Screenwriter Bruce Feirstein, who wrote 007 adventures "Goldeneye", "Tomorrow Never Dies", and "The World is Not Enough", has been hired to pen the big-screen adaptation of 80's series "The A-Team".
According to Variety, Stephen J. Cannell, who created the show, will produce the movie with Spike Seldin for Twentieth Century Fox.
The new movie will be less cartoony and take on a more serious tone, says the trade. But what we really want to know is : will it open with this unforgettable narration :
"In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team."
Cannell says Mr T, who played B.A Baracus on the original series, will likely make a cameo, but as yet they haven't decided on who will play the new gang. Rumoured candidates over the years include Brendan Fraser, Mel Gibson, George Clooney and Jim Carrey.
