A-Team casting? | Movie News
John Singleton's movie update of 80s TV do-gooders for hire THE A-TEAM is due in theaters next summer, and casting names are currently being kicked around.
First up, Latino Review says that none other than Bruce Willis is being pursued for the part of cigar-chomping leader Hannibal Smith, played to perfection by the late George Peppard on the series. It remains to be seen if Bruno will love it for this plan to come together (with a significant paycheck, for sure).
Meanwhile, CHUD chatted with Tyrese Gibson on the set of the supernatural thriller LEGION, and although the papers aren't quite signed, he sure talks like he's a lock for the team's scowling badass B.A. Baracus. Previous rumors had Ice Cube stepping into Mr. T's famous role, but Tyrese wouldn't be a surprise, having already worked with Singleton on three other movies.
The script is still being reworked, but expect some kind of announcements fairly soon if Fox plans to get the film in shape for its already-slotted June 2009 release date.Source: Latino Review , CHUD
Extra Tidbit: Should the new movie include the irritating reporter chick and the ponytailed special-effects guy nobody really remembers?

But since hollywood...
But since hollywood doesn't care about who's parade they piss on, the cast should be something along the lines of:
George Clooney - Hannibal Smith
-clooney's got the look, i can't deny that...probably the only actor i could list as hannibal without peppard spinning in his grave.
Timothy Olyphant - Templeton Peck (face)
Jim Carey - Murdock
-He's got the hair and he's already done his insane/loopy roles.
Ving Rhames or Michael Clark Duncan - B.A Baracus
-tyrese CAN NOT be baracus...you need someone with a somewhat large frame to represent the intimidation that B.A. brings his his enemies before he does that "over the camera throw"

Crispin Glover or Brian Posehn as Murdock...
Ewan McGregor or Steve Zahn as Face...
and, without a doubt, Michael Clark Duncan, with a mohawk, would be a most fantabulous sight, no?
