Okay, can somebody bring me some A) News I wanna see about Black Cinema B) Something that doesn't make me want to chuck this blog in a dumpster? Jeesh, a woman can only take so much!
Rapper-actor Ice Cube is reportedly in talks to join the cast of the John Singleton-directed adaptation of The A-Team. Though this is not yet a done deal, there are few other bankable actors out there would could semi-convincingly replace Mr. T as Sergeant B.A. Baracus.
Here's what he told Blackfilm on the character:
I wouldn't try to duplicate what Mr. T did, but I will have the same impact on you when you were little watching the TV show. I'm going to bring my own flavor to it and I am going to do the mohawk.

When asked if the role is "definite" for him:
I don't know. They want me to do it if all the business works out right. I was a fan as a kid and that would be, not a dream come true, but it's definitely a good thing to do and I would put it on my resume for sure.

LOL, I know, I know, I know! It's just so sad. Every two steps up are 10 back. Lets just hope this film never sees the light of day/or the dark of the theater.
I'm just laughing out of sheer disgust and speechlessness.
I have no words.
Uhm, but might it be a step up for Mr O'Shea (who is one of the FBD, thank you very much)?
I mean after the tragedy that is "First Sunday"?
Hey IW missed you girl, happy new year! check the blog, I have the trailer for Assata Shakur movie up. Her story needs to be told, but damn not by just anybody1
I haven't been paying much attention to these types of motion pictures lately. I've been trying to get caught up on older films that I haven't seen and with that in mind I'll suggest The Quiet One (1948).

This is a very good film that seems to have been forgotten.
IW - Happy Friday 2 U. I really love your sight. You are funny, intelligent and extremely insightful. Your knowledge of the film underside, both black and white is deep. That being said I just gotta say - I know that I should be way beyond crushes but...DAY-UUMM!!!that pic of Cube. Ya Sista for Life - Unless I marrycubeinwhichcaseIwouldn'tbeabletoseeyouasmuchbecauseIwouldbespendingallmyfreetimewithcubeandwewouldbetravelingtheworldviamyyachtwhichbeboughtmefromthemoniesfromhislatestfilmbecauehelovesmeso....oh sorry kind of got distracted by cubecauseheissogorgeousandihavelovehimforsolong...stop it!!

@Shelia: it it does hit the dark, I won't be sitting in it! I'm with danielle.
@Tayo: LMAO! You might be right, nothing could be worse than the movies he's come up with lately!
@hottnikz: WHERE have you been?! Don't ever do me like that again, lol :-) I'll check it out, and may repost if that's OK with you.
@qadree: thanks SO much--love you hanging at my humble blog
Trixie: Thanks for the compliments, but you know you're a mess, right? haha
I do not know maybe there is something wrong with me but the more people talk about this movie the more I am curious to see it.
clnmike: when you see it, let me know how it was :-)
I was kinda surprised when I heard about this because I didn't really think today's audiences would really care. But I guess the show was pretty popular on TV.
Ima pass on this. Don't wanna see a remake of A-Team.
IW, lol not going to see it at all not even a bootleg?
If someone came in my living room, popped it in the DVD player, and turned on my TV, I still wouldn't watch that mess! haha
i hope hollywood pulls the money on this potential movie. Singleton needs to do his homework and he would know that nobody is checking for the A-Team. why doesn't he just do Good Times or something?
you are crazy DB! but it's sad, I probably would go see that one.
