Recasting the A-Team

CharlieRock · Post by **CharlieRock** » Tue Jan 08, 2008 4:38 pm

Imagine you were a movie producer and needed to cast for an A-Team movie based on the television series. Who would you pick?

My choices and (briefly) why:
Hannibal Smith
Gene Hackman
or
Tommy Lee Jones

Chosen for the ability to portray someone who is cool as a cucumber, and I can believe that he has seen everything.
Faceman Peck
Brad Pitt
or
Will Smith

Chosen to play the suave guy who can still do the shoot 'em up scenes.
B.A. Baracas
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson
or
Ron "Hellboy" Perlman

Picked because they are a)big, and b)can be very intimidating
Howling Mad Murdoch
Jim Carrey
or
John Leguizamo

Picked for being rubber faced comic relief.

What do you guys think? Who would you pick?

You know the A-Team film was announced and confirmed by the director and studio! For real, that's right John Singleton will direct a more serious version of the original TV series.

Who they'll probably get (pure conjecture here):

Hannibal Smith: Leslie Nielsen

B.A. Baracas: Michael Clarke Duncan

Faceman Peck: Ryan Seacrest or Justin Timberlake

Howling Mad Murdoch: Dwight Schultz or Jamie Kennedy

How about Ving Rhames for B.A.

George Clooney for Hannibal.

Owen Wilson for Face.

I'm drawing a blank on a current Murdock, but as a fantasy pick how about 1984ish Gary Bussey?

I love Ron Perlman as BA. But he's got to sport a mohawk!!

Hey,

What about some folks work up a C&C fantasy version of the A-Team?

Anyone up to the challenge???

I like Ice Cube. But he cannot play B.A.Baracas. That's stupid.
