The newest edition to the long line of 80s TV inspired films is the A-Team movie. Now usually I would have very little faith in another remake after so many in the past have gone horribly off track from the original television concept, but after seeing the newest Star Trek film last summer, I believe a new wave of quality retro TV show films are on the way.
With a pretty decent cast including Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper and Jessica Biel, I think the A-Team movie will strike a chord with summer blockbuster moviegoers, even if they aren’t fans of the original show.
I'm just hoping Magnum P.I. is the next in line for 80s TV Inspired Films, but until that one gets made, I’ll be waiting in line for the premier of the A-Team movie. I pity the fool who waits for the DVD release.
