Has THE A-TEAM Movie Finally Found B.A. Baracus??
Merrick here...
This is all a tad confusing.
Around a month ago, we learned that UFC's Quinton "Rampage" Jackson might well take the B.A. Baracus role in THE A-TEAM movie (directed by Joe Carnahan, produced by Ridley & Tony Scott). This is, of course, the role originated by Mr. T in Stephen J. Cannell's 1980s TV series.
Rampage's "people" promptly denied this casting, and that was the last we heard of that.
Until....
The Vancouver Sun now indicates that Rampage is in town and prepping to shoot THE A-TEAM.
Jackson has been removed from the UFC 107 card where he was set to face Sugar Rashad Evans in an Ultimate Fighter finale showdown, so he can appear in the film.
[EDIT]
The Sun has learned Rampage was in Vancouver on August 19 to discuss the role with producers and arrived in town Friday to prepare for filming.
...says The Vancouver Sun HERE.
It should be noted that Rampage as Baracus has yet to be officially confirmed, but there are many reasons a formal announcement might be delayed (lack of "official word" doesn't necessarily make this report inaccurate).
Liam Neeson has already been cast as Hannibal (George Peppard in the series), and Bradley Cooper will take on Dirk Benedict's "Face" persona.
Here's Rampage:
Huh. I could so take him...

been out there for a week now
-
Jackson was my second choice.
-
There's a chain around his neck. That's like how Mr. T had chains around HIS neck. The picture is successfully connecting the two personas.
-
True story, a guy just standing on the side of the FDR, no shirt on, holding a big-ass log in front of some graffiti that said "CRACK IS WHACK!" Indeed!
-
He still looks pretty much the same as he did 20 years ago....
-
I mean, c'mon! http://tinyurl.com/nkzyp4
-
With Neeson as Hannibal is an interesting project
-
Bradley Cooper didn't want any kind of role in this flick? And why do producers think a non-actor acting is better then picking a real life actor? Time'll tell on Rampage
-
You're not paying anything for the advertising space and they are high impact. Next week's episode of Mad Man should totally feature an ad campaign on a boulder.
-
Instead, a ressler (sic).
-
He's definitely got the look. And chain.
-
I could be wrong
-
Glare hard.
Ooooooh, me getting scared. -
To make it not just super-cheese. yeah we all loved the show when we were 8, but have you seen it recently? It's pretty ludicrous. This guy does look like a fricken' badass, so that's a good start. I also really like Liam Neeson and that bradley guy is ok. I guess I'll have to see a trailer before I can completely write it off as unneccesary dreck.
-
FUCK!
-
The A-Team on the bigscreen? The only way this will fail will be if they cast a Wayans brother in there somewhere. Gary Busey for Murdoch!

Damn you guys are late. The Game (The rapper) was cast In this thing as well. This should be an easy role for this Big Mother---all he have to do is stand there and look well how he looks right now and say "I PITY THE FOOL!"
-
Please say seriously. THE FUGIVE. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. That's how to do it. Not like STARSKY AND HUTCH or CHARLIE'S ANGELS, which are films that, a few months after they have come out, everyone realises stink of horse cock.
-
Just another fool to pity.
-
At the time, Mr. T seemed to be in on the joke, plus he spent most of his off-hours hanging out doing photoshoots with Nancy Reagan and Gary Coleman. A-Team doesn't need a badass, it needs an epically super-ridiculous badass with a heart of gold. Joe Carnahan LOL.
-
Maybe this will be fun, who knows...I just know I've seen enough movie adaptations of mediocre old tv shows to last a lifetime. Can't Hollywood institute some sort of 5 year moratorium on this practice?
-
He's a massive, mean looking dude.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0187719/ -
I remember watching A-Team as a kid. It was a refreshing change from the limp-noodle preachy "relevant" programming all over the tube in those days. It was just plain blowout kickass rampaging fun. I especially liked Mad Dog. Cracked me up. Hope this'll be fun too. I haven't seen a really good popcorn movie in like 2 years, and I'm ready.

I just hope Carnahan won't forget to make it PG 13 fun.
by derlanghaarige
Because serious and R is not the A-Team.
-
Hannibal? Really? Either he's taken on this project out of nostalgia (i.e. the same reason the rest of us will watch this) or he's slumming it for some extra cash. Either way, he doesn't seem a natural fit for this kind of material: i'm not saying he doesn't have a sense of humour, but the closest thing he's played to funny are the scenes he did with Jar Jar Binks.
-
...and it's NOT the father of the hot chick who is hiring the A-Team and becomes Face's love interest of the week, it's not the A-Team anymore.
-
Sep 08, 2009 11:10:53 AM CDT
Seriously, for such a simple material like The A-Team...
by derlanghaarige
...there are a million ways to make it wrong!
-
I guess if Joan Allen can cash a paycheck for Death Race, Neeson can do it for this encrusted turn-in-the-making. And Rampage as BA will be terrible - I could barely understand what he was saying as a coach on TUF, and he was speaking English!
-
he even shaved his head into a Jew-hawk to show he's commited to the rolecome on hollywood give him a chance
-
Met him at an MMA event in Japan, he is biggish , but imagined BA to be bigger.
-
however, i have to believe the producers of this movie thought of him also (especially if they went with another UFC fighter) so perhaps the guy can't act?
-
Half his act was heavily borrowed from Dwight Schultz anyway.
-
because he was so good in pineapple express.
-
But he's really big, and black, and can talk really tough, so obviously he's got the part. Good for him. This will be interesting.
-
this is random, but..have you ever gone to another country's airport (for us americans here) and see the guards with the big machine guns standing around? even though I havent done anything, it gives me an uneasy feeling to be around something that destroy my life so easily. i think i would feel that way if i was in a bar and either kimbo slice or brock lesnar walked in.
-
Mr. T 5ft 11 in. 220pds.
Rampage 6ft 1in. 210pds.
Plus, Mr. T was discovered in a reality show 'America's Toughest Bouncers'. Rampage, in the UFC, which is kinda like the same thing...
This is pretty good casting if you ask me... -
has my money!
-
They're going to need trampolines, about a hundred stuntmen and a shitload of explosives.
-
Steve Carrell as Hannibal, Paul Rudd as Face, Michael Cera as Murdoch and a blackface Seth Rogen as B.A.
-
i think rampage is the perfect choice for b.a.
-
I hear he needs a job.
-
and I want it NOW!!!
-
He pretty much looks the same, just make him loose some weight and keep his shirt on.
-
Dana White will surely post a video blog shitting on Hollywood if he can't cash in on it.
-
He is a funny motherfucka. Youtube some of his interviews and his post fight stuff. The guy is very charismatic and is definitely in on the joke. I think if Carnahan keeps most of the fun but shoots it like he shot Narc and Smokin Aces...we might have a sleeper on our hands. Ridley and Tony Scott not to far behind guarantees this to be a great action flic.
Sam Rockwell/Will Arnett for Murdoch and I'm in. -
I am sick of casting with all the white parts played by actors, and the black part played by an athlete or rapper. Acting is a discipline, requiring years of training to learn how to reveal an inner truth, often in conflict with outer actions or words. By casting young men who cannot do that, they appear without inner life, are nothing but the outer personae. A few rappers and athletes have actually developed or revealed some actual skill--but please note the relative experience of the different cast members, and grasp how it feels. I cannot remember a single film where the SOLE white actor was a singer or an athlete...and unless you are aware that you cannot point to one, I doubt you can grasp how dehumanizing this is.
-
And that's Mr. T.
Rampage should play relative who carries the same moniker. -
Mick Foley as Murdock. Or Brittany Murphy. She can play crazy real well, and it'll give us girls someone we can relate to. But seriously, BA is held up pretty high, and I think they need to cast accordingly.
-
Where the A Team van gets blown up inside a cave and the A team are stuck inside the cave. The peices of the van are the side of a piece of paper.
Next thing you know, they play the ATeam music and they rebuild a whole vechicle out of these blown up parts and burrow out of the cave.
Doesn't get much worse than that folks. I bet as a kid I thought it was "Awesome"! -
I say there, chap. I do quite pity the fool.
-
Morgan Freeman as Fred...Terence Howard as Lamont. I'd see it.
-
And you know what.... that sucks! Look, if the movie is any good then people will get to know Rampage and probably attract more people to the UFC. But.... the UFC has to be pissed. A whole season of the Ultimate FIgheter build up to a fight next year. Sucks.
-
Rampage is one of the coaches on this season of the Ultimate Fighter. Actually, watch at 8pm for new free fights. Peace.
-
cause Carnahan and the Ridley's are known for their camp and humor. Lets not be crazy. Murdoch's casting should be very telling on the tone of the movie. If it is a comedian it might be a bit lighter but if they just make him a serious actor playing a lunatic you know it will clobberin time. Personally I would like to see Nick Swardson or Daniel Tosh fuck shit up. Plus B.A. should have been Fity Cent.
-
Sanford and Son the movie would be up for an oscar.
I can see the trailer now.
"From the people that brought you Benjamin Buttons and The Green Mile comes Sanford and Son.... The movie." -
With Randy Couture in the Expendables, Chuck Liddel on Dancing with the Stars, and now this guy as BA, UFC is going MAINSTREAM!
UFC (and modern MMA in general) sucks ass. Gone are the days of Shamrock and Gracie. Now UFC is just a fight club for white trash. -
Got milk?
-
White trash? CHECK
Tattoos? CHECK
Mo-Hawk (Fau-Hawk)? CHECK
Willingness to prostitute your upper body as ad-space? CHECK
Welcome to the UFC! Here's a championship! -
He kicked ass. I think they should do another 2 or 3 Taken movies with his character. Keep the theme that he's in a race against time because his daughter's virginity is imperil though. Just find ever more bizarre reasons for her to be kidnapped. I want to see Neeson jump onto a luxury yacht on a motorcycle while wielding a sabre and slice the bad guy's dick off just as it's about to penetrate his beloved teen daughter's. "Not now," he'll cry, "she's not ready yet!" Oh, and in every movie she needs to have a slutty friend who gets raped and killed and nobody seems to give a shit. "That girl probably already had sex," Neeson will say, "no use saving her now."
-
"Gone are the days of Shamrock"
good, shamrock was a pussy. that guy was all hype -

WRONG!! TERRY CREWS IS THE ONLY MAN FOR THE JOB. ALSO...
by the_genteel_gentile
This Rampage business will NOT be getting it done. It's quite apparent Joe Carnahan has never even SEEN A-Team. If he had, he'd know Terry Crews is the only human being with the right build, voice, comic timing, and acting ability to do B.A. justice. Crews is actually a legit UPGRADE on Mr. T! Carnahan should also know Liam Neeson shares none of the pridefully vain chameleon-easqe, aspiring actor, easy brezzy, aw shucks charm of Hannabal Smith. Liam Neeson would make much more sense as Decker, their pursuer. Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner, George Clooney or Bruce Willis are the type of guys who would "love it when a plan comes together" as they wryly chomp on a cigar. NOT Liam Neeson. I don't have a problem with Bradley Cooper, however I'd have gone with Chris Evans. But I dread the casting of Murdock, this entire debacle is begining to rank something pungent. I sense out-and-out doom permeating evry aspect of this project. I say scrap it altogether, then resurrect it a few months down the line as an Antoine Fuqua, John McTiernan or Peter Berg project. And get the cast RIGHT this time!
-
I believe Rampage plays the Guardian Angel that yells at Vinnie Jones on the subway and compares him to Forrest Gump. That was my favorite scene. I think if this is true he's a great choice. The stupid thing to do would be to get a "real actor" to replace Mr. T, a bodyguard turned "actor."
Bradley Cooper also was in MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN. Liam Neeson was only in it in spirit. -
Whoever they get for Murdoch, they have to fit that line in somewhere.
-
..let's just use wrestlers and janitors!
-
is one of the worst movies I've seen lately (actually, I saw it last year) Still sucked though.. awful, awful stuff.
-
...or even, as has been suggested, Mr. T.
-
Good thing that didn't happen.
-
Should be played by Will Arnette
-
Sep 08, 2009 1:21:55 PM CDT
I'm won't waste my Murdock pick on this travesty!
by the_genteel_gentile
I usually throw diamonds out there for studios to pick up and polish, but why blow my load on this big floater? It'd be pearls before swine obviously. Nope, I can't support this project without Terry Crews.
-
He should play Luke Cage opposite Ray Parks in Iron-Fist. Powerman/Iron-fist, hell yeah. Bullet proof skin and a fist not unto like iron. My marvel seventies and eighties jones is on full alert. Get them involved in a plot with Magnus (the earthquake guy) and you have a plot so retro that it cannot possibly fail.
-
Lecter, maybe.
-
Then I'll be seeing this film. Hopefully they go serious with this one.
-
not Dave.
-
Reginald VelJohnson.
-
Iggy Pop.
-
but will he have the mohawk and the gold?
-
Those Luke Cage chains in the first pic
-
Aside from the obvious thought that there's really no reason to remake the A-Team, I thought Michael Jai White - sorry, MJW - would be pretty cool as B.A.
-
What about Bob Sapp? He would be great. He has acted before (Electra, Longest Yard and Big Stan). He's fun, Big and Scary...He's perfect!
-
Does anybody got the balls to give him a script??
-
How has Ving Rhames slipped through the radar with all the fans? He would be perfect for the role.
-
I think he would have been great for the role.
-
All he has to do is look mean, which he can def do!
-
Sam Rockwell as Hannibal...
Kimbo Slice as B.A. Baracus...
Bradley Cooper as "Face" Whatever...
& Jim Carrey as Murdoch...
PERIOD! -
He could go full-on Yossarian with the character.
-
fuck jim carey! that douche is the new robin williams.
and kimbo slice sucks. all hype -
Rampage is a good fighter and has great showmanship. He seems like he has a good personality and an all round fun guy to be around. From his color commentary and announcing work, you can tell he's totally playing up his tough guy persona. As for Kimbo Slice, what a fucking joke. He's got great ghetto PR, that's it. He's just a clown with a handicam who posted some internet videos of backyard "street fights", and instantly whiny ass punks who know nothing about the sport of mma, go around calling him the greatest. It's so sad to see legimate rising talents like Brett Rogers getting less attention and praise than this old guy who will won't last one round with your less than average mma fighter. He is a novelty act and a curiousity, nothing more, and that's the only reason the UFC created season 10 of the ultimate fighter with him in mind. If he ends up winning it will be because they stacked up the competition with nobodies. The first time he fights in a UFC event he will get knocked and will quietly retire from the sport.
-
Edward James Olmos - Hannibal
Jamie Bamber - Face
Michael Hogan - B.A.
Katee Sackhoff - Murdock -
because Rampage Jackson is 100% as strange and bizarre as Mr T, he's the only one that can pull it off naturally.
-
Ever see The Haunting? THAT was slumming. At least this could be fun. Just don't do a Charlies Angels on this Joe.
-
Sam Rockwell was a good call, as was Will Arnette. Of course, you could go for batshit crazy and get Crispin Glover.
-
George Clooney as Hannibal
Mark Wahlberg as Face
Ice Cube as B.A.
Spike Jonze as Murdock -
His Jack Sparrow is similar to Murdoch. But personally, I feel Depp is over exposed right now. RDJ will be a reasonable choice (think tropic thunder) but he's too old for the part. We need somebody younger to get on BA's nerves. Shia is just too plain annoying. If Zac Efron can make himself look a bit dirty, I think he can do it. Think "17 again".
-
FOOL!!!
-
between the cast,and how the actors were having big fun with their roles.u could make u believe that they were indead a TEAM.
and that makes me believe that the movie adaptation of the series,is a very difficult project .the difficult part isnt if the cast is suitable for the characters,or the script is good,the difficult part is if the director is able to understand what made A-team such a great tvseries,and transfer that into his movie.
he must be skilled enough to make his actors have fun with their roles and become friends together,so they can feel,not just act,as a real TEAM in the film. -
and not a stupid Starsky and Hutch-type parody.
-
newspapers of the Great Satan Canada.
-
get some nuts. brilliant. i pity the poor fool who messes with the real mr t.
-
canada has been planning our downfall for decades. i don't trust them...
-
make him look like he is in an all male revue. Fuckin gay. "Mr. T had chains so wear this. It's not gold but it will have to do." Wrong. Mr.T was a real life character that effortlessly moved onto the screen because it was who he was. You can't recreate it. It was a time and a place. The worst thing they can try and do is create another Mr.T. Impossible. Can't do it. Don't try. Curtis "50cent" Jackson.
-
I don't even know what that means, nor does anyone care.
-
Sep 08, 2009 4:21:23 PM CDT
Why not cast a white guy like Brock Lesnar or Peter Sarsgaard?
by mr. waturi
Does B.A. have to be black?
-
How about Tom Hanks?
-
Someone had to say it.
-
I pity the fool with apple bottom jeans and boots with the furrr... I hope this guy doesn't suck ass. Anyone care to name a UFC fighter who has successfully made the crossover to acting?

You are right my brother. Canada is populated by the descendants of Tories. Who were the Tories British loyalists during the American Revolution. When Britain lost the war the Tories left the thirteen colonies for Canada. They have been plotting our destruction ever since.
From Wikipedia:
The vast majority of the white Loyalists (450-500,000) remained in America during and after the war. Starting in the mid-1780s a small percentage of those who had left returned to the United States.
During and following the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1783, Loyalists (especially soldiers and former officials) could choose evacuation. Loyalists whose roots were not yet deeply embedded in the New World were more likely to leave; older men who had familial bonds and had acquired friends, property, and a degree of social respectability were more likely to remain in America.[20]
About 10-15 percent of the Loyalists left, an estimated white 62,000 Loyalists, or about 2 percent of the total American population of 3 million in 1783. The figure of 100,000 Loyalists is often given for the number who actually went into exile, but this is more of guesstimate that could be regarded as somewhat accurate if Indian and Black Loyalists and emigrants to Canada from the USA from 1783-1800 are included. Many of these latter emigrants were motivated by the desire to take advantage of the British government's offer of free land, but many also were disillusioned by the continuing hostility to Tories and eventually decided to leave the new Republic.
About 46,000 went to British North America (present-day Canada). Of these 34,000 went to Nova Scotia, 2,000 to P.E.I. and 10,000 to Ontario. 7,000 went to Great Britain and 9,000 to the Bahamas and British colonies in the Caribbean.[21] The 34,000 went to Nova Scotia, where they were not well received by the Nova Scotians who were mostly descendants of New Englanders settled there before the Revolution, so the colony of New Brunswick, until 1784 part of Nova Scotia, was created for the 14,000 who had settled in those parts. Of the 46,000 who went to Canada, 10,000 went to Canada proper, especially the Eastern Townships of Quebec and modern-day Ontario. The Haldimand Collection is the main source for historians in the study of American Loyalists settlement in Canada.
Realizing the importance of some type of consideration, on November 9 1789, Lord Dorchester, the governor of Quebec, declared that it was his wish to "put the mark of Honour upon the Families who had adhered to the Unity of the Empire." As a result of Dorchester's statement, the printed militia rolls carried the notation:
Those Loyalists who have adhered to the Unity of the Empire, and joined the Royal Standard before the Treaty of Separation in the year 1783, and all their Children and their Descendants by either sex, are to be distinguished by the following Capitals, affixed to their names: U.E. Alluding to their great principle The Unity of the Empire.
The postnominals "U.E." are rarely seen today, but the influence of the Loyalists on the evolution of Canada remains. Their ties to Britain and their antipathy to the United States provided the strength needed to keep Canada independent and distinct in North America. The Loyalists' basic distrust of republicanism and "mob rule" influenced Canada's gradual path to independence. In effect, the new British North American provinces of Upper Canada (the forerunner of Ontario) and New Brunswick were founded as places of refuge for the United Empire Loyalists.
The wealthiest and most prominent Loyalist exiles went to Great Britain to rebuild their careers; many received pensions. Many Southern Loyalists, taking along their slaves, went to the West Indies and the Bahamas, particularly to the Abaco Islands.
Many Loyalists brought their slaves with them to Canada (mostly to areas that later became Ontario and New Brunswick)where slavery was legal. An imperial law in 1790 assured prospective immigrants to Canada that their slaves would remain their property. However some black Loyalists were free and they arrived too.[22]
Thousands of Iroquois and other Native Americans were expelled from New York and other states and resettled in Canada. The descendants of one such group of Iroquois, led by Joseph Brant Thayendenegea, settled at Six Nations of the Grand River, the largest First Nations reserve in Canada. A group of Black Loyalists settled in Nova Scotia but emigrated again for Sierra Leone after facing discrimination there.
Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) was a loyalist who fled to London when the War began. He became a scientist noted for pioneering thermodynamics and for his research on artillery ordnance. He expressed a desire to return to the United States in 1799 and was eagerly sought by the Americans (who needed help in fighting the Quasi-War with France). Rumford eventually decided to stay in London because he was engrossed with establishing the Royal Institution in England.[23]
Many of the Loyalists were forced to abandon substantial amounts of property, and restoration of or compensation for this lost property was a major issue during the negotiation of the Jay Treaty in 1795.
FIFTY - FOUR FORTY OR FIGHT!!!! -
Please make it so.
-
Hells yes!
-
What a stunner.
-
C'mon now.
-
Nothin better.
-
You made me spit out my Frosted Flakes. Well done, sir.
-
I haven't heard anybody listed as Murdoch, though Jim Carrey looks like Dwight Schultz did back in the day.
-
Just don't change the van or the soundtrack.
-
That means the buzz on this movie will be much bigger now that Rampage is in it. You won't need any stunt doubles for this guy during any fighting scenes.
-
My best friend works for an agency in LA. His co worker in the office is the screenwriter's girlfriend and this was confirmed through that agency....they end...Merrick, how is any of this a "tad confusing" sit down before you fall down
-
Reginald Veljohnson is the funniest choice I've seen on here
-
Don't know who played him in the Reebok commercials, but he was funny as shit, and built like the proverbial brick shit-house."YOU KILL THE JOE, YOU MAKE SOME MOE!"
-
I cant believe they went with Rampage Jackson... Can you imagine what a respectable actor like Liam Neeson is thinking? I was hoping for Ice Cube or Terry Crews, FUCKING DUMB CHOICE!!!
-
I'll give Rampage A Chance. I Found Out That some of the UFC Fighters are actually Actors, and they're Pretty Good.
FYI, I Watch WWE. YES, I Know its Fake. I Didn't Watch it for Years until they decided to have Celebrity Guest Hosts, which is Really Fun. And Every Now and Then, They have Some Real Elements -
He's the first one that came to mind when I read the title, before I even saw others mention him in the talkback. That means he is the obvious choice! Kimbo is more famous than most fighters.
-
That show was right up there with the A-team. I want to see the Lloyd Braun guy star as Professor Chase--as long as he is paraplegic and the movie features Sasquatch. But I wonder if the animal he turned into would also be paraplegic? That would be a downer.
-
Not sure if Mr T has a spotless record or not but Rampage is an ex-con right in real life? Mr T was great for kids.
-
Why the fuck not, right? If a dog killer can play football. A dog killer might as well act.
-
On par with the Fall Guy, T.J. Hooker and Fantasy Island. All of these are extremely dated and we will feel it about 10 minutes into the running time of the movie. Remember Miami Vice? Not even Michael Mann could stop that from feeling dated. And let's face it: Carnahan is no Mann.
-
Isn't this the show where every week guys with machine guns fired off about four thousand rounds but NO ONE ever got HIT BY A BULLET?
-
Because that's what's truly great about The A-Team.
-
That man could outintimidate Mr. T. himself (and that's not the sort of thing I'd say lightly)
-
Can you dig it?Bruce Campbell as Agent Maxwell would be genius.
-
I would like to see the guy who portrayed Miggs in Silence of the Lambs cast as Murdoch. But instead of calling the character Murdoch, let's just go ahead and change the name to Miggs.
-
Neesons awesome and he was Darkman so I;kk wait to see him, I used to want Mel, Bruce or Harvey Keitel for Hannibal. Wish Peppard was still kicking. Maybe get Leslie Neilson to be "serious" again.

I'll say it, though this flick doesn't deserve it. MURDOCK IS...
by the_genteel_gentile
I promised I wouldn't throw more pearls before swine, but I just can't help myself. Y'all ready for this? Inhale. THREE... TWO... Exhale. ONE... Deep breath. Now dig on this! Cliftin Collins Jr. BOOM! You know I'm right. Go ahead, chew on it for a moment. Yep, I told you so. But not for this crap flick that's already cast everything else wrong, NO! If the Scott's wanna fire Carnahan, Neeson, Cooper and Rampage and replace them with Fuqua, Gibson, Evans and Crews...then, THEN I'd want Clifton Collins Jr. in this. As it stands now, this project deserves Dane Cook. Pathetic.

Funny, Badass, can actually act and all-round awesome. Deserves his big breakthrough. Now!

Sorry 'bout that CliftOn. Where the devil's my edit feature already?
-
perfect dream casting choices. It'll never happen but you nailed it.
-
It always seemed to me he tried to imitate T with his facial expressions. It's not cool, that Rampage is Mr T. If you needed a fighter anyway Kimbo Slice would have been a better choice.
-
That would make my day.
-
but i think it will become a hit.even the abominable dukes of hazzard became one.
-
FOOLS
-
Between Joe Carnahan, Liam and Cooper, this could actually be good.
-
great choice there laserhead
-
is currently on demand on Comcast.This movie is probably gonna suck as well. I liked the A-team, but as long as the remake bastards keep their hands off the Six-Million Dollar Man, I'll be ok with it.
-
Too bad Leslie Nielsen hasn't been up for serious since his 80th birthday 90 years ago.

Lmao. Yeah, I'm hoping for him too. To be ran over by a steam roller. Let's see him to do his awkward shtick when he's a pancake, yeah?!

Was hoping for Martin Lawrence the leader of black people.

"Whatchoo talkin' bout, Murdoch?"
-
Kevin Grevioux (that big Mo-Fo from the Underworld movies) would be the most convincing BA. He's freakin' huge. He is one guy who would be convincing doing the Mr. T "you hit me and it didn't hurt or nuthin'" move. And he's HUGE...dwarfs that tub Ice Cube (who I like as an actor but in NO WAY is he BA)
-
I'm a fan of his, but he's all wrong for this part. I feel bad for him for what happened to his wife. Maybe he feels that working will help to take his mind off it, but aren't there better scripts he's offered? Why not do the Abe Lincoln biopic w/Spielberg?
-
they're also making the tv show - it's called BURN NOTICE
-
"I'm puttin the word out....500 for the motherf%^&&* that put the roofie in my milk to knock me out and put me on that plane....a million alive so I can teach him so manners first!"
-
Go Rampage!
-
Rampage is the real deal.
-
"I pity the muthafuckin fool who try to put me on the muthafucking Plane".
-
It shouldn't take that big a budget to make something like this.And I'm sure Ray would work for cheap.unfortunetely, Marvel is mostly focused on AAA/1st rate Characters so the next best thing would be playing them in the upcoming Marvel Ultimate alliance 2 game I guess. :/
-
...but can he act? I still say the black gangsta boss from DARK KNIGHT would have been perfect.
-
That's all there is to say.
Does NO ONE have the scoop on why the Scotts and/or Carnahan don't want to use him? -
Has ugly chest hair, a huge outtie belly button and jacked up baked bean teeth. He looks homeless.
Rampage has the look and the personality. -

Kimbo Slice is shy and doesn't know what to say to the camera
by brosefulae
Rampage is extremely witty and charismatic. That was the entire reason he landed this role.
Also, he's bigger than Mr. T. Mr T is only 6'1"
-
STFU, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.
Shamrock? The roid head glamour boy who made B movies and became a pro wrestler? He's not a sell out?
While I respect Royce for what he accomplished, he's been irrelevant and surpassed since Sakuraba broke his leg and daddy threw in the towel 9 years ago.
The UFC is amazing, and the champions are bad ass. Hell, the middle wt champ beat the shit out of Matt Hughes(2 x), who beat the shit out of Royce just 3 years ago.
Don't act like you know something.

@Liam Neeson, Natasha Richardson is not coming back!

LMFAO, wrong but so right.

Michael Jai White is a baddass and all, but he's built like a short stocky running back. BA should be taller and more physically imposing, like a defensive end. Too bad Ving Rhames is a bit too old. B.A. works better as a big and forceful dude as opposed to an agile martial artist. I remember as a kid thinking the fight scene in the pilot was cool as shit where Hannibal is in an old saloon with the bad guys and BA busts in like the muthafuckin Hulk and fights a huge Mexican henchman. Oh, and Paul Giamatti would be a cool Murdoch.
-
clarify me something in that pilot.did BA loose on purpose from the mexican guy,following hannibals plan? or he truly lost? i found it a bit weird to lose his first fight,in the first episode like that.
-
Because his ass got arrested in Orange County earlier this year. Tried to run over a couple of cars and started speeding down Newport Blvd the wrong way. Mr. T would never do something like that!
-
I remember me and all my friends laughing at that because it sounded like a porno. And they announced in the movie theater with a serious voice.
-
TRUE.
-
Should have got it, that guy is under rated.
-
If he wanna play Mr. T's role, then he seriously needs a Mohawk!
-
That's what CHUD says.

The Copley rumor about A-Team seems credible. In a South African radio interview a couple weeks ago, he said his next film would be filmed in Vancouver, for summer release, and that he would not be using a South African accent in the film.
Anyone who's seen the short movie "Hellweek" where he played an American drill sargeant knows he can certainly handle the part of Murdock. -
Copley said he was in negotiations for it.
-
Copley is not a member of the Screen Actors Guild, and possibly any delay in announcing a deal has to do with the logistics of him joining SAG.
-
Or was The A-Team a big pile of shit??
Quit with the fuckin remakes you no imagination havin cunts....
