I have an idea for a fillum
And I'm posting it on here in the hope and expectation that you'll all act as vicars and support me in this when Hollywood steals my idea and walks rough-shod over me.

Right. Picture this. A crack commando team...

I KNOW you've seen it before. This is the fillum representation and besides, George Peppard is dead.

Okay, so brass tacks are that I want an A-Team film. I do.

And do you know what... I've almost casted it.

How do you like this? George Clooney as Hannibal Smith. Brad Pitt (a la 12 Monkeys and Fight Club) as Howlin' Mad Murdoch. As BA? You couldn't look any further than the original Mr T. You couldn't...

But I can't cast Face. Who? WHO? And what do you reckon to Clooney and Pitt? Eh?

Oh, the plot... Well, I thought some multi-national corporation could be fucking up some New Mexican village. The head-villager, enervated by this bullying, approaches the silver-headed, British voiced (Alan Rickman?) main villain and ends up dead.

His daughter, a fine bit of jail-bait who'll catch Face-man's eye, approaches a waiter with a slightly plasticky face to bemoan her, and her village's loss, only to have the reveal as Hannibal Smith who promises to help...

BA advises not willing to travel by plane. Murdoch drugs his milk. They turn up in New Mexican village via a slight run-in with some junior villains who are thrown about by an awakened and infuriated BA. Daughter shows Face the ropes and promises him money for the help and meanwhile, Hannibal plots and BA chases Murdoch.

SOMEHOW A-Team are captured by bad-guys and locked in a weapons-grade munitions and peanut butter factory fully fitted with an oxy-acetylene torch. A-Team build a peanut-powered jet-bomber based on the chassis of a WW2 Sherman Tank left lying about.

Murdoch flies the jet-bomber on a seemingly suicidal flight whilst Alan Rickman clings onto his ramp. Luckily he is delivered to a landing pad where Hannibal can put his leather-gloved mitt on his shoulder, spin him around and clout him good-style on his fizzog.

A-Team win. Girl ditches Face. No money changes hands and the Military Police hove into view in 1970's olive-green US sedans.

All cheer.

Whaddoyou think?

Face was always an odd role
Owen Wilson should be cast as Face -- other than that -- great stuff. Get Kevin Smith to direct it.

I was wondering about Wilson
He has the charm... But is he one of 'Clitt's' (Clooney/ Pitt/ C Affleck/ MDamon) gang or one of ASowl (ASandler/ Owen & Luke Wilson's). Methinks there could be some Hollywood hi-jinks to contend with as the rival gangs face off...

I've just thought of another film plot. Jesus I'm good.

Face.
Hugh Jackman. He sure is Pretty

As for B.A I would have thought Mr T would be too old in compaarison to the rest,
Maybe another hard nut, I suggest Jason Statham or Vinnie Jones.
