i pity the remake

ahh crap. way to ruin a classic! the 80′s tv show, ‘the a-team’ is going to be hittin’ theaters. and with some big names, to boot! bradley cooper, liam neeson & jessica biel just to name a few. after months of speculation (and years of re-writes), 20th century fox has begun filming the remake. the team is up and running in vancouver, with joe carnahan directing (‘smokin’ aces’). is it just me, or has hollywood run out of ideas? i mean, really. i have a feeling this adventure into the world of remakes will not fare too well. regardless, the movie pops out in june of 2010.

bradley cooper hit up the tonight show with conan o’brien last week to promote his box office flop ‘all about steve.’ of course conan went on rumor control and probed cooper for some scoop on his next project, ‘the a-team’ movie. bradley will reprise the role of face, ufc fighter rampage jackson will take on ba baracus, sharlto copely (‘district 9′) will play murdoch and liam neeson will be hannibal. and where does jessica biel fit into all of this? well, she’ll be some eye candy for the men. apparently biel will play the ex-girlfriend of face, who is also an army general. hmmm.

to end this post, i’ll quote some fans who commented on the article about the upcoming film: “the a-team? more like the straight to dvd team.” i think this fan may have it right. what do you think?

ski shocker

sadly, very sadly, some news has emerged concerning actress natasha richardson. richardson & husband liam neeson have been married since 1994, and have 2 young sons. while in montreal, richardson took to the slopes on mont tremblant. during a ski lesson gone bad, richardson took a minor tumble which seemed harmless as she began walking & even joking directly after.

it appears later on in the night, she started complaining of headaches. while there are conflicting reports, the new york post now claims richardson experienced some brain swelling and as a result is now brain dead. she has been flown back to new york, where she is being joined by her family. a statement from the family is said to be released wednesday. let’s just hope for the best!
