Two actors, two faces and a two sided story. I smell an Oscar nod for Gosling…I see audience rejection of the film.
It’s October. A time when Ghoulies, Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties roam the earth. But if you start seeing the ghost of a World War II Japanese kamikaze fighter pilot, you’re probably Enoch Brae, the central character of Restless. And that’s not a bad place to be. Enoch is an odd kid. If your name is Enoch [...]
“Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots” get their day on the big screen in Real Steel, a movie that transcends the one-joke premise and is instead a heartwarming, fist-pumping mechanized fairy tale of a father and son coming together amid some of the baddest technology you’ll ever wish was really available. Not to bad for a [...]
In a summer of loud and mostly dumb movies, Joe Carnahan’s ‘A-Team’ is potentially the loudest and the dumbest, with the surprise hat trick of also being deliriously fun. That’s right, a mega-budget, popcorn actioner based off a terribly dippy 80’s television show actually delivers the summer fun. Color me surprised to find an energetic [...]
Five new stills have been released from the set of Joe Carnahan’s high-octane take on the iconic 80′s TV series. The A-Team follows four veterans of the Iraq War, now fugitives after being framed for a crime. The all-star cast includes Liam Neeson as Col. John “Hannibal” Smith, The Hangover‘s Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton [...]
I think it’s safe to say that as far as aesthetics go, director Joe Carnahan isn’t straying too far away from the source material when it comes to his remake of The A-Team. On the right, you’ll find the first photograph of the new A-Team van, which looks pretty much identical to the original from [...]
Casting continues on as Jessica Biel and Sharlto Copley jump into “The A-Team”. Sharlto Copley, better known for his lead role in the hit summer science fiction film District 9, takes on the role of Captain (Howling Mad) Murdock. Biel, though still going through final negotiations, is set to play an Army general pursuing the [...]
Chalk this one up as a huge rumor until we inevitably hear an update about it within the next few days. Sharlto Copley, rising to fame like a shooting star from his role as Wikus Van Der Merwe in District 9, may be playing Captain Howling Mad Murdock in Joe Carnahan’s A-Team update. This news [...]
The A-Team was seriously before my time. In fact, I’ve never even caught an episode of the show in reruns, and that says something because I watched a lot of TV as a child. So it consistently astounds me that the new film update of The A-Team keeps pushing forward — apparently a big fan [...]
The Hangover’s Bradley Cooper is in negotiations to play Lt. Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck in Joe Carnahan’s big-screen adaptation of The A-Team. What, that’s not enough? How about Liam Neeson (who is quite the master of bad-assery in Taken) playing John ‘Hannibal’ Smith? Based on the ’80s TV favorite, the film will keep the basic premise [...]
