That's odd...Netflix has a completely different cast for the new A-Team movie, including Bruce Willis, Woody Harrelson and Ice Cube as B.A. Baracus--someone is way off base

Wow really you look at Netflix and trust what they say? That was a fan's rumor that is 2 years old.

Liam Neeson signed to play Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith for the movie this was big news in June.

Same with Bradley Cooper for Lt. Templeton 'Faceman' Peck.

Looks like BA is finally cast.

Murdock has yet to be cast.

This is all confirmed on IMDB.com, comingsoon.net, entertainment weekly etc.

Netflix great to get my DVDs not information about movies coming out.

I am going to go on a limb here and say just like with Randy no one is going to give a crap about Rampages onscreen antics when all we (MMA fans) want to see is his butt doing some cage rage!

I loved the A-team as a kid. Rampage is perfect for B.A. He has the scowl down to a science and that was a big part of Mr. T's B.A. Think I'll wait for it on DVD though.

Rampage has that certain something when the camera turns on (kinda like Shaq).

^^LOL at that tdbubba!! He would be perfect!^^

I think Rampage could do a good Mr T.
Just saw him as a walk on cameo in "Miss March" not too long ago.
