A-Team is going to be a very difficult project to bring to the big screen in a way that will keep most people happy. You can’t just make a movie version of the TV show. An action adventure where no one ever got shot, no one ever died, everyone got out of the exploding car just in time or parachuted out of the helicopter right before it went down. The closest thing to blood was the ketchup B.A. Baracus put on his fries and the realism stopped before the opening credits.
Yes, it was an AWESOME T.V. show, but that’s not what you can put out in theaters. They’re going to have to change it up a bit… which will probably piss off the purists. So like I said… it’s going to be a hard project to please people… but who ever said it should be easy I guess.
Anyway, some really good news came out about the upcoming A-Team movie. Bradley Cooper (who was recently named as a short list contender to play Green Lantern… a rumor he denies, but I don’t believe him) is going to play Face, which I think it a solid casting choice (if you’re not getting Dirk Benedict back that is).
This movie sounds about 10000% better already since they dropped Ice Cube as B.A. Baracus (yes… that actually was going to happen. *shiver*). (source: Fused Film)
