Our good buddy Frosty over at Collider scored an exclusive interview with The A-Team director John Singleton while waiting for his car the other day.
The biggest news? Singleton wants Woody Harrelson to play Murdock in the film. At this time, no one has been cast. The movie is not intended to be a farce. And everyone that joins the project will be signed for multiple films.
Singleton stated, "The A-Team is going. It's not a comic movie farce like Starsky & Hutch, it's kind of in the tradition of the 80's action pictures, the man's movies like "Die HardPredatorCommando", or even "Lethal Weapon" - more so than anything else. The action is very serious, but there is humor. That's what we are going for. I don't know who is in the cast yet, so all this bullshit of who is saying who is this person and who is... nobody is playing Mr. T - the character's name is B.A. Baracus, he will have a Mohawk and there is a moment in the movie where he actually gets the Mohawk cause he's going crazy. And I don't know who is in the cast yet...but I do know that the only person I want right now is, that I really, really want is Woody Harrelson to play Murdock - the guy who is crazy but he's kind of real smart, a jack of all trades. That's the only person I really, really want."
