I don't think they would make a very successful movie...or TV show. Only a brief glimpse of Murdock...none of Face...and B.A was a HUGE chatterbox.

Yep, Murdock was the chatterbox... BA kept calling him a fool too and would get upset at Murdock's dog Billy. But, given the treatment they did to shows like "I Spy" and "The Wild, Wild West" on the big screen, it wouldn't surprise me if they did try something like this. (Yes... more I watch the DVD collection of the TV series "WWW," the more I cringe at Klein's interpretation of Artemus Gordon. )

I think that would be a little much. I don't know if I could stomach Bruce. I think Mel Gibson has the right appeal for the role, especially after the LETHAL WEAPONS. As for the other three, I think T could still play B.A....he was the youngest of the original bunch...and I think he is younger now than Peppard was at the end of the series. The other two: I think some could play them, but casting will be the biggest hurdle...even over the script.

Mel Gibson would work the best as Hannibal and after watching him in "Maverick," he does take the time to at least understand the series before he directs/stars in it.
Mr. T, I don't know, but it is plausible. Michael Clark Duncan would work well in the role, as he can play both tough guy and tough guy with a heart of gold. (I see a difference in the two.)
Jim Carrey, if he keeps his humor down like he's done in "Liar, Liar," "The Majestic," and "Bruce Almighty" could possibly play Murdock. If he does it along the lines of "Ace Ventura," or like the Riddler in Batman, no, he's not a good choice.
Face, hmmm... I don't know. You need someone who is dashing, older but youthful looking, but can also act. Given the ages of the cast I've got down, I don't know a lot in that range who can get away with the babyface looks and be close to their ages, and again, can act. Noah Wylie appearance wise might pass, but I don't know about if he could play off the character well.

Jack Black as Murdock...what in the HELL is the matter with these people? To me, the A-Team movie is going to suffer the same way the DUKES OF HAZZARD movie did...it did not hold up the original show...that is why a lot of the original cast hated it, much as Face hates this script. I understand that they want a big feature, but they need to remember their roots. Maybe I should call SJC and feed him my script.

If you actually have a script, then I think you SHOULD send it to SJC! And when you become a big name screenwriter with Cannell's ear, you can get the tGAH movie made finally, as well

And when you become a big name screenwriter with Cannell's ear, you can get the tGAH movie made finally, as well I just need to tweak some of the background details on the team before they became mercenaries and such, but it is more in line with the original team idea. Granted, I might have done some aspects in mind with MY ideal cast, but that can't be helped. As for GAH, I have worked on a script for it too...but I wrote mine as a television pilot for a new series, which has the three leads from the original series back in supporting roles if nothing else. I don't think it would adapt well to the silver screen.

The A-Team and other shows Cannell did need either his input or someone who really knows their stuff (I'd say something else, which would be accurate, but it's ) and cares enough to not ruin what made those shows work. Otherwise, you're right, we'll end up with another "Dukes," "The Wild, Wild West" or "I, Spy." The GAH one sounds interesting too HD. Care to share a bit about the plot? Wonder if Holly's involved in it or Ralph had it and it's handed over.

But Holly was the last suit-wearer, so of course she would have to be in it...or at least mentioned, confirming the canon of it.

She is in my spinoff series too, HD, just as a dream (or was it?). 'Course whether/not they decide she's canon officially would depend if/when they did a new series. Plot's fine anyway, as knowing my unfortunate luck, I'd get it right on the money. (Unfortunate luck here is something along the lines of me getting right, without watching them, what movies Katt's character dies in. ) But, this is "The A-Team" thread, so I'll go on there. I'm hoping that they take anything Cannell says about the movie seriously and not give him the bird and change it as severely as they've done with other shows. There is a risk, such as "The Avengers" where they tried to keep it to the dot and it hurt it slightly (plot was great, but I think it needed the cheeziness of the sets of the original series to totally work). That movie, however, did finish in the top three its first week. I think though in this case, if they listen to Cannell and get the right cast, it'll work great. Just so long as they don't have a Face that was too young to really have been a Vietnam vet. Good thing they got Benedict afterall there (though Murdock's my favorite).

If so, I might do just that...but if it is going to line his doghouse, why would I bother?
