×The A-Team Script Read - CanMag
I used to love The A-Team. As a kid, I didn't realize just how lucky this bunch of characters were. Sure, they sustained injuries, but bullets seemed to miraculously swerve around them. Incredible!
I can't remember the last time I've seen an episode, but I think it would look a whole bunch more ridiculous now. Or would it?
The A-Team Script
Clint over at Moviehole has alerted us to his script review for The A-Team and, though it's trying, it still seems a little too A-Team for a film.
The story takes place in 2003, shortly before the United States' invasion of Baghdad - the classic "Shock and Awe" campaign we all remember. We meet Lieutenant Templeton "Face" Peck who is only described as a "damned good-looking man." He's at a base in the desert with a bunch of British soldiers, scamming them out of money with the help of American Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith - an older gentlemen who we learn has been divorced for six years.
They're called by General Henry Garner, a 64-year old with chopped gray hair and a golf tan. They meet their newest partner, Sgt. B.A. Baracas, who is a 22-year-old walking steel wall with two-percent body fat. Now, is it just me, or does this NOT sound like Mr. T? I mean - if we're going to replace Mr. T with someone like Tyrese then honestly, what's the point of having an "A-Team" movie?
The review goes on to point out just how involved with Iraq the A-Team becomes. Can't say I'm feeling it just yet, but maybe I should Tivo a few A-Team reruns to be sure.
