  |    by: films

You’ve heard about the new A-Team film starring Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson and Jessica Biel right? If you haven’t, then you clearly haven’t been reading FilmShaft on a regular basis. The film based on the cult 80’s series The A-Team, drops into theatres this Summer and it looks set to rock the house

For those of you not familiar with The A-Team, 20th Century Fox have released four new TV spots via Yahoo, each introducing a character from the team. The spots are pretty cool and each features a little unseen footage too, so they’re well worth a look. Check out each explosive clip 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.

US Release: 11th June 2010
UK Release: 30th July 2010
Australian Release: 10th June 2010
