Will Mr. T Appear in THE A-TEAM Movie??
Merrick here...
Many fans of the original A-TEAM have been wondering whether any of the original cast would cameo in Joe Carnahan's new big-screen adaptation. We now have an answer regarding the most iconic of the original gang: Mr. T.
LR asked Mr. T directly. His response? He won't be in the film.
He said it wasn't about money, because he turned down the chance to appear in the film before that was even discussed. He said it just wouldn't be right for him to be in it. If his B.A. isn't the main guy, then why do it? What's wrong with the film that they need him to make a cameo? Plus they would market the film with him being in it, and he didn't want his friends and family to think he would have some big role when he wouldn't. He told me he has nothing against the cast or even the fact that they're doing a remake. But a cameo is just something he wasn't interested in. He said he's very happy with his life right now and enjoys giving back to the community.
...says Latino Review HERE.
The Ridley and Tony Scott produced film will hit theaters this June.

yeaah

Who is excited for this movie. Sorry to say

he wont cameo on this but he will do stupid WoW commercials?
-
If any of the original cast is to cameo, T would have to be the one... bummer.

Dirk Bennedict should play New Faces Dad in parr 2
by beyondthunderdome2girls1cupbillcosby
-
He has a large presence, so being in the film while some other actor tries to mimick him would detract from the film and make the audience realize that the real B.A. is far better than his replacement. No need for a lame torch-passing cameo.
-
I kind of respect that crazy mowhawked bastard just a little bit more now. Thats a surprisingly well-thought out answer that makes a lot of sense.
-
Whoda thunk it???
-
He does have character.
-
That was a graceful way to turn them fools down.
-
We live in a world where Mr. T is the rare class act.
-
And he's probably paid an ton for his World of Warcraft bits (that game is a monster cash machine), so why wouldn't he be happy with his life right now?
-
...THAT TRIES TO PRY HIM AWAY FROM PLAYING WOW.
-
and I think that was a big mistake. This, however, wasn't.
-
Perhaps they should drug him and get him on the set that way?

this isn't the whole story, Mr T is spinning it for publicity
by jettl93
Fox was demanding several cast members from the orginal TV show appear, but the producers veto'd this and rejected it. Mr T wasn't even asked, he's just issuing this statment to appear like it was his choice not to be in it, even though it was the filmmakers choice not to throw in random cameos of the old TV show
-
...facial haired, gold encrusted burly black dudes could there be in any given town?
-
If the producers didn't want cameos then why are Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz making cameos in this movie?
-
A: if you answered Mr. T you are correct and win a pony
-
Pain.
-
Rewrite the script to feature him as a prominent supporting character hiding out in a cave somewhere until it's necessary for him to show up and move the plot along.
-
this was a rumour, FOX wanted all living cast members to appear and at first it was going to happen, but the people actually making the film decided it really cheapend the movie and just decided to do a straight forward re-imagining of the concept. I've read the script and unless something changed since then, no one from the orginal television show will appear in this movie
-
Specially with the van they use being the same late 70's/early 80's model.
It could have easily been something that father Baracus gave young B.A. on his return from active duty as a present or something.
A cherished family hairloom of ass kicking.
-
...and I'll show you what a REAL B.A. Baracus is like!"
I love Rocky III!! -
...FOOL!" :-)
-
...only lightening the thing up, and replacing Farrell with Josh Holloway.

He is

I pity the fool who snubs Mr. T!

He's busy working with the "Oscers" on a Brittany Murphy tribute. Yes, he spelled it "Oscers". And yes, he actually posted that he was working with them on a Brittany Murphy tribute. They don't even DO individual tributes to the deceased, and he posts that they're doing one for BRITTANY MURPHY! (shakes head)

Hey, Guys...

JettL93 is a liar. Period. He's never e-mailed me any of his fabled information, and he doesn't respond when I e-mailed the address he used to register for talkback. When asked to prove anything, he's unable, and I've dealt with enough internet liars over the years to know certain tricks they pull as they troll.
JettL93 reads rumors in other places. He adds his own made up information to the rumors, to give them just enough of a hint of the truth to be credible. But he's wrong about the big stuff. Anything you've only read from him, discount it.
I have verified and reverified the INDY 4 stuff I know so far, and JettL93 doesn't check out. At all. I've been fairly gentle about this with him so far, but I'm not remotely confused about this, and considering how many of you are e-mailing me about the situation, I can tell that it's important to you.
He's a liar. He has been trolling you. I understand that some of you enjoyed it, because it generated INDY 4 speculation that you were able to participate in. By all means, keep it up. Be encouraged by speculation and rumors and whatever. I don't think this article today is accurate, either, because it doesn't match what we know already. Quint addresses that a bit at the bottom... that we're at the point in development where we always see people start to go batshit with insane stories about films that just aren't true. There are a LOT of conflicting rumors floating around about INDY 4, and I'm sure that's just the way Lucasfilm and Paramount likes it. PS - I know this was up, then I deleted it, and now it's back up... I just made an important typo, so wanted to clarify it, so there's no confusion. -

It's actually pretty funny that people get riled up about JettL9
by slone13
Honestly, how old are you people? Is this your first message board? JettL93's actually kind of humorous. His dedication to a bit is laudable.
-
yeah, now the moneys flowing in the right direction
-
That's all you need. And I wouldn't say that Nimoy was a cameo. A cameo is Stan Lee playing a hot dog vendor. Nimoy's role is, basically, the entire fucking reason the movie happens.
-
Is anyone actually going to die in this film or will they walk away from helicopter crashes like in the T.V series?
-
That's the last time I saw Mr T, on Conan helping out with their future prediqtions skit. He looked great. Nice to see him after all these years. There was this one joke where they said chuq norris and mr t went in a bar and it exploded beqause no place can handled that much awesomeness, always made me smile thinqing of that.
-
At least he has paid some acting dues over the years, although I hope rampage does a decent job for the fliq's sake.
-
Not like I'm the only one who ever made that mistake, and I won't be the last.
-
He is smart and clever and knows what he's doing. All these crappy remakes, make me sick. Without Mr. T there is no A-Team.
-
It needs to stop now. He's retarding the entire site. It's far more annoying than most of the angry insult filled posts from the few over-the-toppers.
-
Honestly...I dont care if this deep or not...just show me lots of explosions and car chases and Murdock being crazy...shit,Bay would have been an awesome choice of director for this. This may very well be the best/stupidest movie to come out in years...and I cant wait!!!
-
Where would they shoehorn him in? A security guard like Lou Ferigno in both Hulks (and the Stan Lee cameos are getting tired). These "hey look it's _____" type of cameos are getting distracting. And don't bring up Hitchcock. He/his direction was as big of a name as his stars.
-
shame he isn't playing himself.
-
"I ain't our Daddy, fool!"
-
His friends are too busy playing WoW to see the movie, anyway.
-
he's too busy being the Elfknightmo-hawk! Actually, I think the commercials are brilliant and its great to see Mr.T introduced to a new generation...probably smart of him to stay away from cameos too...
-
Jettl rocks. I think he's funny as hell. Anyone who takes him seriously is nuts. He takes credit for writing every movie. It's a bit, but it's a good bit. Keep up the good work Jettl and good work on making cameron go 3d with avatar.

I really wish he would make a cameo.
-
Making movies based on super old TV shows never seems to work like people hope. My Dad used to really like the Wolf in the Air of whatever about some musician who flew around in a helicopter. I watched an episode once and it was super bad with really bad effects. The A Team was out way before I was even born so i haven't seen it and maybe it's cool but these movies always seem to go the same way and just be boring and stuff or trying to be funny and instead be stupid.
-
originals in it would have destroyed the reality of it and would be just distracting while watching

Why does Mr. T think the movie revolves around his cameo?
by mrmysteryguest
He's not gonna be on the poster if someone else is playing B.A. Baracus! I pity you, Mr. T. I pity you immensely. You, and Terrence Howard!
-
only if he is the first person to be shot (in the history of the A-team) and dies almost immediately. "Buy World of WarCraft, sucka!"

Now if you could dig up Mori's post where he actually revealed Jett's identity, THAT'D be something.

Unlike the other characters, people would be looking at him sticking out like a sore thumb. Noones going to say that about Dirk Benedict...

Yeah, he's about as funny as thrush, and I ain't talking about the bird. What an absolute mong !

Mr. T could NOT make it for some schedule issue or something.
But he was going to be in the movie in the role that Max Kellerman (a douchebag) played.

Seriously,
I have nothing against Bradley Cooper's Hollywood climb, but fucking Sack Master ain't Dirk Benedict.
What the fuck! Seriously, SACK MASTER???? -
It was on yahoo maybe as long as a year ago & they tend to get stuff days after everyone else.
I know it's coming up to the new year etc, but it must be a really slow news week if you're digging stuff up you MUST have known ('cause everyone else did, but didn't wanna use when it was "news". -

The Surprising Similarities Between JettL93 & The A-Team
by soundtrackwhore
1. Both Jett and an A-Team movie are forgettable, hack works that will never amount to anything.
2. I would submit to dental surgery daily done by a blind man, rather than discuss the effect either topic will have on their respective areas.
3. Like the A-Team discussion, I wish our moderator would do the responsible thing and remove Jett from the board. I only log on here to see bonified, genuine discussions on good films. A-Team will lick balls, because the premise is stupid. Much like Jett's plan to become Director of Pointless AIC Dribble.
4. I have wasted hours reading about how we either hate or love this guy, and like the A-Team, figure I have already wasted too much time to waste another second. -
Night Elf MOHAWK!!! Ozzy too!
-
Fuck with Dirk Benedict's head

-
Well if he wrote The Dark Knight then he is either Jonathan Nolan, Christopher Nolan or David S. Goyer as per IMDB. My bet is that he's Goyer.
-
I can't believe you people are still debating the reality and veracity of Jettl93 and his stories.Don't you people know genius when you see it....Fuck, this is true performance art; and perhaps the best online performance art I've ever witnessed.Fucking Genius...

Fuck the A-Team...where is my The New Adventures of Gidget reboo

-
I have a sudden urge to see something co-starring Shatner and Mr. T.
-
thinking! Shat and T....in the SAME film? Fucking Genius! Thats a far more creative general casting suggestion than anything I've seen come out of Hollywood in ages.
-
The number of episodes that I watched of "The A Team": Zero. Even in my puny little mind back then this looked like complete crap. Matter of fact, I dont remember ANYBODY who watched it. Good Lord, the 70's had the WORST tv shows ever.
-
unfortunately not the guy on the inside with all the info, just some bitch with a warm mouth!
-
BOMB
-
gay homos who do homo shit to each other. Oh you don't get it? Well if you don't get it..I'm not gonna tell you. Why are you on an A-Team TB if you don't like the A-Team? Thanks for dropping in to act like a dickless fag. Why are you on AICN if you don't like to giggle at JettL's "scoops"? The high res Inception trailer TB is up a couple. Go act like your cool over there.
-
It's the A Team, but it's more like the D Team.
-
His Inception plot outline from the Inception trailer talkback is dead wrong.
-
That happened a looooooooooooooong time ago. The ironic thing is, this site became retarded before JettL93 showed up!
-
Get some nuts!!
-
the gen Y versions of 'Star Trek' or 'Sherlock Holmes'. This movie, unlike the other 2 movies, knows its heritage. I smell Academy Awards in the air.
-
Mr. T could've still played B.A.. He seriously is in great shape for his age and doesn't look any different from when he was on the A-Team. B.A. WAS Mr.T...but with a different name.
-
No movie. It's that simple.
-
A SHENANIGANIZER! Man did I dig that movie.

If Mr. T's cartoon comes back, will he make a cameo there?
by mrmysteryguest
-
Jesus Christ, who the fuck are these fucking retards who actually find his ramblings funny? They must be people who shit in their hands, eat it, and then piss on their keyboard. Because they're severely retarded.
-
Anyone remember when he claimed "everyone" thought he should be the one to take the stage and claim Heath Ledger's Oscar because he was more responsible for crafting the character of The Joker? Or how about recently where he repeatedly broke character and admitted what everyone already knew - it was all lies and he did it for the attention? Or in Beaks' Top 100 Films of the Decade articles where he repeatedly begged other TBers to include him on their "Top Posters of the Decade," referring to himself as "The Legend"? Yep, what a hilarious and dignified guy. Sure glad he's still around.
-
That is dedication to your character right there!
-
I definitely would say Mr. T wins in a straight up fight.
Yo T. Definitely the right thing to do not doing a cameo. I'm proud of you. THose fools can't use you to make their move betta than the crap that it is.. -
And I guarantee a cameo by George Peppard.
-
is for an actual Hollywood name to fuel the fire by saying they worked closely with JettL93 from aintitcoolnews. That would take the joke to the next level. Just imagine if Kevin Smith or somebody told an interviewer "i can't tell you who did the rewrite because of WGA rules, but he goes by JettL93..." that would be golden.
-
that call's Mr. T a liar. LettL93, you are that fool.

-
Lol, so how about that Joker?
-
Mr.T ruled in the A-Team and he still does today and that answer is testament to that. Seriously. Why make a parody of a movie just because some single brain celled nerd's first thought is the word cameo... Why not just let a film stand on its own with its story. To me the fact that Mr.T was approached for a cameo is the biggest red flag i've seen about this movie yet.
-
I'm runnin ma guild, fool!
-
Ha Ha. Jokes on you. The keyboard still works despite being soaked in urine and amazingly I can still hit all the proper keys with shit covered hands. Really I just like to see people loose their minds over one persons nonsense. Who is dumber, the guy writing retarded shit or the mass of people that are bothered by obvious lies?
-
the holywood elsewhere guy? his son jett wrote movie reviews on his site and was probably born in 1993.
-
surprising he would pass it up. maybe he isn't telling the truth and they didn't want him because he's too difficult
-
Someone should Knight that lovable bastard. Sir T is the only hero of my generation. And no, I will not be watching the crap they eventually shart out.
-
this is bullshit, nobody buys it, the guy is making infomercials, of course he wants to be in a real movie. and saying "if I do the cameo they'll start marketing the movie as if I was a the star and my fans will be disappointed" is not "classy", it's self-delusional.
-
Another utterly shit remake of another utterly shit 80's show...
*Yawn* -
Richard Roundtree's cameo in the Shaft remake was a bad idea as it showed up Samuel L. Jackson as simply just not being as cool as him.
Then you have David Hasselhoff, who appeared in the final scenes of the new Knight Rider pilot. He delivered a performance that seemed like he still had a few "foreign substances" in his system. It was the final nail in the coffin for that production.
But they had Lou Ferrigno in the latest Incredible Hulk movie. His little scene neither added nor detracted from the movie as a whole but it was nice to see him get a nod as not everyone realises he's being doing The Hulk's voice for years since the old TV show.
Cameos like Ferrigno's are pretty harmless and if they did that with Mr. 'T', Benedict or Schultz I don't think it would change the whole movie.
