A-Team casting update, weird Rambo V plans and Cage stings Hornet

By Stacie Hougland Sep 09, 2009

THE A-TEAM
Pity the Fool Behind This Idea From the oddball-news department comes word that the same folks behind casting Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper as the titular iconic soldiers of fortune have brought on MMA fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson as lactose-loving aerophobe B.A. Baracus, the role that made Mr. T a household name. Can U-F'ing-C it?
RESIDENT EVIL 1 – ER, 5
Resident Upheaval Just eight years after the first in the series, plans are in the works to reboot the franchise based on a video game that it never followed in the first place with a rumored storyline that sounds exactly like the first movie. Someone, anyone, please call George Romero…
RAMBO V: THE SAVAGE HUNT
John Rambo vs. Predator? Weirdly, Sylvester Stallone confirmed he will head to the Arctic Circle with a Black Ops team to hunt down a “forest-dwelling feral beast” in the fifth installment. Make it Jean-Claude Van Damme instead and I’m in.
BATTLE: LOS ANGELES
At Least They Won’t Take Out the 405 Filming has started in Shreveport, Louisiana, for this movie set in the City of Angels about soldiers enlisted to fight an alien invasion (has anyone alerted Gov. Schwarzenegger?), starring Aaron Eckhart and Shia LaBeouf. Too bad, Hollywood Blvd. could use a good blowing-up.

BATTLE: COMIC BOOK FRANCHISES

DC vs. Marvel In an answer to Disney’s buying Marvel Comics, Warner Bros. has created a new subdivision to better handle Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, et. al. Debate amongst yourselves who’ll win this round.

GREEN HORNET

Red Light Nic Cage has said no-go to starring opposite Seth Rogen as the lead gangster. Because a Ghost Rider sequel is a waaay better idea.
