I thought things were getting desperate when they started adapting every old TV show and children’s book into a movie, but frankly, when I heard that they were looking to modify The A-Team into a movie, I pretty much abandoned all hope.

And so it continues on with a new chunk of casting data–Quintin Jackson is now slated to play Mr. T’s old character, B.A. Baracus.

Considering that their other option was Tyrese Gibson, they might have gone with the lesser of two evils, but frankly, neither was a good call.  Where’s Michael Clarke Duncan?  Where’s Kevin Michael Richardson?  Where’s VING RHAMES??

Why is Mr. T’s old character being played by a MIXED MARTIAL ARTS FIGHTER??  And worse yet, this is his FIRST major movie role.  He’s completely inexperienced!

It’s enough to drive a fella to drinking, and I’m not talking milk, either.

Well, hopefully he won’t bungle the job too badly, anyway…not that I’m really holding out a lot of hope for this mess from the get-go.  But we’ll find out how well it comes off in 2010.
