what the shit? now i grew up with the A-Team and I love the 80s, but these TV show/movie/comic book remakes have got to be put out of their misery...just WHO is it in these planning idea meetings that green-lights this stuff??


The A-Team film directed by Ridley Scott to hit cinemas in 2010

The production will be a "fast-paced action movie" that avoids the campy tone of the original and replaces Vietnam with the Middle East as the place the do-gooder soldiers of fortune served before escaping to the “Los Angeles underground”, Hollywood newspaper Variety has reported.

Sir Ridley is lined up to produce the 20th Century Fox project alongside his brother, Tony Scott, while Joe Carnahan, who wrote and directed 2006’s Smokin’ Aces, will direct. The film is due out in June 2010.

Co-creator of the original series Stephen J Cannell is also on board as a producer.

The show, which ran for five series from 1983 to 1986 on American television network NBC, featured George Peppard, Mr T, Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz as the mismatched band of mercenaries on the run from the government “for a crime they didn’t commit”.

It spawned a host of catchphrases including Peppard’s character Hannibal's oft repeated line “I love it when a plan comes together”.

10. Double the explosions, 10 times the bullets, nobody dies!

Only the A-Team could fire more rounds than the combined world militaries and still manage to not do permanent damage to anyone.

11. So the FOX "The New A-Team" remake from a few years back was scrapped...

Sorry Riddles, I won't be bothering.
