Something tells me this movie is going to go the way of The Three Stooges.
Both films haven't halted development... but they will.

Sexually assaulted a reporter is a bit of an extreme accusation. The video shows him joking around pretending to be a dog and dry humping the girl for a few seconds. Its not like he pins her down and grinds on her. It's completely harmless.

You mean the retard who sexually assaulted that reporter? It's just the A-Team, I guess they don't deserve any better.

Dude, no one else would be able to pull it off besides Rampage. He's got the wit, and attitude to pull off B.A., any one else would have been to dry or looked real goofy. You should see Midnight Meat Train, he's funny as f*ck in it, but tuff as nails. Rampage is the sh*t, good pick. Capt.Murdock is going to be a pain in the ass to cast, hopefully not Jim Carrey, though for some reason I can't see many other people doing it.

This guy at least embodies the badass persona (authentic) that the original Mr. T did, much more so than wannabe candyass rapper Common who was considered. Common is used as a stoic background, glorified extra (see American Gangster & Terminator: Salvation)
With Liam Neeson as Hannibal & Bradley Cooper as Face, this reboot is looking good so far...

well he looks like Mr. T, but how the f*ck do they get Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson, two solid actors in their fields, then they get an MMA fighter who cant act

isn't that the dude that humped the female reporter as she was conducting an interview with him? if so - then no thanks... i'll be passing on this movie. i like cooper and neeson, but if this is "that" guy, i'll be skipping this movie altogether.

Wrong choice for this role! Jackson is annoying both in/out the octagon. I think Common or Terry Crews would have been perfect for this role.

I like Joe Carnahan so I'm still on board for this movie. Not real sure about this casting choice though.

The cast is looking good. And I am especially happy with the Rampage Jackson pick for B.A. Still keeping my fingers crossed that this turns out to be good. If it is anywhere near what G.I. Joe was I'll be happy.
