UFC champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has been picked to play B.A. Baracus in creator and producer Stephen J. Cannell’s feature film update to his hit 1980s action series THE A-TEAM. Baracus was originally portrayed by actor, pro-wrestler and pop icon Mr. T.
Jackson, who won out over several hip-hop candidates including 50 Cent and The Game, joins a cast that already includes Liam Neeson as John “Hannibal” Smith and Bradley Cooper as Templeton “Faceman” Peck.
The original A-TEAM, which aired from 1983 to 1987, was a campy action comedy series that followed four eccentric Vietnam War veterans-turned-mercenaries who had been framed for a crime they didn’t commit. While running from the military, they applied their professional training to helping out the innocent. This usually entailed a lot of shoot-from-the-hip gunplay where no one got shot and montages involving the tricking out of various vehicles with armor and more guns for more non-lethal mayhem.
This is a huge break for the charismatic MMA fighter who has so far only had minor roles in several forgettable DTV productions. The new A-TEAM movie is being built up by 20th Century Fox as a more mature franchise. They’re doing a good job so far. Ridley Scott is on board as producer and Joe Carnahan, of NARC and SMOKIN’ ACES fame will be lending his stylized approach to the direction of the film.
As for Jackson, he’s no Mr. T (nobody is) but there is no doubt he’ll be able to handle any action. A quick look at some of his UFC highlights (see below) reveals that Jackson is a dynamic and skilled fighter with the natural showmanship and personality to be an action star.

Rampage is hillarious. Good choice IMO.
-
he's an idiot
-
Have you ever heard him TALK? He's a great fighter but that's it. 50cent would have been a much better pick IMO.

endless fire from Ak-47s and nobody even gets hurt, but when the bullets come close people fly through the air like hit by a car?
::) ::)

It's already been refuted by Rampages management. He is not playing BA, although he would have done a good job.

no way, anyone can build a FLAK gun from scraps of old cars, a coffee machine and a cigarette box, and that's way more effective than all the AK-47s that never run out of ammunition you have in the back of your van. ;D ;D

apparently, in early 80s california, every small town was run like feudal-system europe by a different wealthy crime-lord, who abused the townspeople as he pleased.....and before the A-team arrived....was completely immune to any prior police interference.........as a matter of fact, there were no cops.........you were able to conduct little wars complete with machine gun fire, landmines, and grenades going off in broad daylight.

EVERY show was exactly the same, and when everythings over, not the police arrives but the military, but without weapons, only with normal cars.
worst show ever. the characters sucked as well.

From the Coach, aka Intenseone:
"Rampage is not sure whether he got the part yet. We train together 2-3 times per week and am speak more often than that. It has not been made official."
-

-
:-\
why re hash a team....?
that aside using rampage... is a clear indication they are going to RUIN it
like they always do with rehash movies and comic movies
