Remember when I said it was the dumbest idea ever to put some UFC fighter in charge of the role of B.A. Baracus in the upcoming remake of The A-Team?
Well, as it turns out, it may not be that bad an idea after all. Check it out above–the pic with the text is old B.A., otherwise known as Mr. T. The other pic is NEW B.A., Quintin “Rampage” Jackson. You may well notice that, well, they look pretty darn similar.
Sure, it’s not an EXACT translation. That’s never going to happen. But there’s something to be said for “close enough”, and this just might qualify, or at least it does from where I’m sitting.
Take a look at the two pics then hit the comments section. Do you think this new B.A. is going to work out all right? Or is his lack of acting experience going to be too noticeable?

Word over at Aint it Cool News is saying that the forthcoming A-Team movie, based on the popular 80’s action show, has been pushed back to 2010 at the earliest. And if that doesn’t sound like a good sign for the project, attached director John Singleton (Boyz in the Hood, Four Brothers) has backed out, possibly due Fox’s official announcement that they’re developing and rewriting the script even more. The film is rumoured to star Bruce Willis as Hannibal, Ice Cube as BA, and Woody Harrelson as Murdoch.
To be honest, it looks as if Fox are backing away from the project, and rightly so. Nostalgia doesn’t necessarily mean people are going to fork out good money for a revival. Look at the diminishing ratings for the new Knight Rider TV show, for example. And, already this month we hear that a planned He-Man film got the axe. Will the A-Team movie go the same route? It’s probably best for all if it does.
