Fox’s A-Team re-do/remake/whatever is stalled out. Because the picture is at Fox, it’s been undergoing a steady stream of rewrites, and John Singleton would rather be trawling flea markets looking to beat the shit out of DVD bootleggers than stick around waiting for another draft. So the director is out, leaving the picture with…what? No confirmed cast, no director, and not even a script the studio is behind. (Granted, if I wrote a script Fox could get behind, I’d burn it.)
Fox is now calling the film a June 11, 2010 release where it will be sandwiched between Shrek Goes Fourth and Prince of Persia on one end (5/21 and 5/28, respectively) and a little picture called Toy Story 3 on the other, as Pixar’s weekend is June 18, 2010. That’s neither the best nor the worst place to be. But who is this going to attract given the studio, prior history and middling release schedule?
Fox also shuffled a couple of other pictures around: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Tooth Fairy went from June to Thansgiving ’09; the Chris Columbus-directed I Love You, Beth Cooper went from March 27 to July 10; They Came From Upstairs went from February 13 to July 31; and Columbus’s next film, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, went from ’09 to July 2, 2010.

Who needs a script, just cast the following:
Ben Stiller as Hannibal.
Owen Wilson as Face.
Jim Carrey as Murdoch.
Robert Downey Jr. as Mr. T
Baby, this is so easy, I should get an exec job and snorting columbian flake about of some teen poontang's ass crevice. Oui Oui! Not on my face baby, not on my face…
How about just dont make it?!? I think Singleton sucks now so I am glad to see his name off it though.
Do we really need an A-Team remake? Can't we just let it die? Remake something good or useful.
Hey, I thought Singleton was involved in his "Girl on da Hood" project? (BADA-BING!)
The A-Team had a script?
"The A-Team had a script?" hahahahahahah, probably not! On a side note, cast kimbo slice as Mr. T and have Mr. T reprise his role as the bearded lady in "Freaked"….imagine the hilarity and destruction that just might end our universe as we know it…death by stereo
Just nuke this train wreck already. The perfect A-Team movie has already been made. It's called Three Kings.
Michael Bay directs. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Michael Clarke Duncan, Jim Carrey. Do it. Biggest hit ever.
"Shrek goes Fourth?" Dreamworks been catching up on their Blackadder, have they?
Get Uwe Boll to direct it. I might actually watch Uwe Boll's "A-Team".
Who gives a fuck about "The A-Team"??? Adult males excited by a big screen adaptation of a lame TV show from their childhood frighten me. This is how america falls.
