Twentieth Century Fox have hired SMOKIN' ACES writer/ director and
Ridley Scott and brother Tony Scott as executive producer and producer
for the planned big-screen film THE A-TEAM, based on the original 1980s
TV show of the same name.
Stephen J. Cannell, who created the original TV series, will also produce the film.
Carnahan will polish the script by Skip Woods with Brian Bloom.
Variety says that the intention is to start production by June for a
June 11, 2010, release. It said that the Middle East will replace
Vietnam as the place the four did their tour
of duty, but Carnahan said the origin story is the jumping-off point.
"You can ... make a film that reflects on the real world without losing
the great sense of fun and the velocity of action in a classic summer
popcorn film," Carnahan said.
"Tony and I feel that marrying this Scott Free project with Joe's
sensibility will result in a fast-paced, exciting franchise, one we
hope will be around for years to come," Ridley Scott said to the trade.
