Yep, there it is, kickin' up dust and driving around the Canadian backcountry. Splash News has landed the first few photos of the iconic black van from The A-Team being chased around British Columbia, Canada. Yes, we already know who's in the cast, yes we already know that this is shooting, yes we already know that Joe Carnahan is directing, and yes, now we know the van is back. There's really nothing more to say about this. I mean, it's a van, and it's supposedly got the A-Team in the back of it, but they're probably not there in this shot. Splash ends this the best: "There's no catching this testosterone-fueled, four-wheeled hellcat."
This Joe Carnahan (Smokin' Aces, Pride and Glory) directed and Michael Brandt / Derek Haas (Wanted) written adaptation of the 1980's TV show is about a group of ex-Army Special Forces who work as soldiers while being on the run from the military for a crime they didn't commit. Starring as the elite A-Team are: Sharlto Copley as Capt. "Howling Mad" Murdock, Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck, Liam Neeson as Col. John "Hannibal" Smith, and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson as Sgt. Bosco "B.A." Baracus. 20th Century Fox has already set a June 11th, 2010 release date next year. Stay tuned for updates as they arrive!

lets see now...with the 8000 or so rounds of ammo expended during most every episode and no one getting killed, is this really going to fly on screen?? I mean, at least when it was on TV it was free...now they want people to actually pay $$$ to see the same crap on the big screen?????? sounds like another straight to DVD ...

I think its a great cast - and you know what - the original was campy, so don't have cinematic expectations... go in for the fun of watching Quinton Rampage Jackson, one of the funniest fuckers in sports mess around with Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson... I slept in A-Team Sheets and Mr. T was my hero.. so F-YA A-TEAM

If they do it as a comedy they will be safe, make the fight scenes like the battle royale in Anchorman and they have dynamite! it doesnt need to be all grounded and serious Jason Bourne stuff....
