I'm laughing seeing your picture and thinking about this comedian's take on Mr. T's sexuality. (You can youtube Eddie Murphy but I won't post it so as not to offend)

Director Ridley Scott has signed up to produce the big screen remake of 1980s TV show The A-Team, according to industry paper Variety.
The film, due out in 2010, will be updated so that the army veterans will have fought in the Middle East and not in Vietnam, Variety adds.
It says Joe Carnahan will direct and hopes to make a "popcorn movie" that "reflects on the real world".
The cult TV show starred George Peppard as Hannibal and Mr T as BA Baracus.
Dirk Benedict, as Face, and Dwight Schultz, as Murdoch, completed the quartet of mercenaries "accused of a crime they didn't commit".
Carnahan said 20th Century Fox had asked him "to make it as emotional, real and accessible as possible without cheesing it up", Variety added.
Actors including Bruce Willis and Ice Cube have been rumoured to be on board but no names have been confirmed.

Did Ken Starr write the script for that one?!? ;-P
Okay, I’ll give ya Jim Carrey as Murdoch. As for the rest; give me call when you’re serious.
I think Samuel L. Jackson as B.A. has potential. He’s big.
lol...
I’ve heard this rumor for years (that they’re going to make a movie of the A-Team)..I’ll believe it if I see it.
Ice Cube for B.A. though.
Oh come on...think about it....it grows on you.:-)
He's got the crazy eyes. He can play crazy. He also actually played a soldier in "Mars Attacks".
I just think of ice cube as boring. Now Will Smith could bring BA to a whole new level.
Hey there, where you going with that idea...
I saw him in “Othello.” He can be really good. Or a snooze.
What about the guy who played in “Scorpion King” and “The Mummy”?
*shudder*
The thing about Dwight Shultz is that you always know his characters would really kill you. I’m trying to think who’s like that among younger actors. Heath Ledger might have done, but he’s dead. Robert Downey Jr. is kind of old.
My teenagers would have more suggestions - they see more movies than I do. If I tell them they can watch “A-Team” online, I may never see them again. Maybe I’ll bring it up if they get bored this summer!
Hey, don’t pick on BJ. He had the same last name as me.
SF
Robot Chicken already did the remake. Funny stuff.
"Hey boy, you look pretty good in them jeans..."
GMTA!
“Norton...come over here...I wanna show you something........homina homina homina....”
Please, no.
Mr. T, Elvis, Aunt Bunny, Gus, little Eddie....they're all back
“If I tell them they can watch “A-Team” online, I may never see them again.”
It’ll be nice out in the summer. You don’t want the kids sitting around watching “A-Team” at 2 hours at a stretch.
We practice the art of incentivisation in our house; you want a pop tart, eat an apple. Wanna get on the Wii, don’t even think about asking unless the bedroom is clean!
The A-Team is the absolute gold standard for me and mine!!
My kitchen is clean, the horses’ stalls are done,...now if I can teach my 10 year old to change the oil in our van.
