"The A-Team" (June 11)
What it is: The ‘80s TV action series about a band of ex-army special forces officers becomes a big screen action movie starring Bradley Cooper (“The Hangover”), Sharlto Copley (“District 9”), Liam Neeson, Jessica Biel and mixed martial arts fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson in the role made famous by Mr. T.
Why you should care: The filmmakers promise this won’t be a silly campfest but instead a serious minded action movie in the vein of the “Bourne” series and “Casino Royale.” Director Joe Carnahan (“Narc,” “Smokin’ Aces”) just might be able to deliver on that potential. And it’ll be worth seeing how 2009 breakout stars Cooper and Copley fare in a movie that’s actually expected to be a hit.
