Has THE A-TEAM Movie Finally Found B.A. Baracus??

Published at:  Sep 08, 2009 11:00:11 AM CDT


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...

    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.

    For Those Who Don't Know Rampage

    by kenjinattix

    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.

    Rampage

    by hipshot

    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.

    by macready452

    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.

    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."

    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!

    by vern

    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.

    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.

    Good casting!

    by aliendragqueen

    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.

    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".

    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.

    Nerd_Rage_Retard_Strength

    by inactionman

    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.

    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.

    Ice Cube is Mr T

    by toby_fn_wong

    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.

    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?

    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. :/

    Rampage is extremely witty and charismatic. That was the entire reason he landed this role.

    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.

    "I love it when a cast comes together."

    by banditdarville

    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.

    Copley rumor is credible

    by martisco

    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 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.
