If you’ve grown up in the same era as me then there are a few entertainment and television pillars you probably base your life around. There’s “Knowing is half the battle,” the theme song to the original 90210, thinking Three’s Company was just funny and not brilliant at an early age, and then there’s this little show that basically changed the way I looked at the world. That show was The A-Team.
I won’t go into too much of a summary of the show – basically a bunch of ex-military specialists become free agents and start saving the world, but I will let you know that a movie is now in the works with a couple of recognizable names already rumored to be attached.
First up, the infamous BA Baracus played perfectly by Mr. T in the original series is rumored to be played by Common. This news has been floating around for a while now, but as of today, nothing has been officially confirmed. The next unconfirmed cast member would be Bradley Cooper (the guy from The Hangover and the guy who played Sack in Wedding Crashers). The rumor around Cooper is that he’s been contacted to audition for the part of Faceman!
A-Team is being re-envisioned by Joe Carnahan, the brain behind Smokin’ Aces and Narc. Keep an ear to ground for more info on this 80’s classic as it comes to the big screen.

I like Bradley Cooper, he’s got one of those faces where he’d be a good friend guy if he wasn’t playing a bully guy. Liked him in the Midnight Meat train too. Probably my favorite role of his so far. Hope he’s playing the Green Lantern in the new movie. If that’s the case, it might be a good idea not to be in this movie.
