Mr. T Pities The Fool Who Thinks They Can Remake the A-Team! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mr T isn't happy that The A-Team is being remade for the big screen.

The hit US show, about a group of military veterans fighting off evil tyrants, ran for five seasons in the 1980s.

Mr T, 56, who played BA Baracus, doesn't think the new cast will be able to recreate the magic.

'I pity the fools who try to remake The A-Team,' he tells Now.

'You can’t duplicate a Rembrandt. Whoever plays me has some tough shoes to fill. But it’s more than being tough – it’s my charisma and everything. I’ll let my fans judge the movie.'

Mr T, real name Laurence Tureaud, thinks the cult series still stands the test of time.

'I’m addicted to watching reruns of The A-Team,' he adds.

The A-Team movie is due for release in 2010.

I agree with Mr. T. You just can't replace that cast. They were perfect.

I think Hollywood should stop remaking everything! I didn't even attempt to watch the Dukes of Hazzard movie, and the new Knight Rider series. Why, because I grew up on all the originals, and they have their place in TV history. If they want to give these shows a new audience, try syndicating the originals, not remaking. I feel Mr. T in this one. Plus, George Peppard is gone, and you can't replace him.

Brian Damage · 04-18-2009, 09:48 PM

I agree with all of you. I hate remakes.

Yeah, I just can't picture Ice Cube or Ving Rhames as B.A. Barackus. (Both rumored for the part)

Say what?? I can't either.

Poor George Peppard must be spinning in his grave at this news.

isiahthomas · 06-12-2009, 01:17 PM

I think Ving Rhames would make a good Mr T. I haven't watched The A Team in a long time. I wanna get all of the episodes on dvd. I saw one of the seasons of the show on dvd at the mall awhile ago. I wonder if it's still there because i wanna buy it.

I think the remakes are a sad attempt to get today's generation to watch the "classic" shows by adding stuff that they think will be funny in this era. Very sad. Whenver I realize that a new movie is a remake of a really old film that I didn't know existed, I always try to rent the older movie and usually I'll end up enjoying that movie more.
