A-Team: How I think they can make the movie not suck!
(Tue 12/11/2007 11:30pm)

The upcoming remake of the A-team is now in the works. If they want this movie to be successful I say they should do the following:

1. Keep the humor. It's what made the show. Take that away and your left with the short lived show "Soldiers of Fortune" starring Dennis Rodman. Burn Notice proves that action/comedies of this type still work.

2. Use the following cast:

Leslie Neilson as Hannibal (Comeon he looks just like him, you know I'm right)
Mr. T as B.A. Barracas (Lord knows he could use the work)
David Hasselhof as Faceman (The Hoff knows how to romance the ladies, just watch his youtube video and you'll see him make love to the camera....and eat a cheeseburger).  Andy Dick as Howling Mad Murdock (You want crazy! You won't get crazier than Andy Dick! BTW His name is A. Dick and it's his real name! Yes sir you won't get crazier than that! Oh boy I'm on the jazz now!) Sgt. Slaughter as the general chasing them! (who doesn't love Sgt. Slaughter? I ask ya who?)

 THAT IS MY FAKEY FAKE JOKE CAST LIST! THE FOLLOWING IS MY REAL CAST LIST!: 

Cast Michael Clark Duncan as B.A. Barracas (Here's perfect for the part)
Cast Dirk Benedict as Hannibal (Hannibal is alot like Faceman but older, which is why he's perfect)
^^^^^These two are definate^^^^
Cast Alan Cummings as Murdock (His manic energy matches that of Murdock, so playing him should be easy)
Cast John Barrowman as Faceman ( His turn in Torchwood shows his abilities to charm the ladies, without really having to try that hard)
^^^^Still not 100% sure if these two are best for the part, but sure they could pull it off effectively.
Cast R Lee Ermy as the general chasing them.
^^^^He's always fun!

3. Cut the Chick reporter out of the story, I never liked her, and I suspect no one else did either! Mostly she was just annoying.

4. The film should include at least one of their trademark building something elaborate out of hosehold items, that gets them out of a jam, montage! It was a major part of the show and it's what they're know for dangit!

5. You gotta have the A-team van! You just gotta!!!

I JUST LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER! -NotAFan
