Gizmodo posted the cast for the upcoming A-Team film adaptation today. And I don’t know how to feel about the reimagining of my most beloved childhood TV series (next to The Smurfs and Kids, Incorporated). I loved Star Trek but was by no means a big fan. I was thrown by Michael Mann’s take on Miami Vice but still respected it. Now the real cornerstone of my childhood TV years is having its moment.
Liam Neeson as Hannibal? I love the guy but never imagined him having much of a sense of humor. But in this photo, he totally looks the part. Bradley Cooper, who I still miss as Will Tippin on Alias, as Face? That part I’m in love with. Sharlto Copley, the lead in the creeptacular District 9, is cast as Murdock (always my favorite), and a UFC fighter I’ve never heard of named Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is filling Mr. T’s very blingy shoes as BA Baracus. All I can say is, he’d better be able to say “I pity the fool” and mean it, or this whole enterprise is done for.
