Following the release of an iffy looking bootleg trailer last week, I’m pleased to present you with the first official trailer for The A-Team, starring Liam Neeson as Col John ‘Hannibal’ Smith, Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck, Sharlto Copley as Captain ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson as Sgt Bosco ‘B.A.’ Baracus. Jessica Biel co-stars.
While I wasn’t what you’d call an avid fan of the series, as a child I did manage to catch the odd re-run here and there on TV, and based on my limited knowledge of the cult hit I’d say director Joe Carnahan has done a pretty good job in bringing the boys to life for their first big screen outing. Clocking in at 1:42, the trailer gives just a taste of the crazy shit that this film promises to deliver, as well as also treating fan’s to the cigar-chewing Hannibal’s famous catchphrase, “I love it when a plan comes together.” So do I Neeson! Check out the trailer below:
1980s TV action gets a reboot with this new version of The A-Team, which shifts the Vietnam vet backstory to a group of Iraq War vets who become mercenaries for hire. Joe Carnahan (Smokin’ Aces) directs from a script by G.I. Joe’s Skip Woods. Liam Neeson heads up the crew as Hannibal, the brains of the operation, with Bradley Cooper as Face, UFC star Quinton “Rampage” Jackson filling in for Mr. T as B.A. Baracus, and District 9′s breakout star, Sharlto Copley, inheriting the unhinged role of “Howling Mad” Murdock. Jessica Biel also co-stars.
