That's Brad Cooper and Rampage. Who are the other two schmucks?

No kidding. A movie about a group of renegade Special Ops who start doing pro bono justice for the little guy could be a great movie IF it plays this theme as realistically as they can with a tone something like that special ops schizo movie with tommy Lee jones. On the other hand (and they probably will), if they make it comic-bookish, it'll suck.

Not so sure about the casting of Liam Neeson... The rest seem spot on. Cooper as Face = perfect. Copley as Murdoch = also perfect.

This would be awesome a couple ways....serious a la Miami Vice or comedic/action a la Bad Boys. I will most definitely see this.

BTW, the director did one of those cool short films for BMW. It's called Ticker. If that is any indication as to the style of A Team, then it should be cool.

This sounds like a Mad magazine feature. It was a ridiculously ludicrous tlelvision show to begin with. How many hundreds of thousands of rounds were fired w/o anyone ever being hit?

there was one episode b.a. got shot at, followed by half an episode of flashbacks then ended with Murdock donating blood, thereby making the two 'blood brothers'

I always liked the ways they came up with to drug BA so that he would be knocked out so that they could then have him parachute out of the plane. BA had a fear of heights.

The casting of Liam Neeson is awful. That's the one role he won't be good at.

The old show was awesome. I always watched it as a kid.

No, he had a fear of flying, so they had to drug him just to get him on a plane. On a somewhat related note, thinking about 80s TV shows it occurs to me that the 80s were great times for helicopter stunt pilots. There was the A-Team, Magnum P.I., Airwolf, Blue Thunder, Simon & Simon, etc.

If Mr. T doesn't at least do a cameo, this will fail hard.

This will completely suck. COMPLETELY.

The only way it could have been good is if they had cast the roles as following:

Hannibal - Alan Alda
Face - Really is the only one who could be played by just about anyone, so I'll say Colin Farrell.
Murdoch - Bobcat Goldthwaite
BA - Mr T. Can't be anyone else. Except maybe Shaquille O'Neal.
