Those of you who follow our blog might recall a post I wrote a few years ago about the new A-Team movie. When I wrote this post, the A-Team movie was still in production and there were not many details revealed about it.

I haven't seen the movie quite yet but once it arrives in Israel I'll be sure to watch it (after I've watched Shrek Forever After, Alice, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and The Last Airbender, that is). In the meantime, let us review my forecast and compare it to the actual basic elements of the film.
 

For the role of John "Hannibal" Smith they chose Liam Neeson. He sucked as jedi and he sucked as Ras-Ah-Ghul, so I can't imagine how he could possibly do any better in this role. Also, Leslie Nielsen is still alive, people! You could have hired him to lead the A-Team...

For the role of Bosco Albert "B.A." (Bad Attitude) Baracus they picked Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. I don't really know who this guy is, but I'm guessing he doesn't portray a multi-latyed B.A. like Laurence Fishburne would have. We'll just have to wait and see.
 

For the role of Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck they chose Bradley Cooper. That's actually a good choice, I think. As you recall, I went for Ashton Kutcher, but Cooper works too. He does have a pretty face and I liked him in The Hangover (hetrosexually speaking, of course).

For the role of H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock they cast Sharlto Copley. Seriously, who is this guy? This role was made for Jim Carrey, and if he refused the role the studio should have offered him more money or kidnapped his children or something to make it happen. Gentlemen, I boo you.

Jessica Biel as Charissa Sosa = A-team female appendix!!! I was very close - I opted for Jessica Alba as the A-Team female appendix, but Jessica Biel is just as hot, if not more so. That's a different debate entirely. I got the last name right - I'm just like Paul.

It seems no one was cast as "nerdy guy who can use the internet" - unimaginative, Hollywood. Really, you have no vision.

Hopefully this movie doesn't suck as hard as the remakes of Transformers and G.I. Joe were, but it probably will. It opens in Israel on July 22.
