Casting Call: The A-Team



I think "A-Team" as great potential to be an awesome flick. When it comes to TV remakes, hopefully it goes the way of The Fugitive, where it can actually take itself seriously. Joe Carnanhan is supposedly spearheading it, so it will most likely be dramatic thriller that knows how to be funny and humorous (hopefully!). Ya know, that middle ground between Smokin Aces and Narc. While I have never seen an episode of tv show, I still want to see this done right. I took the time to read up on the characters.






















Hannibal- Bruce Willis
Bruce Willis IS a tough, old cigar-chomping guy. I think he has perfected the serious but witty action hero, and despite his age, has kept himself in really great shape.



















Face- Ryan Reynolds
Reynolds could pass for a military guy physically. He is also a great actor with great comedic delivery and witticism. I would think he would be able to handle both the script, action, and possible improv.


















Murdoch- David Arquette
The name does not invoke quality with a lot of people, but I think Arquette is far more talented than people give him credit for. Eight Legged Freaks, Ready to Rumble, and his short-live tv series "In Case of Emergency" had better balance of outright insanity and sincerity than most want to admit.


















Bad Attitude- Terry Crews
He's big, he's black, so he's a pretty obvious choice. But he actually has some pretty great screen presence, sense of humor, and charisma that allows him to excel in the kind of role this would be.

  1. I think A-Team movie has been in development hell for a long time. *sigh* Although Mel Gibson at one time was reported to be playing Hannibal.
