Report: John Singleton pulls out of directing “The A-Team” remake…

“Boyz in The Hood” and “Shaft” director John Singleton has been confirmed and attached to directing “The A-Team” remake but has pulled out of directing the film because Twentieth Century Fox wanted more time to write the script, so they pushed “The A-Team” film back to 2010.

For the past year or so, Singleton seemed committed into directing “The A-Team” remake until now. Singleton had plot ideas that he wanted the film to not be a comedy at all but to be more like 80’s action movies. While there was no cast for “The A-Team” film, Singleton approached Woody Harrelson to play the role of Murdoch but Harrelson never confirmed the role. It has also been long rumoured that either Ice Cube or Tyrese Gibson will play B.A. Baracus.

That’s kind of too bad. I was rooting for Singleton to make the A-Team remake ’cause I think he’s the only director that can make a really good “A-Team” movie knowing what he did to the “Shaft” remake. Now that Singleton is out, I don’t want this film made at all.

Report: Tyrese Gibson confirmed to play B.A. Baracus in “The A-Team” remake…

Male model superstar and actor Tyrese Gibson announced he is confirmed to play B.A. Baracus in the upcoming “A-Team” remake directed by John Singleton…

A horrible choice for B.A. in my opinion. I think Ice Cube would have been perfect.

A muscular hunk kind of B.A. would suck.

Mr. T was big and huge, and Tyrese just doesn’t have Mr. T’s look.

I smell another bomber and this might be another “wait for DVD” thing…

Report: John Singleton’s “The A-Team” remake gets a release date…

20th Century Fox has just confirmed a release date for “The A-Team” remake which will be helmed by John Singleton, the movie will be released June 12th in 2009. John Singleton is really dying to have Woody Harrelson play the role of Murdock. And I agree, Woody Harrelson is a perfect choice for Murdock since the two men look almost exactly alike.

Singleton says the script is completed and finalized. The A-Team script is written by the same guys who wrote the movie “3:10 To Yuma”. The film will NOT be a comedy/action like “Starsky and Hutch”. Singleton wants “The A-Team Movie” to be a strictly action flick like how the 80’s action movies were.

No one has been casted in the “A-Team” remake yet, it’s just that Singleton’s first choice for Murdock is Woody Harrelson. As once reported on MTV Movies Blog, Woody Harrelson already talked with John Singleton about it but has not signed with him yet.

It was rumoured that Ice Cube may play the role of B.A. Baracus taking over Mr. T. Ice Cube ain’t a bad choice either.

I’m still wondering who will be good for “Faceman” Peck and Hannibal. Finding an actor for “Faceman” won’t be too hard but it might be tough to find someone for Hannibal.  For Hannibal, they gotta find an actor to match the white hair and that unique smile with that cigar.

For “Faceman” Peck I’d say give that role to Steve Carrell.

Steve Martin for Hannibal maybe?
