Singleton talked the right talk too, saying he wanted to recapture the fun action movies of the '80s, mentioning PREDATOR and LETHAL WEAPON. He said he wanted Bruce Willis as Hannibal, Woody Harrelson as Murdock, ECW guy as B.A. - all brilliant. I'm not sure Singleton could've pulled it off though. But I expect them to replace him with somebody worse.

By the way I would like to see Nick Nolte as Hannibal, John McTiernan as director, A.B. King as executive producer.

I like the sound of it because I love most of those movies and I think very few if any modern action movies capture the feel of those ones. So I was excited that he was looking at those as models.

As for the "'80s retro" thing everybody keeps mentioning, okay, this is based on a TV show from the '80s. But other than that I don't think it was retro, it was going to take the same premise in the modern day. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be playing with Rubik's cubes and going to see E.T. at any point.

I know nobody likes it but I think MIAMI VICE was actually a good movie and the right attitude for this type of thing, he went and did a modern take on what he was originally trying to do with the show, a moody, gritty, astmospheric look at the world of undercover narcotics officers in Miami. I would like to see the same sort of philosophy applied to the A-Team - without nostalgia taking the original premise, capturing a similar mood but going further to fulfill the potential of the concept. It would be more lighthearted than MIAMI VICE of course.

Hey, maybe as long as Steve Soderbergh has gone nuts somebody should trick him into doing it. The OCEAN'S series has obviously dried out, this could be his new all-star vehicle.
