The A Team?

Question

if you had to cast the A team film announced for 2008, who would you cast as the main characters, and what would they do.

Answer 1

I would put Luke Wilson in as Face, Jim Carrey as Murdock, Michael Douglas as Hannibal, & Terry Crews (the cheeseburger guy from the longest yard) as B.A.

Answer 2

This is a toughy being a fan of the A-Team you'd have to select very carefully for it not to be a flop at the flicks!!!!

But, anyways here's a few selections that may work!!!!

Choosing a selection from the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) sector
Hannibal - Vince McMann / John Cena / Stone Cold
Face - Triple H (Hunter Hurst Helmsley) / Edge
Murdock - Ray Mysterio / Carilto
B.A - Mark Henry / Umaga / The Undertaker / Eugene
The combinations are endless with the above.

If you're going for the more "hollywood" experience then yet again you've got to get the combination right for it to work!

But thinking about each character individually

Hannibal
- the brains behind the outfit, the planner, the devisor, the chief from Vietnam and still the chief of the group.
So you need a leader, a strong character.

Examples - Sean Connerry, Pierres Bronsner, Vin Diesel

Face
- the ladies man, the con artist, the schemer.
So you need a man who is goodlooking and good at changing characters / playing varied roles.

Examples - Leonardo DiCaprio (Catch me if you can!), Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp

Murdock
- the crazy one, the varied character, the loose cannon.
So you need someone who is crazy, excentric, diverse.

Examples - Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler

B.A
- the muscles, the mechanic - need we say more!
So you need a man who is big, beefy, and scared of no-one (except flying!!!!)

Examples
50 Cent, Samuel L Jackson, and this is where several of the WWE members could work really well if you've got the right mix with the other 3.

FINAL SECTION.......... WHAT would they do??????

Well that's obvious what does the A-Team always do??? Helps people who are having problems by solving it with vilocence and making machines out of absolutely ANYTHING!!!! Why change what has worked for so long????? Just up the scale of the job as it's got to last a couple of hours for a movie not like a TV episode!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Is there really an A-Team movie on the horizon?

Anyway....

Col. John "Hannibal" Smith ~ Micky Rourke
(He did a great job with Marv [Sin City] and has the charisma to be the "defacto" leader of the team)
Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck ~ Nick Stahl
(He's good looking without being too childish or rough.)
Sgt. Bosco Albert "B.A." Baracus ~ Michael Clarke Duncan
(Who else could dare to walk in the BadAss shoes of Mr. T?)
Capt. H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock ~ Johnny Depp
(Captain Jack Sparrow.... need I say more?)

As for what would they do.... They use their unique brand of justice to help someone who can afford them.... just like on the TV: "If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team."

Answer 4

Well I've never seen the show, so I don't know any of the characters names or anything. But if I was to cast someone for Mr. T's part I would have to say someone like Samuel L. Jackson.. Lol.

Answer 5

Hannibal - Anthony Hopkins
Face - George Clooney/Brad Pitt
Murdock - Jim Carey
B A Barracus - Hard one probably someone like Eddie Murphy with loads of latex and a body suit

Answer 6

BA = got to be Mr T himself!
Hannibal = George Clooney
Face = Brendan Fraser
Murdoch = Jim Carrey

Answer 7

Hannibal - George Clooney
BA - Guy from Green Mile
Face - Leo dicaprio
Murdock - Jim Carrey

Answer 8

50 cent as B.A. Barracus
Face Brad Pitt
Murdock Jack Black
Hannibal Hayes Sam Elliot
I would make it the story of Gulf War vets ( early 90's) accused of a crime they did not commit and have them solve a crime while trying to clear their own name. I know it was done that way on TV but if it works why mess with it?

Answer 9

I would do an all-female cast just to shake things up a bit.

Answer 10

Allthe original A team are not alive ie George Peppard.
