Who would be in it? (cameo)

[MontanaCowgirl]

If there was coming a cameo of the A-Team, who would you like to be playing the fab four?

Here's my suggestion:

Murdock - definitely Jim Carrey

B.A. - now that's hard... probably still Mr.T.

Hannibal - George W. Bush, because he loves it if a plan comes together

Face - ...this is the hardest question of all. Maybe Hugh Jackman :?:

[Lt. Templeton TLoS Peck]

When we ask us this question we always think: "who could play the role we all liked so much 20 years ago."

but they can't give us the same show, with the same characters.

hannibal and face are the most difficult. can hollywood give us the smoking macho-hannibal we all loved in the old show (who can replace the good old "i'm not saying this line" peppard?)? can hollywood give us the smoking, wominizer face ? i don't think so.

and B.A. ? mr. t is b.a./ b.a. is mr. t. Searching some other actor to play mr. t is like searching an actor to play "brad pitt", and refusing to let brad pitt play the role.

murdock? people easily refer to jim carrey, but like the other 3 dwight has a very unique way of acting. dwight schulz has a very energetic and enthousiastic way of acting. jim carrey too, but his comedy characters always look silly. murdock is crazy, but not silly. and don't forget dwight really created the character of murdock from zero, because the character was not supposed to last long.

the actors took away the show. they were hannibal/face/t/murdock.

I know, I know, I wouldn't like them to change the actors either and I think that's why all the cameos became such flops... Miami Vice, Thunderbirds (unfortunately also Thunderbirds) and Dallas will be, too, if you ask me. And the late Knight Rider 2000 from the 90s. Even if Hasselhoff was in it, I think it was because K.I.T.T. wasn't K.I.T.T., but any crappy oldtimer. :?
It's a "team", it's the "A-team" you cannot separate.

I read Bruce Willis is in talks for the role of Hannibal. I don't like Willis... please, no...

Personally, I wish they wouldn't "remake" it at all.
The original and the characters were great fun, and I don't think they could ever capture that again.
Leave it for TV history I say and enjoy the reruns :)

Right! It's just a waste of time and money and pure embarrassement afterwards :roll:

While I agree that they should just leave it alone it's inevitable that Hollywood will try to cash in on the opportunity :roll: . And it's my prediction that it will flop as the others did. However, since I work in the industry I know that the studios consider any profit, not matter how small a success.

So that being said, perhaps their researchers will be checking fan sites such as this one for suggestions of who should play the roles and maybe they'll take our advice. Who knows!

But my vote for "Faceman" would be George Clooney :wink:

The problem with the Hollywood machine is it has no originality. Recycling other people's ideas.

If Hollywood cared about the fans and their input, Starbuck would still be a GUY.

By the way bbear97...

Welcome :D

Exactly.

If I only remember how Hollywood wanted to turn Joe Simpson (http://www.noordinaryjoe.co.uk)'s book "Touching The Void" (has anybody read it and seen the movie?) into a movie. They wanted to give Joe's story a false color. They said what he went through wouldn't be dramatic enough though he was close to death when he had to really crawl through the Peruvian Andes with a broken leg for 4 days. They wanted to give Tom Cruise the role of Joe... I think I don't need to tell more. Joe withdrew from the contract and made the English turn his book into a documentary. ...eh, I think I'm getting side-tracked. But it was only to show you a terrible example of How Hollywood sometimes really works.

I 100% agree!!! I cringe when a remake script passes my desk! I'm not sure why there are no new ideas out there!?? They claim that they're making a 'better/bigger version". If they wanted to change Starbuck's sex, they should have waited another 80 years so that no original fans were around to make any comparisons!

And thank you for the welcome. I'm an original fan of Starbuck, even if I was much too young for Viper training at the time :wink:

Beside the new actors another point that might really suck is the modernization of the A-Team... Face would probably get in one call after another on his new cell phone in which he can finally save all the womens' numbers, Murdock would have a PlayStation instead of his huge Pacman-machine, B.A. might have a Tamagotchi hanging around his neck and Hannibal... he's just Hannibal. :roll:
