Singleton Bails On A-Team
This is not a good sign. It appears that Fox is pushing the A-Team back a year, and Singleton has decided to jump off of the project. We get the following news announcement from our friends over at IESB:
Director John Singleton has departed the big screen adaptation of THE A-TEAM due to rewrites and date shifts.
The A-Team – originally June 12, 2009 is now June 11, 2010
Well, this isn’t good news at all. Rewrites aren’t always bad news, but when a director bails on a project and sites the re-writes as a reason…you usually have some garbage on your hands. And garbage isn’ t what I want to see in an A-Team remake. The A-Team takes out the trash, they take it out!
At this point, I hope the project gets scrapped. I want to see an A-Team remake, but I want to see it done right and I’m willing to wait for that to happen.
why cant they just NOT do this movie?
Word on the street is that the studio thought Singleton’s script was garbage and they were getting ready to fire him anyway. I think they decided to get re-writes done and allowed him the dignity of “quitting”
It also states that date changes were also a problem, which could be due to him having other commitments that this would conflict with.
Good. His films are just barley okay. A-Team needs to be epic action!
well if this means any A B C Z Lil foolio 24 cents rapper starring as BA Barracus im happy.
Can’t really say that am not happy about it, as I wasn’t a fan of any of his films. Four brothers was ok as was boys in the hood, but 2 fast 2 furious was utter gabbage.
Give it to Martin ‘Golden Eye, Zorro, Casino Royale’ Campbell He knows how to do an action movie and with a excellent script. It could get the justice it deserves. I love it when a plan comes together
