Another Retro TV Show to be Dragged Kicking and Screaming into Theatres

Hasn't the world suffered enough? The news that an "A-Team" movie was being developed made me shake my head in wonder. I have found that there are very few, if any, good adapations of old television shows, and that most are just plain awful. Get Smart, The Dukes of Hazzard, Bewitched, Charlie's Angels, I think the world would have survived without being subjected to Hollywood's attempts to update respectable, if not always the greatest fares from the days of old. But unless this project continues to keep stalling (directors have been hopping in and out of the chair like a hot potato), we may not be rescued anytime soon from our plight. Though Fox has said they're trying they're best to avoid making it campy, and are updating the characters from Vietnam vets to Iraqi vets, I'm not holding my breath. Slash Film contributer Peter Sciretta is more hopeful with the recent addition of director Joe Carnahan to the project, citing his "intense visual style" as a reason to believe that perhaps Carnahan can steer the film away from a train wrek. As with many things in Hollywood, we can only wait and see what the creative forces-that-be will bring us.
