B.A. is back

[Flying Headbutt]

I have it on strong authority that Ice Cube is playing BA and Woody Harrelson has signed on as Mad Dog Murdock

Howling Mad Murdock

true story -- about 5 years ago, I'm at a wedding in LA. At my table is Ashley Peppard, real life son of Hannibal. After about 8 Sapphire and tonics, I'm bombarding the guy with A-Team stuff -- did your dad ever say "I love it when a plan come together? Did you two ever drug somebody who hates to fly?". Needless to say, I doubt that I'm on his Xmas card list.

I recently watched an episode of the original. It is difficult to convey just how awesomely terrible it was.

I'd like to see Tarantino do an 80s TV remake ... he'd definitely slather on the cheese. :D

MMmmm, cheese

Peter Griffin as Hannibal
Cleveland Brown as BA
Joe Swanson as Murdock
Glen Quagmire as Face

Man I loved that episode

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

The should redo the movie with all chicks

Demi Moore as Hannibal
Scary Spice or Queen Latifah as BA
Jamie Pressley as Howling Mad Murdoch
Selma Hayek, Jennifer Love Hewitt or Catherine Zeta Jones as Face

In the male version I nominate Ryan Reynolds as Murdoch

 

[TheHacker]

Mr. T should definitely play B.A., and Howard Stern should be cast as the main villain, you know, just to make sure B.A. is real good and pissed off.

 

[DanOregon]

Funny with the Clooney mention and Ice Cube, but why not just reunite the entire cast of Three Kings with Spike Jonz as Murdock and Marky Mark as Face Man.

Much much much much more emphasis on the awesome, I hope. I love that show. Still.

Thank you! The A-Team is a fantastic show if you want to check your mind at the beginning, enjoy corny lines and see bad guys get out and run after their car flips 25 times.

 

[Football_Bat]

Thanks y'all, I now have the A-Team theme song running through my head non-stop.

Gotta admit, kid-oriented as it was, it was just about Hollywood's only Vietnam reference between "Apocalypse Now" and "Platoon"/"Full Metal Jacket."

Man, John Singleton has fallen the **** off. From "Boyz N The Hood" to this?
Course, Ice Cube went from cursing rappers who sold out to making ****ty family comedies.

 

[Rex Harrison]

Well, Singleton could always take the material seriously and make a movie about mercinaries. Then again, Michael Mann's new Miami Vice was like any other modern cop/narc movie. Just had a brand name on the box.

The Miami Vice movie would have been 100 kinds of awesome if it had been set in the same era as the TV show.

 

[Rex Harrison]

There's some kind of affliction in Hollywood that mandates period pieces from the 20th century must be parodies or slapstick comedy. Such as Starsky & Hutch.

True, but I'd really like to see them go the other way with this one and do something darker and more serious in tone than the original. Make sure the A-Team guns down some bad guys within the first five minutes.

 

[Ben_Hecht]

Still, the Peppard-for-laughs trophy was retired decades ago, with The Carpetbaggers.

The best bad MOVIE ever made.

And Jessica Biel as the Army general chasing them?

Well, she'll be a lot better to look at than the William Lucking/Jack Ging/Lance LeGault triumvirate of middle-aged actors filling the role.
