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.
