October 14, 2004 — Stephen J Cannell, who created The A-Team show, told This is London that he would like Mr. T to appear for a cameo in the film:
"Mr T and I had lunch last week, and I'd really like to have him in the movie, although we haven't begun casting.
"I always think it's nice to see the stars of the old show in cameo roles in the movie.
"But obviously he won't be playing BA Baracus."
The new movie will be more serious and "less cartoony" than the light-hearted
TV series, in the vein of action movies Die Hard and Lethal Weapon.
Mr Cannell said: "Not to denigrate the TV show, but nobody ever died.
"We drove cars off cliffs and people got out and walked away. We're not going to do that (in the movie).
"In this the tone is more dangerous ... you can really die. It's very tense and exciting." |
