The A-Team Movie


Lemonade

Recommended Posts

Is coming out next year. No cast named as yet, but the rumours are:

Hannibal - Bruce Willis

BA - Ice Cube

Murdoch - Woody Harrelson

"A feature film based on The A-Team is planned for release on June 12, 2009 in the United States. It will be produced by 20th Century Fox and Universal Studios and directed by John Singleton, whose past credits include the films Boyz n the Hood, Shaft and 2 Fast 2 Furious.[14]

The film has been in development since the mid 1990s, going through a number of writers and story ideas, and being put on hold a number of times. Producer Stephen J. Cannell hopes to update the setting, perhaps using the first Gulf War as part of the backstory.[15] The cast has not been revealed, though Singleton hoped Woody Harrelson will take on the role of Murdock, while Ice Cube has expressed interest in the role of B.A. Baracus.[16] It also has been rumored that Bruce Willis is being considered for the role of John "Hannibal" Smith.[17]

"

Anyway, the point of this post is, if you were the casting director, who would you have in the 4 lead roles? I'm away to have a think about it... :popcorn:

My dream A-Team!

Hannibal - It's got to be somebody pretty old, but still quite well built, they still need to be believable firing a tommy gun and chomping on a cigar. Maybe Harvey Keitel? Or Tommy Lee Jones?

Face - known for being handsome, smooth and a womaniser and the ability to talk his way into anything. The logical choice would be Tom Cruise but Kevin Spacey could probably pull it off.

Murdock - Got to be comedic without being too rubber faced, and still pretty hard looking - he is a Vietnam veteran after all. So that rules out the likes of Jim Carrey. Christian Slater or Johnny Knoxville would do.

BA - There can't be many actors out there with the sheer size of Mr T, except maybe Michael Clarke Duncan (he was John Coffey in the Green Mile). He would be good, but as there isn't really much acting involved, just scowling and punching people, they might end up going with a rapper or a boxer or something. Maybe someone like Xzibit. Or Bobby Lashley!

Hannibal-Keifer Sutherland

Murdoch-Johnny Depp

Face-Christian Bale

Mr T- Tim Westwood (He likes bling plus his input would lead to an amazingly "pimped" Van, it's all well and good building a tank out of common house hold goods but someone needs to fire in the 8track and furry dice)

First Official Look: The A-Team | /Film

Fuck knows if Rampage can act, but the guy is hysterical! :up: Some of the stuff he came out with on the UF series was brilliant

Rampage is the only person worthy of the Mohawk.

This will either be a film of exquisite comedy genius or a Starsky and Hutch-esque epic fail. I hope it's the former. Not sure about Neeson but the rest are perfectly cast in my opinion.

Ideal casting imo would have been:

George Clooney - Hannibal

Jim carrey - Murdock

Brad Pitt - Face

Michael; Clarke Duncan as BA

Helena Bonham Carter as Amy

Dwight Schultz as Colonel Decker

Dirk Benedict as Colonel Lynch

Cameo by Mr T as BA's father who has been kidnapped by the Military in an attempt to flush out the A Team.

See that would work :)
