I know, I know, you may be asking why the heck am I putting A-Team movie news here.  Well as most of you know, Marvel did make an A-Team comic back in '84.  John Singleton is set to direct.  Who will be in it?  It hasn't been cast yet but there are some names being thrown around. 

With every single other old tv show being made into a movie, it's about time the A-Team get their chance at a revival.

Here's what E! Online had to say:

As reported, the movie will follow the basic recipe of the 1983-87 TV series: Take four ex-military men; add one war crime they didn't commit; mix in chases, pursuits and more chases.

Given the source material, Singleton has promised an action movie, a serious action movie--"wall to wall kicking ass and talking shit," as he put it to Collider.com. The film presently is sans actors, A-list, B-team or otherwise, as Singleton himself has made very clear.

Singleton did allow that he "really, really want[s]" Woody Harrelson to play "Howling Mad" Murdoch, the sanity challenged pilot given life on the TV series by Dwight Schultz.

In the interview, conducted in January, Singleton sounded a lot like a man who's been a little bit hounded by fans demanding to know who's going to play Mr. T.

"Nobody is playing Mr. T--the character's name is B.A. Baracus," the filmmaker reminded.

And, no, before you bother Mr. Singleton again, B.A. Baracus hasn't been cast yet, either. Ice Cube, however, has thrown his mohawk into the ring.
