First Look at the New A-Team Van
--------------------------------------------------
20th Century Fox has begun filming The A-Team in British Columbia,
Canada and we've got your first peek at the new van being used for
the movie. The production was using the van, which looks similar to
the one used in the 1983-87 TV series, for chase scenes.
Opening in theaters on June 11, 2010, the big screen adaptation
stars Liam Neeson as John "Hannibal" Smith, Bradley Cooper as
Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck, Sharlto Copley as Capt. "Howling
Mad" Murdock, and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson as Sgt. "B.A."
Baracus. The roles were made famous by George Peppard, Dirk
Benedict, Dwight Schultz and Mr. T, respectively, in the original
series.
Also starring is Jessica Biel as an Army general pursuing the
team, while Entertainment Weekly reports that Watchmen star
Patrick Wilson has joined the cast as well as a CIA operative.
Below you can see the new van on the set followed by the van
from the series.

Looks like the only part of this movie that even remotely resembles the
original show is the van and (mis)casting Biel certainly puts it into the
"bomb" category. :-(
