The fugitives who always have a plan and drive a cool, souped-up black van are back, and we pity the fool who hasn’t seen the trailer for the 2010 big-screen remake of Stephen J. Cannell’s and Frank Lupo’s action-packed seminal ‘80s TV show ‘The A-Team.’
Not much reinvention here as the actors -- Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck, Liam Neeson as Col. John ‘Hannibal’ Smith, Sharlto Copley as Capt. ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson as Sgt. Bosco ‘B.A.’ Baracus and new addition Jessica Biel as Lt. Sosa -- don’t seem to stray too far from the core concept of the characters. Smart for director Joe Carnahan. The original Murdock (Dwight Schultz) and Faceman (Dirk Benedict) will apparently make appearances as well. Subtle, or not so subtle, links to the past are usually cool. Over-the-top, a bit snarky, explosions galore ... just like old times. But what do you think of the trailer?
