Variety reports that the cast is shaping up for the big screen version of my buddy Steve Cannell’s hit series THE A-TEAM. Liam Neeson is taken with the part of Hannibal (George Peppard’s role) and Bradley Cooper is being wooed to play Faceman (Dirk Benedict’s part). No word yet on who is being sought for the roles of Murdock (Dwight Schultz in the original) and “B.A.” Baracus, played by Mr. T. Joe Carnahan is directing, and Ridley Scott is producing with Jules Daly and Cannell from a screenplay by Carnahan, Brian Bloom and Skip Woods.
they won’t be able to match the explosions in the original. And how will they cast the T? It’s like substituting the Mona Lisa. With chains and a mohawk.
One of the writers is brian bloom…is that the actor?
