Mr. T Will Not Cameo In The New A-Team
19 hours ago | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Are you looking forward to the new, big-screen version of The A-Team? After some initial apprehension about a “remake” of such a classic TV series, I’ve found myself looking forward to it (particularly after hearing about the great casting choices, as well as seeing the first promo image) .
Second question: are you hoping for cameos from the original A-Team members, even though new folks have taken over their roles? Well, if you Are then you’re in luck on at least one front, as we already learned that Dwight Schultz – aka the original Capt. ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock – will be making a cameo. This led to speculation that we’d see both Dirk Benedict (aka the original Faceman) and Mr. T (aka the original B.A. Baracus) also making cameo appearances (sadly George Peppard, the original Hannibal, passed away some 15 years ago).
Well, there’s no word on whether Benedict will appear, »

No Mr. T in 'The A-Team' Movie
26 December 2009 12:01 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Ok, so George Peppard is dead, meaning he's out of The A-Team movie update, but Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz have both confirmed their cameos in Joe Carnahan's movie. That leaves only Mr. T. I have long suspected he had more bargaining sway than the other guys and that eventually, T would have his payday. Nope.
Through a strange set of circumstances, George Roush aka El Guapo from Latino Review found out from Mr. T himself the real story. Bumping into the one and only Clubber Lang at a health club, the writer discovered that the original mohawk won't be back, and that it has nothing to do with money. »

Exclusive: 'The A-Team: Shotgun Wedding' Comic Previewed On MTV Splash Page
21 December 2009 10:30 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
From Splash Page: Next year's big-screen reboot of the "A-Team" will be one of many films receiving some attention from the comic book world in advance of its arrival in theaters. Idw Publishing will be launching not one, but two series following Hannibal, B.A. Baracus and the rest of their mercenary crew.
Titled "The A-Team: Shotgun Wedding" and "The A-Team: War Stories," the two series will not only feature the beloved television series' characters (in the likenesses of the new actors playing them), but also offer up some brand new stories of their adventures.
Idw has offered Splash Page readers the first peek at some early art from "The A-Team: Shotgun Wedding," written by Joe Carnahan and Tom Waltz with art from Stephen Mooney — including the ridiculously cool covers to the first and second issues, as well as several inked pages.
(Oh, and is that a Sarah Palin cameo we see? »

The Notable Films of 2010: Part One
15 December 2009 7:47 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
After such success with this last year, today comes the first in a multi-chapter look at the various cinematic releases hitting the U.S. in 2010.
Each 'Volume' contains brief descriptions and editorial opinion/analysis of around 25-30 films, and at present it's looking to run around nine volumes in length.
Expect the remaining ones to go up between now and the first official weekend of releases on January 8th.

Opens: 2010
Cast: Jason Statham, Alexander Skarsgard, Mickey Rourke, Ray Winstone, 50 Cent

Off the Shelf: Smokin’ Aces
13 December 2009 12:11 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Out of curiosity and sheer boredom, I’ve decided to start up a new column that will run once every week or two here at Reelloop. In Off the Shelf, I’ll randomly pick a DVD or Bluray out of my collection and write a few paragraphs of random thoughts about whatever film my finger lands on. Hopefully I can make some interesting points and draw your eye to a film you might not have seen before!
For my first film, we’ll be looking at Joe Carnahan’s 2006 film Smokin’ Aces.
You’ve got to hand it to Mr. Joe Carnahan, whether you hate Smokin’ Aces or love it dearly — the guy can pull together a great cast, and gets awesome performances out of each member. A quick scan of the IMDb page for the film evokes skepticism: Alicia Keys? Common? (Remember, these were the days before Common was »

Another Original 'A-Team' Member Confirms Cameo
28 November 2009 12:39 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
As much as we may hate to admit it, the early indications are that The A-Team is moving in the right direction. The casting for at least three of the key roles seems perfect, we know with Joe Carnahan directing it probably won't be as 80s campy, shifting instead to a grittier approach, and the van is back. About the only thing that can screw it up is TV cast member cameos.
Damn it: Dirk Benedict just revealed on Dirk Benedict Central that he will film his role in Vancouver. He follows Dwight Schultz, the original "Howling Mad" Murdock, in announcing his walk-on role. That leaves only World of Warcraft pitchman Mr. T...and I think you know what he'll say. »

Original Faceman To Make Cameo in Carnahan's A-Team
27 November 2009 8:22 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
It's always sad when when the crew behind the new TV project tries to get the old cast members to make cameos. The whole things seems like a desperate attempt to not only appease a fan base, but also, in some sick way, it feels like the offer is payment for ruining something that people used to enjoy. Unless the desired 70s TV star has been missing and presumed dead for the last 40 years, it's not really that interesting. The most recent project to do this is Joe Carnahan's The A-Team, which, earlier this month, roped in Dwight Schultz, the original "Howling Mad" Murdock. Now they have two out of three. Much like how Schultz's cameo was discovered, the fan club of Dirk Benedict (via Cinematical), who played "Faceman" Peck in the original series, has confirmed that the actor will be making an appearance in the remake. In the film, »
Dirk Benedict To Cameo in The A-Team
27 November 2009 12:20 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Earlier this month, we learned that Dwight Schultz, the original Howling Mad Murdock, would be making a cameo in the Joe Carnahan's big screen film adaptation of The A-Team. Cinematical now has word that Dirk Benedict, who played Templeton "Faceman" Peck in the original television series, also has a cameo. Mr. T, who many will remember as the original B.A. Baracus, has said publicly that he was offered a cameo but turned it down, explaining "it's insulting me to ask me to be in it [as someone else]. It's just like my ex-girlfriend saying 'Why don't you come out to dinner with my new boyfriend?' You see what I mean? I am not going to do that." »

The A-Team Meets The A-Team – Cameo News!
26 November 2009 5:36 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
Still loving this promo shot for the upcoming “The A-Team” film by director Joe Carnahan. Just look how cool they all look! Especially Sharlto Copely. Maybe I’m being a bit biased seeing as District 9is my film of the year but they have completely nailed the casting for this film. The first set of pictures was released months ago with the promo stuff following in October and they did enough to send shock waves throughout the entire A-Team loving community.
The pictures of the main cast looked great and with what I can only assume is more than solid support from Patrick Wilson this is going to be one huge thrill ride.
As if us fans didn’t have enough to look forward too news filtered through a couple of weeks ago that Dwight Schultz, the original Howlin’ Mad Murdock would feature in a cameo. Now it seems he »

Dirk Benedict Confirms Cameo in the New A-Team Movie
26 November 2009 1:22 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Here’s some news which was bound to surface sooner or later. Dirk Benedict has confirmed via DirkBenedictCentral.com that he’ll be appearing in the new The A-Team movie with a cameo part.
As I say, this comes as no surprise to me as anyone who’ll appear in the celebrity version of Big Brother in the UK will surely be part of a big budget movie given half the chance! With Dwight Schultz confirming a couple of weeks ago that he’ll be in the movie, all we need now is the big man, Mr. T to get involved and we have ourselves a movie!
Joe Carnahan is directing the new movie which stars Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck, Liam Neeson as Col John ‘Hannibal’ Smith, Sharlto Copley as Captain ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson as Sgt Bosco ‘B.A.’ Baracus and Jessica Biel as their female sidekick. »

Another A-Team Cameo Confirmed: Dirk Benedict

Just a few weeks ago, Peter Hall brought you the news that Dwight Schultz, aka the original Howlin' Mad Murdock, had earned a cameo in Joe Carnahan's remake of The A-Team. Obviously, you can't invite Schultz and not invite the rest of the surviving team, and it seems Faceman will also be getting some facetime. According to Dirk Benedict Central, Dirk Benedict will also be appearing in the film in an unspecified role.
Remember when this kind of thing stayed secret? I'm not losing sleep over the production of The A-Team or anything, but it makes me nostalgic for the days down the long haul and into history back when you didn't know anything about secret cameos until you were in the dark theater. Then you could nudge whoever you were with and say "Oh my gosh! That's Dirk Benedict! Ha ha!" If you had your head bitten off »

'A-Team' Movie Features Cameo from Dirk Benedict
24 November 2009 9:20 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Earlier this month we reported that director Joe Carnahan's A-Team movie will feature a cameo by original series actor Dwight Schultz. Today comes word that another member of the original show's cast will apparently appear in the film, too.
According to Dirk Benedict Central (and reported by Cinematical), Dirk Benedict, who played Templeton "Faceman" Peck, will have a cameo as well.
Dirk has just announced to this website that he has two projects in the works beginning with a cameo appearance in the new "The A-Team" film, which is currently shooting in Vancouver Canada.
We're not sure if such cameos help or hinder these sorts of remakes; god knows the Paul Michael Glaser & David Soul cameos at the end of Todd Phillips' 2004 Starsky & Hutch feature film were a self-serving add-on that would have been best left out altogether.
The A-Team also stars Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Biel, »
Bradley Cooper and Sam Worthington to Frolic in The Texas Killing Fields
17 November 2009 2:45 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Back in February when he was fresh off his Oscar-win, Danny Boyle told MTV he was considering a project called The Texas Killing Fields, which was in no way related to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre but does speak to people’s fear of the Lone Star State and their decision not to mess with it. The plot is mostly under wraps but it concerns two cops who discover that a recent murder in their jurisdiction is connected to the notorious “Killing Fields Murders.”
While Boyle ultimately decided not to do the film (he has since moved on to direct the survival tale 127 Hours), it has now moved into the hands of Ami Mann, daughter of Michael Mann (Heat), with Bradley Cooper and Sam Worthington attached to star. Click the jump for more details.

Jessica Biel is armed and dangerous for The A-Team
17 November 2009 4:07 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Jessica Biel says she's having an "amazing" time learning to fire guns for the movie remake of The A-Team.
The 27-year-old star was speaking on the red carpet for the Hollywood premiere of new animated film Planet 51.
She said she'd been having a lot of fun with guns on The A-Team set in recent weeks, revealing: "I haven't done a lot of M4 machine gun shooting in my life and I'm doing that now a lot, it's amazing to understand how to run those weapons."
Jessica plays Lt Carissa Sosa in the big-screen adaptation of the 80s series. Sosa is the glamorous ex-lover of one of the members of the A-Team and works for the Department of Defence.
The actress added she'd also been getting to grips with a 9mm Beretta for her role: "I know it's a little hardcore but it's what I've been doing, I'm getting to »

Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Biel and Justin Long Interview, Planet 51
16 November 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
MoviesOnline sat down recently with Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Biel and Justin Long to talk about their new film, “Planet 51,” a galactic-sized animated alien adventure comedy.
When American astronaut Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker (Johnson) lands on Planet 51, he thinks he's the first person to step foot on it only to discover that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world reminiscent of a cheerfully innocent 1950s America, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders...like Chuck! With the help of his robot companion "Rover" and his new friend Lem (Long), Chuck must navigate his way through the dazzling, but bewildering, landscape of Planet 51 in order to escape becoming a permanent part of the Planet 51 Alien Invaders Space Museum.
Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Biel and Justin Long are fabulous people and we really appreciated their time. »
Quinton Jackson Shows Off the Surly on A-Team Set

Some new set pics of former Mma fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson on the set of Joe Carnahan’s “A-Team” doing his best to channel Mr. T. He’s not quite there yet, but I suppose we should all give him the benefit of the doubt, at least until the movie comes out. It’s hard to replace Mr. T, after all. If it was easy, well, he wouldn’t be Mr. T, would he? More pics via. »

Jessica Biel, Justin Long, and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Interview Planet 51
15 November 2009 1:31 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Last week, Sony held a press junket at the Griffith Observatory, here in Los Angeles, to help promote their upcoming animated movie Planet 51. Since the film takes place on another planet, I think the location was perfect. Also, almost every press day is held at a hotel, and it’s great to “shake and bake” the junket format. But while the location was different, that didn’t stop Jessica Biel, Justin Long, and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson from making all the journalists laugh during most of their press conference. While you may be sick of Justin Long and his Mac commercials, the guy is quick on his feet when reacting to questions. I was very impressed.
Anyway, after the jump to can either read the transcript of the press conference or listen to the audio. While I always think listening to the audio is better than reading a trancript, »
