Explosive A-Team Remixes

The A-Team may have come and gone in parts of the civilized world. The jibba jabba on Rotten Tomatoes rates Joe Carnahan’s big screen re-imagining/regurgitation at a mediocre 49%. South Africans still have to wait until August 20th to watch Hannibal, Face, B.A. and our local guy Sharlto Copley as the nutter Murdock. To pass away the time, I’m listening to an great compilation of A-Team theme tune remixes.

There are four tracks in the explosive A-Team Remixes package, one for each member of the team. The tracks were created by awesome people with equally awesome names like MSTRKRFT, Rye Rye, Dan the Automator, and Just Blaze. Have a listen to the compilation below.

The Murdock Mix is my favourite. Drop us a comment and let us know which one you liked the most.

A-Team Bootleg Trailer is Action-Packed, A Little Ridiculous

From our last post on the A-Team, it’s evident that both Macross and I were quite jubilant at the thought of A-Team moving from TV to the biggest of all screens. As more info came up, we grew increasingly nervous, and now a bootleg trailer may just push us over the breaking point. Everything seemed fine until the parachuting tank scene. Have a look at the leaked trailer before the suits have it pulled down and someone gets castrated with a rusty spoon. Update: the official trailer is now available.

What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

Faceman (Bradley Cooper), B.A (Quinton “Rampage” Jackson), Murdock (Sharlto Copley), and Hannibal (Liam Neeson) cause merry, campy mayhem on June 11th, 2010.

Update: Here are some photos from the movie. Why? I have no idea.


Update 2: Here’s the second teaser trailer filled with more of the things you like.

Star Trek As The A-Team

As you may have read on the Intertubes, South African actor and District 9 star Sharlto Copley is in final negotiations to play the role of oddball chopper pilot, Captain “Howling Mad” Murdock, in in the upcoming A-Team movie (which we blogged about earlier).

Rounding up the team will be Liam Neeson as John ‘Hannibal’ Smith, Bradley Cooper as the Faceman, and former UFC world light heavyweight champion Quinton (Rampage) Jackson as Sgt. B.A. Baracus. Jessica Biel is linked to the project where she will be trying to act herself out of a paper bag, a task which frequent commenter Macross seems to think is impossible ;-)

He also passed this most amusing mashup onto us. It’s a parody of the A-Team theme song starring the cast of Star Trek. Check it out.

Now wasn’t that just a ball of awesome? Thanks Macross!

The A-Team on the Big Screen!

As a kid I loved watching the A-Team. I sang along to the theme tune and totally empathized with the crack commando unit – I too kept getting blamed for everything that went wrong (thanks mom!) and desperately wanted to escape the “stockade” and survive in the world as a soldier of fortune. I must have spent years saying “Quit your jibba jabba fool!” whenever my older brother tried to speak to me. Good times.

I still catch the show on the Series channel, but I can’t regain that exhilarating feeling I had watching it back in the day. Needless to say, there is a plan to bring the A-Team to the big screen and I’d love for that plan to come together.

Variety reveals that the movie is to be directed by Joe Carnahan (Smoking Aces, Narc) and set for release in mid 2010. Two members of the awesome foursome have been set – Liam Neeson will play the A-Team’s leader Col. John ‘Hannibal’ Smith and Bradley Cooper (The Hangover, Yes Man) will take the role of ladies man, Lt. Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck. No word yet on who’ll play the batshit insane Capt. Murdock and the team’s badass strongman Sgt. B.A. Baracus. Production set to start in August so I’d imagine the news will surface sooner or later.

What do you think of the cast so far? And which actors do you think should play the two remaining roles? Drop us a comment and let us know.
