I Love It When a First Official A-TEAM Shot Comes Together

Up until now, all we’ve seen from Joe Carnahan’s upcoming THE A-TEAM has been behind-the-scene shots from a distance, so imagine the grin from ear to ear today when this first, official shot of the film splashed around the net, courtesy of Dr. Malo.

There really is no denying how badass Liam Neeson is as Col. John “Hannibal” Smith, almost like he’s channelling Dolph Lundgren a bit with that blonde hair.   Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck and Sharlto Copley as Capt. “Howling Mad” Murdock are also pretty stellar.   Hell, even the van back and to the side looks menacing.   The only real setback in this shot is Quinton Jackson as Sgt. Bosco “B.A.” Baracus, who looks mean enough, but he also looks just like Jackson with a mohawk.   Unfortunately, Mr. T is so welded to that role that it is going to take some actual footage for Jackson to win die-hard fans of the series over.

Here is the full shot, which you click on to supersize:
