New A-Team Set Footage: 'More Muscle, Less Gold'
Filed under: Action, 20th Century Fox, Remakes and Sequels, Trailers and Clips
Feelings are mixed about The A-Team movie, and Entertainment Tonight's on-set visit doesn't shed a whole lot of light on the plot. Naturally, one of the team members (Bradley Cooper as the old Faceman) and the one lady in the movie (Jessica Biel as Amy Allen) used to date, and there's some undercurrent of drama between them. Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, who is taking over Mr. T's star-making role as Bosco Baracus, does sport the Mr. T hairdo (I pity the fool who calls it a hairdon't) but claims there will be "more muscle, less gold." And Bradley Cooper gives us some diet tips."No salt or sugar. That's been greeaaat. I just eat what they put in front of me, but it's a lot of, like, boiled chicken and brown rice and broccoli."
I'm going to go eat a hamburger in his honor.
Two stand-out people they didn't talk to include Liam Neeson and District 9's breakout star Sharlto Copley. I'm very curious to see if Copley can parlay his first role in a big-budget US movie into stardom. I hope so, because I thought he rocked in District 9, as anyone who has ever heard me screech "PRAWNS!!!" in a restaurant can attest.
Did this video make you any more or less excited about the movie? Personally, I'm going with no.
Watch ET's set visit after the jump along with an inspirational YouTube video of Mr. T's song "Treat Your Mother Right." Just because.

Wha?!!? Faceman's the lead in this? What happened to Col. John "Hannibal" King? Sorry, they've lost me already.

what a load of crap...ruining another classic you people should be ashamed of yourselves. If all of the originals cant make a comeback on the show it shouldn't be done. I will NOT be watching this movie.

Why does Sharlto Copley have Dirk Benedict's hair?

No mixed feelings here. Bradley Cooper is shaping up to be a pretty interesting sort of leading man, Liam Neeson should be great, and I'm absolutely rooting for Sharlto Copely to own his role...I love that guy.

First, they need to leave some things alone. After the way they screwed up Dukes of Hazzard and Starksy & Hutch, I don't wanna see any more of my favorite tv shows turned into disaster movies! Wanna remake an ol tv show? Try Love Boat. Secondly, the casting is wrong; Robert Wagner as Hannibal (if you think he's too "experienced", Bruce Willis would be great) LL Cool J or Common as BA, Jason Lee (My Name is Earl) as Murdock and Michael Weatherly (NCIS) as Face.

I don't mind the idea of remakes or TV-to-big screen conversions. What I do mind is the idea that they have to change everything so much as to be virtually unecognizable. Is any of the original cast going to be appearing in the movie? If not, this will be another film I won't be going to see. Might not even spend the dollar to rent it at RedBox.

Just wanted to address the comment about writers not having original ideas anymore - well, we sure do have original ideas, but unfortunately it's hard to get anyone in Hollywood to listen, that is why there are so many great indie films out there, because that is the way many of us have to go in order to get our screenplays sold and made into movies. Don't blame writers for this crappy trend to remake everything that moves (not that all of them are that bad, just not orginal), blame the studios etc, for not being willing to take a chance on something new or a new writer. There are plenty of hacks in Hollywood willing to churn out these remakes for a buck, but there are also plenty of screenwriters with great stories that just can't get their foot in the door of a big studio. Shame on the money people for being so short sighted! I know I want great new storylines as a moviegoer, the Hollywood money men don't seem to understand that!

OMG! Another classic ruined by an overzealous Hollywood filmmaker. C'mon...Bradley Cooper? and Jessica Biel? Lame.. I didn't understand half of the written article, It jumped around with no segue, Can anyone clarify if they were insinuating that Liam Neeson was in this flick? GOD I HOPE NOT! He is way too good of an actor to get caught up in this mess.

Oh goodie, TV wants to be uncreative again and ruin another delicious, campy show. This is why viewers get bored, no creativity. Leave the A-Team alone.
