One potential B.A. Baracus could be...

Is there a reason by Sith Witch	Jun 6th, 2008 08:17:31 AM
why Mr. T himself won't do it? Or are the producers too narrow-minded not to even consider him?

Looks ok but... by SKULL1138	Jun 6th, 2008 08:19:23 AM
Do we really need to see an A -Team Movie It doesn't sound very good does it?
Oh Hell Yes! by NubtheSquirrel	Jun 6th, 2008 08:19:28 AM
He's got the look and the right attitude. Mr. T had no acting experience before Rocky 3. This guy has potential for the A-Team movie. Please let it be so!
Sigh by STLost	Jun 6th, 2008 08:19:29 AM
Remakes make the world go round. In this case...remaking TV shows into movies.

Quinton will be great by larkn	Jun 6th, 2008 08:20:29 AM
The man has a charisma off the charts and his personality has a magical blend of being able to kick the ass of most people and a great sense of humor. I wish him luck in this.
MR T by SKULL1138	Jun 6th, 2008 08:20:39 AM
Would knock out this Mutha with some of his trademark jibba jabberin. I pity the fool who messes with Mr T.
thought that meant "barack" running mate by greentealite	Jun 6th, 2008 08:21:11 AM
then i saw the pictures, lol. I doubt either of those guys would balance the ticket.
He would work actually by Bobo_Vision	Jun 6th, 2008 08:21:45 AM
I've seen him on UFC, and he has charisma. Much better choice than Taye Diggs. And lets face it, Mr.T's role doesn't exactly call for strong acting chops - its all about look, attitude, and strength.

Ice cube is good if going for cheese by nowimnthing	Jun 6th, 2008 08:28:30 AM
but I think Michael Clarke Duncan would have more than enough presence to fill the shoes. Ice cube would not be serious enough, even in boyz he was a little cuddly, Mr T is never cuddly.
Yeah, get a head-cracking animal as the family-friendly B.A. by MaxTheSilent	Jun 6th, 2008 08:29:55 AM

Why not get a real actor by Cobb05	Jun 6th, 2008 08:40:02 AM
Unless he's going to actually fight people and knock them out, why not get a real actor to play the part. You can teach an actor to fight, but it's harder to teach a fighter to act. And since B.S. is basically the star of the movie, why would you risk the whole movie on a guy who's never acted a day in his life?
rampage is in midnight meat train by logicalnoise01	Jun 6th, 2008 08:41:25 AM
he's even in the trailer for a split second. the guy is hilarious.
Mr. T couldnt act either. and BA shouldnt be the star by BMacSmith	Jun 6th, 2008 08:42:39 AM
he should just be the badass in the corner. ah, who cares really, an A-team movie is just stupid
here comes a shitload of pity the fool jokes lol by Seth Brundle	Jun 6th, 2008 08:53:15 AM
in any case my fave line of Mr.T was in Rocky 3, when he's taunting Rocky at the statue ceremony and say to the people "im currently ranked at number one -- ONE!!!!!!!!!!" badass!
Why not Kimbo? by Half-Baked-Goggle-Box-Do-Gooder	Jun 6th, 2008 08:54:50 AM
Guy makes Mr T look like Urkel.

I didn't watch the interview and I'd never heard of him before but when this dude walked out on stage on Kimmel I was like - that gut could be BA. Somehow when I clicked on this story I had a feeling I'd be seeing his picture.
I agree KIMBO would make by mr.brownstone	Jun 6th, 2008 09:09:09 AM
a great B.A.
Kimbo is bald by Bobo_Vision	Jun 6th, 2008 09:15:57 AM
No mohawk...no B.A. Its non-negotiable.
the obvious choices by ripcord	Jun 6th, 2008 09:16:28 AM
Picture this: Hannibal: Mel Gibson. He has the right humor and is the right age B.A: Micheal Clarke Duncan. The whole point of BA was that we was intimidating for his time. MCD is currently the biggest, and possibly most intimidating, black actor at the moment. Face: Josh hartnett. Decent actor and any girl I know thinks he's fairly easy on the eyes. Murdock: This will be the most debated one. I'd go for Jim Carrey. I think only he could pull off the "madness" needed - not just overacting.
But Mr T. IS B.A. Baracus....! by Ray Gamma	Jun 6th, 2008 09:20:28 AM
Mr T with his 'quit yo jibber jabba' etc, that actually IS Mr T, so any other 'actor' who does the part for this remake, is gonna be putting it on, i.e. faking Mr T as much as faking B.A.
I think in the fortnight by tomdolan04	Jun 6th, 2008 09:30:08 AM
we've had at least two remake stories a day. Stop the madness!
the next remake.... by Cobb05	Jun 6th, 2008 09:33:52 AM
ALF, starring Paul Giamatti as AFL.

nice one, Cobb
I say that dude with the monkey arms by Series7	Jun 6th, 2008 09:51:30 AM

Bring back the original cast by Herb West	Jun 6th, 2008 09:51:35 AM
If Indy, Rocky, Rambo, and Die Hard can do it, then the A-Team can do it too. Just get someone like Bruce Willis to be the fourth man since George Peppard is gone.
Are they actually going to make this? by DonKingKong	Jun 6th, 2008 09:57:41 AM
He'd make a good T. But seriously, it seems like they've had this thing starting and stopping for-ever! This is the last time I'm even going to invest a moments thought into the A-Team. That is, until we at least get some shoots on location for this SOB.
Terry Crews by matalo	Jun 6th, 2008 10:00:23 AM

Rampage is awesome! by DEX	Jun 6th, 2008 10:10:15 AM
Quinton is one bad dude with tons of charisma. He may not be an actor but neither was Mr. T. Besides, the A-Team was pure cheese anyway so it's not like we're expecting a cinematic masterpiece. I'll see it if Rampage is in it, though!
I thought Ice Cube was a forgone conclusion by TVguy4566	Jun 6th, 2008 10:14:04 AM
I thought when they announced that Singleton was directing that Ice Cube pretty much had the BA Barrackus part locked up.
Rober Downey Jr. Should play B.A.! by Sappers Forward	Jun 6th, 2008 10:22:11 AM
Looks like he pulls it off in Tropic Thunder, why not the A-Team? That would be great!
Okay, here's my casting call . . . by SkidMarkedUndies	Jun 6th, 2008 10:44:27 AM
What do you think? George Clooney as Hannibal Smith. Kimbo Slice as B.A. Barracus. Josh Holloway as Face. And I have no clue who should play Murdock. Perhaps Dwight Schultz?

he looks the part....anything would be better than michael clark duncan....he would suck....and i 2nd the josh holloway for faceman comment.....i say jim carrey for murdoch....i think bruce willis would be a great hannibal
Foo !!! RRRRRRRR Foo !!!! by picardsucks	Jun 6th, 2008 11:26:53 AM
Gotta be Kimbo Foo. See told ya. Hollywood has to have it's pretty people or in this case prettier people. Kimbo should be a no brainer but no he's not quite handsome enough. UOOOO How about Tyson he's soooo dreamy (says the young flaming casting agents with numbian drams dancing in their heads) Well we all shut that bit of uneccessary gayness down pretty quick. Now they tease us with another badass but a prettier one. Kimbo you little man bitches Kimbo!! The dude is Mr. Fucking T
Robert Downey Jr Should be B.A. by alpeter3	Jun 6th, 2008 11:38:27 AM
Hey, after seeing the trailer for Tropic Thunder, I think he could totally pull it off!
Rampage is barely intelligible... by GrandMuffTarkin	Jun 6th, 2008 11:41:56 AM
Watching him on this season's TUF, I can barely make out what he's saying most of the time. Sometimes they even run subtitles for him. The brother needs a diction coach if he's going to take on any acting roles. Say what you will about Mr. T, the man could enunciate his words.
ICE CUBE AS B.A. BARACAS? WTF?!! by Bill Clay	Jun 6th, 2008 11:46:09 AM
Ice Cube would be a better Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man than the new Mr. T. He's a little too soft.
Rampage is perfect for BA by smackfu	Jun 6th, 2008 11:54:48 AM
Not only does he have the look, but he's also a pretty weird guy with a deadpan sense of humor.

Rampage VS Montel Williams by CloakAndZipper	Jun 6th, 2008 12:11:51 PM
Rampage might be good for B.A., but the other guys is perfect for the new Montel Williams biopic.
Terry Crews by Series7	Jun 6th, 2008 12:12:59 PM
matalo is right. Make it so.
GrandMuffTarkin by kuldan	Jun 6th, 2008 12:40:05 PM
Quinton "unintelligable?" Never once did they use subtitles for him in the show. Not once. If you try listening to him, then you might understand what he is saying.
Casting possibilites by darquelyte	Jun 6th, 2008 01:04:43 PM
Hannibal: George Clooney, Harrison Ford or Robert Downey Jr. Face: Josh Holloway from Lost as someone mentioned earlier is a GREAT idea! Also, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would be a good choice if they wanted a more "ethnic" mix. If they wanted a Hispanic actor, Freddy Rodriguez might be a good choice, or maybe the guy from CSI: Miami. Please not Brad Pitt! Murdock: Jim Carrey, Steve Carell or Will Farrell. B.A. Baracus: Ving Rhames or Michael Clarke Duncan are both about 50. Djimon Hounsou is 44. I think they all may be too old for the part. Maybe they should get a pro wrestler like Shelton Benjamin. I mean, that guy really IS an actor, right?
artvanderlay by Cartagia	Jun 6th, 2008 01:11:44 PM
It's Sam Rockwell, and that is by far the best casting choice I've heard for Murdoch. I say Gibson for Hannibal based on one moment alone. The last shot of Maverick, with him chomping that cigar with the big shit-eating grin on his face. THAT is Hannibal.
He would be pretty good... by brodiebruce_405	Jun 6th, 2008 01:23:58 PM

There are two ways of doing BA by TheNorthlander	Jun 6th, 2008 01:48:12 PM
Funny like a comic relief (like they did with Gimli) or straight like a badass mofo. I can't see how either would really work. That said, Ice Cube is the only idea so far I've heard that sounds good to me. Does anyone know the tone they're aiming for in the movie?

All you Americans are arseholes... by Billy The Fish	Jun 6th, 2008 03:02:33 PM
Sorry, I didn't mean that, it's just that was the only way I could get my point across...Look, come on, we're all grown ups here - can anyone honestly tell me that an 'A-Team' movie is something that people want? I mean, do you? Really? Because this news is beyond embarrassing, isn't it? Cringe-makingly bad stuff all round. Maybe some hip new gun-slinger is thinking they can come out of it all 'cool' and 'retro' but come on!...
Chuck Liddel for B.A. if they keep insisting on turning by Damien Chowder	Jun 6th, 2008 03:06:14 PM

That would have been my second choice. Hell, get Robert Downey Jr. to play him. He can do it. Look at Tropic Thunder.
Bruce willis will be Hannibal by moondoggy2u	Jun 6th, 2008 04:34:50 PM
And yeah, this guy really could be a good B.A. Oddly enough, I think I could really enjoy an A-Team movie, but I seriously doubt it would be treated well in our modern, more P.C. times.

I agree, dark jedi by moondoggy2u	Jun 6th, 2008 08:42:50 PM
The original show, as stupid and formulaic as it was, was still a guy's show. Made by guys, starring guys, for guys. You just know that the film version will turn Face into a girl, have a bunch of twenty-somethings led by Bruce Willis, and probably change the van into a prius or something.

I vote Gibson as Hannibal, too. And Cube = BA by JasonPratt	Jun 7th, 2008 08:56:36 AM
Why Gibson? He's the correct age to the rest of the group, can do crazy-as-a-fox butt-kicking leadership good, and easily has Hannibal's smile. And Ice Cube has practically _played!_ the role of BA Baracus in xXx: State of the Union already. (So what if he's short? So was Mr. T, really.)
As for Face? Michael Weatherly, from NCIS by JasonPratt	Jun 7th, 2008 09:07:18 AM
Not only does he have the acting-chops to work with a high-ranker like Gibson, but again he's been practically _playing_ Templeton "Faceman" Peck already on NCIS. (They even threw out a couple of A-Team references in one episode of season 4; his character, Tony DiNozzo jokes that the shirt he's wearing is from the "George Peppard" collection, and there's a sort of visual reference in his clever use of a smoking cigar in the same episode: Peck and Smith were the two cigar smokers on the A-Team.)
Lester Speight for B.A. - he's just about perfect! by The Grug	Jun 7th, 2008 11:36:16 AM
He's the guy who play's Terry Tate: Office Linebacker in those Reebok commercials. No one else who's been mentioned can come close to Mr. T's awesomeness.

I was the first to suggest Rampage as B.A. right here on this very website when I heard rumors they were thinking of casting Tyrese as Mr.T. Look it up. John Singleton was obviously reading the blog and stole my idea. I won't my cut god dammit this was my idea. And oh yeah, Buscemi as Murdock is a great idea.
