[Trailer] The A-Team

[EricNoah]

Mmmm .... I don't think so.

 

[Crothian]

I think so! Opening day!

Are you serious? That shot made the trailer for me. It just screams A-Team.

Yes, it's ridiculous and over the top, but that's what it's supposed to be.

It's about commitment. Commitment that's utterly devoid of chagrin.

For a long time folks thought that when you were presenting an audience with an outlandish premise, you had to go the Adam West Batman route: wink at the audience constantly, play it all up as camp, act like it's all a big shared joke.

Now Hollywood seems to be getting it. Don't smirk. Keep a straight face. Move fast, be cool, and people will have trouble making fun of you even when you're doing something outlandish.

Add me to the list of crazies. Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's that the trailer was so ludicrously awesome, I don't know. I am totally seeing this.

I think it's just hard to have someone play the same role that Mr T did. Mr T was an original who was over-the-top. Having someone play a copy of him just feels... well second-hand.

There was a rumor that actor/rapper IceCube was going for the part of B.A. I think he would have fit the bill better IMO. Not a far stretch from the movie XXX: State of the Union

But... XXX:SotU was one of the most foul travesties ever put on film.

I like Ice Cube in some roles, but frankly, I'm glad he's nowhere near this movie.

As long as the movie has a hotair balloon escape engineered from hair dryers, garbage bags, lawn chairs, and duct tape, I'll be happy.

For me, the tough one is going to be filling Dwight Schultz's shoes.

I think all 4 of the original A-Team actors were pretty much perfect for their roles. It's going to be tough for the movie actors to get the characters and the group chemistry right.

Edit- I should mention I mean the 4 actors that made the original series. I'm glad they recast the role of Face after the pilot episode because Tim Dunigan didn't work.
