Liam Neeson in talks for 'A-Team'
Mood: Excited
http://www.variety.com/article/VR111...goryid=13&cs=1 Liam Neeson is in negotiations with 20th Century Fox to star in its long-gestating bigscreen adaptation of "The A-Team" as Col. John "Hannibal" Smith. Bradley Cooper is in early talks to play Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck in the Joe Carnahan-directed pic based on the 1980s TV series. Production begins in late August for a June 11, 2010, release. Ridley Scott is producing with Jules Daly and series creator Stephen J. Cannell, with Tony Scott exec producing through Scott Free. Carnahan and Brian Bloom polished a script by Skip Woods, whose recent script credits include "G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra" and "Wolverine." Neeson is in talks to play Hannibal, the role originated by George Peppard, while Cooper would play "Faceman," the role played by Dirk Benedict. Neeson and Fox are working out money issues. He is coming off the global hit "Taken" and most recently completed "Chloe" and "Clash of the Titans," playing Zeus in the latter. Cooper has established himself as a commodity after his starring role in Todd Phillips-directed hit "The Hangover." He just completed playing the title role opposite Sandra Bullock in "All About Steve." Carnahan, Fox and Scott Free have kept the series premise -- four war vets wrongly convicted of armed robbery escape from a military prison to become do-gooder mercenaries -- but they've replaced the campy nature of the series with a tone closer to those of "Mission: Impossible" and "Ocean's Eleven." Still to be cast are the roles of Capt. "Howling Mad" Murdock, played by Dwight Schultz in the original, and Sgt. "B.A." Baracus, the role that made Mr. T an '80s icon. |

I watched an episode of the A-Team last night...something about them taking out a beer company that was trying to strong-arm a little soda factory so they could buy the land.
It was wonderfully awful.

Hannibal's intro is just about the coolest intro for a badass I think I've ever seen. It was just so ****ing slick.
I'm hoping there are more A-Team movies. These guys could be better than the original A-Team. By the way, lots and lots of little uses of the A-Team theme. I was a little disappointed we didn't get the full blown movement until the credits, though. Also, it was so funny to see Hannibal using an AK-47 that looked like it popped right out of the TV show.

The hummer breakout was cool....not only because the movie played the A-Team theme, but "Reginald Barclay" was in the credits. By the way, there are several breakout scenes in this movie, and they all rock.

By the way, I wanted to shoot the screen during the stupid Twilight movie preview. Ugh.

Liam's career is in utter failure when it comes to acting in these roles. You know the film would be the suckage.

I was a big fan of George Peppard. But I hated the A-Team. However the purist in me thinks Liam is totally miscast as Hannibal here. I heard they originally wanted Bruce Willis. That would have been a much better choice for this role.
