyone better than Clooney, Clooney chomping on a cigar saying 'i love it when a plan comes together' it just fits.

I imagine they'll update the van too, though i cant think of anything at the moment that would be cool as the GMC.
