TRAILERS
First Unofficial Trailer for Joe Carnahan's The A-Team Leaks
by Alex Billington

Source: SlashFilm
Apparently this trailer wasn't supposed to be online until later this weekend, but the first official trailer for The A-Team has ended up online, courtesy of The Film Stage. You better catch this quick or else it's going to be gone and we're going to have to wait until it's officially released this weekend. The A-Team stars D9's Sharlto Copley, Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, Patrick Wilson & Jessica Biel. Yes, this looks as badass (just about as badass as badass can be) as you're expecting it should, which is just awesome. They parachute out in a freakin' tank? Oh hell yes! "I love it when a plan comes together." Enjoy!
Watch the first trailer for Joe Carnahan's The A-Team:
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. What did you think of the new trailer?

Did that last scene show Bradley Cooper shooting down a plane from a tank as it is being parachuted down?? Thought so....pass! I'll probably catch the DVD.

Looks like a fun ride. Though for the Mr. T role they should have cast that big guy who played the President in Idiocracy. That guy is absolutely ripped and he's hilarious.

So you say it's badass, huh? I believe in Alex Billington, so I'm probably going to see this.

Since there's (two) Jessica Biels, staring in the movie (re-read the first paragraph), that's the ONLY reason I'd watch this. Or I can wait ten years and pick up the DVD, in a bin somewhere, for $3.99.

No dididididi din di din din din din din!? Used to watch that show most saturday afternoons at my grans house, it's nearly as daft as the Iron Man origin in the film, but some how it was quite amusing for an 8 year old. Looked okay til the flying tank, they should have saved that for the cinema.

That end scene was the final nail in the coffin. No thanks. I'll stick with the original. HH

Not too shabby! People gripe about everything these days, I'll be seeing this film. I'm sure it'll be priceless to see Neeson and Copley in their roles!!

looked solid till that ridiculous last sequence that was over the top.....it's cheesy scenes like that which can take you totally out of the movie

"The A-Team stars D9's Sharlto Copley, Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Jessica Biel, and Jessica Biel." hell yeah, 2 Jessica Biels

Hahahah this could be either intentionally cheesy rediculously over the top amazing, or a complete way TOO over the top rediculous disaster. But I gotta say I barely even noticed that was Copley there for a second, that guy has a seriously amazing acting career ahead of him.

well i really wanted to get all hyped with this trailer but i think gotta wait for a better quality one. but my main concern they went a bit over the line action scenes and kinda negated the first half of the trailers positive waves. i kinda felt i was rewatching Charlies Angels 2 the cast is pretty solid especially liked hannibal and BA Baracus 😀 Face could have been better its not bad but could be better and murdock i couldnt get the crazy shithead pilot from him too 😀 but then again seing that Black red striped hell on wheel and the soundtrack should be enough to bring back some good old memories 😀 we ll wait and see 😀

LMAO@ the people saying that tank seen was way too over the top do you even know what the a team is lol that is like complaining TDK was to serious an dark

Ridiculous...

The cheesy original worked only as a kids show so I can see that the tone in this movie is very similar. Still looks like a disaster waiting to be released.

Yes. The tank is midair and they're fighting off jets or something. Yes. Yes. And more YES.

God most people cannot enjoy a movie for what it simply is? The A-Team will be a fun action movie. Just take it for what it is. The cast in great Liam Neeson, and Bradley Cooper and act, Sharlto Copley is a good up and runner, as for Rampage Jackson well we'll see.
Xerxex on Jan 8, 2010

I hope they write Rampage some good stuff 'cause the guy's hilarious in real life.

I totally agree with Nelson, don't you people remember the show? in every episode they ended up fabricating tanks and booby traps, from scraps in whatever farm they were saving that week. This looks about as ridiculous as the show would have been if they had the same budget. This won't win any awards, so don't treat it like a serious movie.Enjoy the explosions, laugh at the jokes and eat your fuckin popcorn.

It's the A-Team people, of course it's going to be over the top action. I used to watch it back in the 80's, but it's something cool when you're 10 years old or younger, watched it in the mid 90's and I wondering what the hell was I thinking. (just like Dukes of Hazzard) Dont expecting it to be on the top 10 of the year list, but they casted it well. I'll check it out for the hell of it.

@ Theotherbluth, I think imagination is dying for those who can't buy a tank parachuting and destroying a jet, but thankfully some can!

It cracks me up that people are complaining about the trailer being over the top. Ummm, did anybody here WATCH the A-Team? I defy you to find me an episode that contained even an ounce of subtlety.

its so fucking awesome that the guy from district 9 is going to be in this movie, this is the main reason i want to see this

What is it with you and telling us what happens in the trailer? You know maybe, just maybe, we'd like to watch the trailer and be surprised ourselves.
Ravster on Jan 8, 2010

so why don't you watch the trailers before reading then? figure it out.
lego on Jan 8, 2010

Ravster, don't be upset. Alex was so excited when writing the post he mentions Jessica Biel's name twice and notes that 20th Century Fox has already set a June 11th, 2010 release date next year. So what did we celebrate on January 1st?

I'm not a big fan of the tv-series... but I honestly think that this would have benefitted from having MrT return to that roll. I think fans and general moviegoers would have dug that trailer and the film more. WOuld have been a smart and cool choice.

aww man this looks awful n i had high hopes

At least the trailer is back online now. Why was it even deleted in the first place. Prediction: The A-Team will be the biggest non sequel of 2010.

I Think the majority of the comments are from people who weren't even a twinkle in their dad's eye when the Origiinal A-Team series was on TV - so should just enjoy the trailer while sucking on their pacifiers. In todays action ridden cinema where almost every action scene tries to better the last - we are talking about The A-Team. The Best and The Baddest - whatever and however they do it, is fine with me. @ 3. Yes it was a Tank - enjoy the DVD, at home, with your mum. @ 4. In what Universe does Terry Crews even remotely represent even a shadow of the B.A Character. @ 6. Is that when you'll also be rooting around the bins for scraps of food and clothes? Ass. @ 11. I Blame the crystal Meth your mum smoked while they were pregnant with you, hence your spelling issue. @ 16. You tell 'em! @ 20. Tobi? really, is that your name. Your parents must really love you.

It looks like a movie you'd rent because nothing else is on, and after watching it you tell yourself: "I guess I could have seen that in the theater. I guess."
Quanah on Jan 9, 2010

@ taro baap is that your real name,& to answer your question of course it's not it's just a user name from anime & manga i like called naruto, & the a-team trailer like the tv show of the 80's is still a load of bollocks.

Sometimes you are in the mood for some good, dumb fun. This looks like it will fit the bill nicely. Tongues are firmly in cheek here and I for one am looking forward to a good laugh when this gets to cinemas.

Awesome trailer. Sharlto Copley as Murdock is freakin' perfect!! Alex, I never do this, but the way you worded your summary post trailer, you made it sound like Carnahan directed "Pride and Glory" as well - he only wrote the screenplay....
Conrad on Jan 9, 2010

It reminded me too much of how cheesy GI Joe was so so far I think I hate it. If Rampage was gonna bail on UFC he should do it for a good movie at least.

@ 48 RAMPAGE FOR LUKE CAGE.
tobi,leader of the akatsuki on Jan 9, 2010

That looks like the biggest stinking pile of shit! The only reason I would even consider this (dvd or on tv when it premiers) would be to watch it for Scharlto Copley.
Stefarooh on Jan 10, 2010
52
I had high hopes for this....being a huge fan of The A Team growing up in the 80's...and i thought the casting was great (perhaps Rampage Jackson being the only weak link)...but that last shot of the parachuting tank (WTF??) has put this in the G.I Joe school of shit blockbusters! Up to that point the trailer was a little underwhelming but i cut it some slack because its the first peak at the film. Dont get me wrong...if it comes out and everyone is giving it rave reviews then ill be a happy man and...but right now im just afraid that Hollywood has ruined another great opportunity to make an awesome film with sloppy writing and bad CGI!!!

The Sweetie Man is in this???? Where is Sam Worthington?
Prawn on Jan 10, 2010

A lot of people will go out and see this film and compare it to the TV series of the 80s. Scharlto Copley may pull it off as Murdock, Liam Neeson as John Hannibal Smith sounds right. I wonder if there is a cameo from Mr T at all it would be nice not bad for a first trailer hope there is a better trailer forthcoming.

FLYING TANK HELLS YEAH IM IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha Good casting if u ask me.

It looks good. I wish my brother was around he would definitely love this. I'll go see it just to honor his memory. He loved that show when he was a kid. It actually looks better than I thought it would.

Bruce Willis was first considered for the role of Hannibal Smith. Common, Ice Cube and The Game were all rumored for the role of BA Baracus. Although Liam Neeson looks like a good choice for Hannibal Smith.

I only see one Jessica Biel. Me thinks the horny guys are reading two Jessica Biels. Before some tard gets on here and claims that Alex fixed the post, ask yourself why did he not fix the, "June 11th 2010 release date next year" part?

I'm down with all the casting except Neeson. It just doesn't look like a convincing fit.

Guys if Liam can pull off Taken then he can pull off A-Team p.s. What the heck was wrong with the tank scene I saw absolutely nothing wrong with it

WOW. Loved the trailer very much. Its gonna be a rocking movie and i think with those renowned actors its gonna be a blockbuster. Thanks for sharing.

I'd be excited, but it has Bradley Cooper. I love the other 3, but I don't think I can stomach another acting "performance" from Cooper

I think after watching the trailer, i am really impressed. I think i am gonna watch the movie with great interest. I love these types of action movies. Thanks for sharing.

Have watched the movie already, and would keep on referring this to my friends who have not watched the movie yet. It's a great team up of actors.
