The A-Team "Three words. New. Hollywood. Movie."

Who would you cast the the roles?

  • A whole new generation of fools may now be pitied. My casting would run thus: Hannibal - John Mahoney Face - David Hyde Pierce Murdock - Kelsey Grammer BA Baracus - Jane Leeves
  • Hannibal - Michael Caine Face - Clive Owen Murdock - Colin Farrell BA Baracus - Bob Hoskins
  • Three more words: "Oh. Hell. No."
  • You know, with the exception of Hannibal, all the original actors are still living. Subsequently, they should be reprise their original roles, with only Jack Nicholson OR Leslie Nielsen replacing George Peppard. Because they are the only two actors I can think of that have the *presence* to pull of that role, is why! Anything less would be... troubling.
  • Never saw the show. Don't know the theme. And I was as teen when the show was popular.
  • I'd rush off to see it if they remade it as the T & A-Team... Hannibal - Isabella Rosellini Face - Catherine Zeta-Jones Murdock - Christina Ricci BA Baracus - Beyonce
  • I would prefer to let the show rest in peace and have Hollywood produce an original script, ie one by me or the millions of other struggling writers who actually make up our own stories. Griping aside, Steve Martin might be an interesting Hannibal. also, my parents went to college with Dwight Schultz, the original Murdock.
  • The theme is the one that goes like this: DAH-duh-dunh-DAAA, DUN-dah-DAAAA. duh-duh-DAH-dun-dahn-DAAA, DAH-duh-DA-dun-DUH. DAH-duh-dunh-DAAA, DUN-dah-DAAAA. DAH-DAH-duh-DAAH-DAAH, DAAH-DAHH-dun-DAAH, DAH! Recognize it now?
  • I don't recognize it because I have never heard it. But I absolutely love it! It is fucking brilliant? I mean, who would have even thought to have come in with that "dahn" on the 12th note? That is the very definition of bold.
  • here's the theme as an mp3. use it only for good, not evil.
  • MonkeyFilter: DAH-duh-dunh-DAAA, DUN-dah-DAAAA. duh-duh-DAH-dun-dahn-DAAA, DAH-duh-DA-dun-DUH. DAH-duh-dunh-DAAA, DUN-dah-DAAAA. DAH-DAH-duh-DAAH-DAAH, DAAH-DAHH-dun-DAAH, DAH! Nah, doesn't work.
  • Hannibal - Morgan Freeman Face - Ewan McGregor Murdock - Crispin Glover BA Baracus - The Rock
  • I agree with Fes -- but not on replacing Hannibal. It'd be easy enough to have the remaining guys do their original roles, with one of them stepping up to become the new leader. You could say that Hannibal got killed by a vicious Afghani warlord or something, and the plot would basically be revenge for Hannibal's death. Of course, there'd be room for a rookie member of the team, a nerdy rogue hacker or Lara Croft knockoff, whatever. Voila! Instant plot! Not too long ago, I saw Mr. T on some Christian fundie TV show, itching to do the Lord's work by killing terrorists. It should be a simple matter to twist that honest conviction into doing an A-Team movie...
  • Don't miss their Finding the A-Team on CraigsList experiment. The commentary's middling to meh, but the responses are pretty funny.
  • Requires a time machine, but I would pay lots of money to see this: Hannibal - Julia Child Face - Jacques Pepin Murdock - Clarissa Dickson Wright BA Baracus - Jennifer Paterson
  • Couldn't Mr T reprise his role? No one else would do, surely. The only A-Team reference I have, since I never watched it, is from Supergran's theme song.
  • If I had a time machine, I think that shooting a version of "A-Team: The Movie" would probaby not make the list of the ten things I would do first.
  • Bernockle, just imagine: SHOCOLAT MOUSSE ASPLODE.
  • Hannibal: Harvey Fierstein Faceman: A wooden puppet Murdock: Robin Williams BA Baracus: Chris Rock
  • Hannibal: Me Faceman: Dino Murdock: I'll throw that bone to Lawford or Bishop BA Baracus: Sammy
  • I'd pay good money to watch Sammy Davis Jr. doing BA Baracus.
  • Ummm... not *quite* what I meant, but still...
  • Hollywood is bankrupt of decent ideas, part # 1387.
  • Hannibal: Anthony Hopkins Faceman: Michael Reilly Burke Murdock: Steve Railsback BA Baracus: Tony Todd
