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.

I have personally seen the pilot episode of the new Knight Rider (2008 TV series) and there’s only one thing I wanna say – it Rocks!!! The car (KITT) was awesome and had me drooling all over for one. Well, I guess now, with this news, I’ll be drooling some more as NBC is ordering four more  scripts of the of the show from Universal Media Studios.

This new Knight Rider follows the 1982 TV series of the same title. The series stars Justin Bruening as Mike Traceur, the estranged son of Michael Knight, who in turn becomes the new Knight Rider. The series also stars Deanna Russo as Sarah Graiman, Traceur’s former girlfriend/current love interest. Sarah is daughter of Charles Graiman, played by Bruce Davison, creator of new generation KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand), voiced by Val Kilmer.
