So, let's see. A lot of classics from my childhood are coming to the big screen. We've had G.I. Joe, we've had Transformers...what's next?
How about The A-Team?
Yup, the movie version of The A-Team is now filming for a June 11, 2010 release. And today, we had our first picture of the cast!
So, who is the new A-Team? From left to right we have:
Bradley Cooper, star of the sleeper hit of the summer The Hangover, as Templeton "Face" Pack.
UFC fighter Quinton "Rampage" Jackson as BA Barracus.
Sharlton Copely, star of the hit summer film District 9, as "Howlin' Mad" Murdock.
And, rounding out the team, none other than Qui-Gon Jinn himself, Liam Neeson as John "Hannibal" Smith.
Not pictured is Jessica Beal as Amy Allen. They changed the character of Amy for the movie. In the early seasons of the show, she was a plucky reporter who frequently assisted the A-Team. In the movie, she's the hard-ass MP with the task of bringing in the A-Team...and one of Face's many ex-girlfriends.
The director is Joe Carnahan, who brought us such fine action films as Narc and Smokin' Aces. Ridley Scott, who brought us such classics as Alien and Gladiator is producing.
This could be good.
And in another bit of industry news, Nickelodeon, the children's TV network in the USA, bought the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.
Nickelodeon's plans for the franchise include a new cartoon (computer animated of course) and a new movie (live action of course). It'll all be coming in 2012.
