I just heard there are plans for a movie remake of the The A Team.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429493/

Yeah there's been talk for quite some time and it's been confirmed recently. It's gonna blow monkey balls naturally. This is one show whose characters you can't translate into contemporary stars. I mean, Ice Cube instead of Mr. T? I don't like it. And Dwight Schultz owns Murdock. I never thought I'd be one of those purists who are against a remake in principal but this is just wrong.

I hate it when a remake comes together.

I pitty the fool who gives Ice Cube a mohawk.

I never saw the original series, but Cannell's comments that the movie will be a more serious, grim & gritty take, which he approves of, seems kind of ridiculous. The original series was pretty tongue in cheek right? So why couldn't the movie be a big high adventure lark? Why take a property and change the very elements that made it succesful?

It's like the idiotic streak that still grips the comics industry, the need to make everything uber-serious and "adult" by tossing in cursing and as many sexual elements as possible.

The trailer's online here:

I'm not sure about it myself - some of it looks good, but some bits look too cheesy (The tank parachuting from the plane / "You look like you got a... real bad attitude!")

Jesus Christ. I'm speechless. This will SUCK on every conceivable level.

Looks terrible doesn't it?

BA is the main problem for me. He can't act. Bit of a stumbling block that. Would have been better with a geriatric Mr T in it....

BA? Who's BA?

Looks like another generic action flick. Bleh.

Mr. T is a God awful actor - but he was so bad he was actually good. This new BA...Jesus, I don't know what to say. This looks like a joke - but not on purpose.

B.A. Baracus. The black guy. Used to be played by Mr T.

Now it's "Rampage" a streetfighter turned actor. He looks terrible. Looks tiny as well, for some reason, which kind of defeats the point.

You young pup, too young to have appreciated the sheer delight of the A Team as a kid. It was an institution, along with Knight Rider and Airwolf (which I thought was a bit crap tbh).

I have actually flown in the helicopter they used in Airwolf - pretty awesome (but, yeah, the series was crap - Jan Michael Vincent? Please).

I'm not ready to jump on the 'this is shit' bandwagon. Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper are great. The director, Joe Carnahan, has a decent track record. Narc was awesome and Smokin' Aces was cool.  

I thought the trailer looked pretty good, and I was a fan of the real show.  I thought the parachuting tank was one of those over-the-top stunts that you would expect from the A-Team.

I would liked to have seen more of Murdoch in the trailer.  I think he had only one line in the whole thing.

Will anyone actually die in this movie?  I always thought it funny that they are suppose to be soldiers yet they can't shoot for shit! lol.

Die in the movie?  It be a wonderful change of pace if someone got hurt in the movie.
