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.

“Clash of the Titans”

Yes another remake, but this time a classic that needed one.

It’s based on the Greek myth of Perseus, the son of Zeus and a mortal. He goes on a legendary journey, to stop Hades from seizing power from Zeus, and unleashing hell on earth. On his journey defeating the Gorgon Medusa and riding a winged horse.

I remember watching the 1981 classic as a kid (still shown on TCM), with Harry Hamlin in the title role, and being amazed at the special effects. The winged horse, the gorgon, the skeleton army….fantastic stuff. Now however it’s dated and the acting is cringe inducing.

Enter Louis Leterrier, the director who helped reboot the Hulk, with his re-imagining of this classic. This time, with Sam “I’m the next action hero” Worthington playing Perseus; Liam Neeson, and Ralph Fiennes are also onboard playing mighty Zeus and Hades respectively. If Louis’ previous films, The Transporter 1 & 2, The Incredible Hulk, are anything to go by he knows how to direct action films. And if the trailer is anything to go by, this is definitely an action film. The big plus for me, it has a great cast and newcomer Worthington has shown he can act while kicking ass.

Clash of the Titans is set for international release on 26 March 2010.

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.
