· It’s the first picture of our new A-Team! From left to right, we’ve got Bradley Cooper, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, District 9’s Sharlto Copley, Liam Neeson, and a cigar. Click for bigger.

· Jude Law and Robert De Niro are not going to be in Thor, though the door is still open for Dominic Cooper.

· Breach director Billy Ray has been picked to steer Columbia Pictures’ movie about this year’s Somali pirate hostage situation.

· Despite the fact that he’s clearly the male lead of An Education, Peter Sarsgaard’s planning to campaign for a supporting actor Oscar.

· Instead of asking executives to meet with new actors in person, Fox is casting its pilots through screen tests alone. It’s much easier to say, “Too fat, next,” when the person isn’t actually there.

I'd rather eat my own crap than see this movie. Quinton Jackson can barely complete an intelligible thought let alone pull of anything close to the awesomeness that is Mr. T.

Not knowing much about Rampage myself, I'll give him that he looks the part pretty well. Bradley Cooper is exactly the man I would have pegged to take over for Dirk Benedict. And Liam Neeson looks perfect! I wouldn't even have thought of him, but he's gonna rock it out.

For God's sake, please stop making such idiotic movies and do something original. I wish the producers/directors knew how laughable this crap is.

This movie is going to be awesome. I don't think rampage will ruin it.

Oh come on, how can they possibly emulate the giants that were the original A Team?
There's only one Mr T!

They're asking him to play a character originally portrayed by Mr. T, not Sidney Poitier. He'll be fine.

They will remake anything now a days. Come on! Boo...
Besides, Rampage Jackson is a #1 A-Hole. I won't give him any of my money!
