A-Team Coming to Theaters Next Year

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Upcoming Releases

Earlier this year, Knight Rider was resurrected as a two-hour television movie.  Now another ‘80s program will soon be doing one better. Come 2009, NBC’s The A-Team will become a big screen movie.

The hugely popular series, which ran from 1983-87, revolved around four former Special Forces soldiers who were running from a “crime they didn’t commit”.  While evading capture, the four characters - Face, Hannibal, B.A. Baracus and Murdock - made a living for themselves by working as soldiers of fortune.

Paramount has set a June 12, 2009 release date for the show’s adaptation.  Although no actors have yet been cast for the film, John Singleton - who most recently directed 2005’s Four Brothers - will be helming the project.  Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (3:10 to Yuma) will be in charge of the script.
