The First A-Team Set Footage Hits!
In the original, four Vietnam vets convicted of armed robbery escape from military prison and became do-gooder mercenaries.
The Middle East will replace Vietnam as the place the four did their tour of duty, but Carnahan said the origin story is the jumping-off point.
The original series, which ran from 1983-87 and starred George Peppard, Mr. T, Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz, followed an unofficial team of Vietnam vets who will stop at nothing to get the bad guys. Sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit, these four commandos escaped from a maximum-security stockade and now survive in the Los Angeles underground as soldiers of fortune.
Stephen J. Cannell, who created the show, will produce the movie with Jules Daly, Ridley Scott, with Tony Scott executive producing through their Scott Free banner.
Also producing are and Stephen J. Cannell, the latter of whom created the original TV series.
The A-Team stars Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley, Jessica Biel, Quinton Jackson and Yul Vazquez. It comes to theaters June 11, 2010 from 20th Century Fox.
The A-Team was released June 11th, 2010 and stars Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Biel, Quinton Jackson, Sharlto Copley, Patrick Wilson, Gerald McRaney, Henry Czerny. The film is directed by Joe Carnahan.

I wish they would have had more Sharlto Copley in the interview.
The Fallen nailed it, you can't expect it to be winning oscars, just enjoy it for the over the top fun action movie it will be.

The Narrator: The Better Man
Sorry guys but I believe in Mr. Carnahan. And the cast is pretty darn awesome. this isn't going to be a great story wise movie. It will be a bit campy, a bit fun, and a lot of action. Just fun in a way. Can't wait.

While I thought Quinton nailed the role of BA in that scene, I was hoping for more out of Bradley Cooper in that interview. I hope they put on a good show in the final cut.

No it obviously doesn't. And it's totally not the reason you're getting all upset and saying gay ass sh*t to me. Whatever, it seems like you have some serious issues to deal with, so I'll leave you to them.

Comrade, maybe if this was the 90's I would agree with you, but these days no movies have killed anyone's career.
