Filming Continues On The Set Of ‘The A-Team’
Last weekend we got our first look at the set of the upcoming movie version of the 80’s action TV series The A-Team and today we get to see a few more pics from the set … including a photo of Bradley Cooper who has been cast to play prettyboy Lt. Templeton Faceman Peck and a promo pic of Quinton Rampage Jackson, who has been cast as the new Sgt. Bosco ‘B.A.’ Baracus … behold:
A helicopter and the infamous black van feature in some of the first pics from the new A-Team film. The remake, which is being filmed in Canada, has just started filming after the final cast members were added last week. Jessica Biel, 27, is to be the leading lady in the feature, which has been adapted from the hit 80s TV series. She is joined by Liam Neeson, 57, who plays Hannibal, Bradley Cooper, 34 (Face), Sharlto Copley, 35 (Murdoch), Patrick Wilson, 36 (A CIA operative), and UFC fighter Quinton Jackson, 31 (B.A. Baracus). In the pictures, taken on the film’s Canadian set, we see the classic GMC van which was used in the 1980s programme. It was the A-Team’s main mode of transport, which they often transformed into an armoured vehicle using makeshift tools and materials which they always conveniently came across in times of need. In another picture Quinton Jackson can be seen inside a helicopter, which appears to be some kind of emergency vehicle. Fans of the original show are likely to be slightly miffed at seeing his character, B.A., flying – as one of the show’s running jokes was that he had a fear of flying. Other members of the team would come up with inventive ways to knock him out (such as a carton of milk laced with drugs), in order to get him onto a plane, usually preceeded by his catchphrase ‘I ain’t gettin’ on no plane, fool’.
Man … there really is no replacement for Mr. T but I’m sure this Rampage fellow will do a fine job. I like that they updated B.A. Baracus’s jewelry … tho, I do kinda miss all those gold chains. As I’ve mentioned before, all these movie remakes are gettin’ kinda old but since I didn’t really watch the show when it aired in the 80’s, I don’t think I’d mind seeing it adapted for the big screen in modern times. Bradley Cooper will make a great Faceman in the flick. Looks fun!

I see they decided not to go with the Mohawk & feather earrings either…he looks kind of naked.
I wonder if they are keeping the theme tune? Or at least a version of it.
I still occasionally find myself humming it when on the riding mower!
De-Ta-Den-Da-De-Ta-Da….

To me, it will be all about Murdoch. I don’t know this Sharlto Copley dude, so I’m reserving judgment. Murdoch was by far the best character on that show. I STILL quote him……………..god I’m old.
Anywho, I do wonder one thing. Since this is “updated”, I wonder if they will ever actually shoot anyone. For those not old enough to know, one of the corniest, but somehow lovable, things about the TV show was that no matter what weapons they had or how many of them there were or how stationary the targets where, they never actually shot anyone!!
