He might, but I know he does commercial spots for World of Warcraft.
Good for Mr. T for standing up for what he believes in.

Lindsay Robertson of Yahoo Movies' "Movie Talk" reports: Mr. T Is Not a Fan of the New 'A-Team', and with good cause. Mr. T. played tough guy B.A. Baracus in the original made-for-TV action series "The A-Team", and he remembers the elements that made the television program a success : "fun and family entertainment."
Apparently today's movie producers could care less.
Mr. T., who turned down a cameo in the movie, said: "It was too graphic for me. People die in the film and there's plenty of sex, but when we did it no one got hurt and it was all played for fun and family entertainment. These seem to be elements nobody is interested in any more."
That's right T. Sex sells, and people are out for blood. If you don't go along with it, then you don't get cast...

The original A-Team already seemed to be a bit of self-parody anyway.
And the post-modern thing is to camp things up, call it “ironic” and in general rape childhood memories.
Post-modern irony died on 9-11-2001 but like Carrie, it’s back.
Actually, there was one episode of the TV series where someone got killed. It was when the A-Team went back to Vietnam and near the end, Hannibal fired an RPG or something like that into a hut where a Vietnamese officer was taking cover. From the explosion and Hannibal’s reaction, it was clear the officer was dead.
"and there's plenty of sex..."
This is my rifle and this is my gun...
This will be the same as when they did a Dukes of Hazzard movie. They ruined it for not understanding what made the original what it was.
It always amazed me how the bad guys would capture the A Team, then lock them in a barn filled with everything they need to build a tank.
Eddie Murphy is disgusting.
I never cared much for the TV show, but I saw the trailer, and I thought it looked promising.
Well, if he bought a lot of gold he’s probably doing pretty well then !
I had hoped the remake would use the original TV cast. It would be a scream, the geezers trying to pull off the A-Team shtick. Instead it will be a stupid movie that will go to video in a week.
Mr. T! Whoot!
Quinton Jackson was on WWE Raw last night and he looked like a tiny little pussy by comparison.
Not impressive looking at all and the movies are about appearances.
He might, but I know he does commercial spots for World of Warcraft.

Anyone who likes Mr. T must see him & Conan O’Brien at the apple orchard:

That is not funny at all.
Still waiting for the Green Acres movie.
Probably could, now that Mr T is old, and has been through cancer treatment. Back then? probably not. Lawrence Tero (Mr T’s original name) was the winner of the “World’s Toughest Bouncer” contest. I’d guess that he was probably not a pushover back then.
I think this movie will be very much lacking without Dwight Schultz playing Murdock. He MADE that role.
Q: What’s all white with a black a$$hole?
A: The A-Team
Mr. T Ping! By the way my uncle served with T in Vietnam, said the guy once put his arms around a dead tree and uprooted it out of the ground. Ts a badass, and while I'm still going to see the movie, the actor that plays T has big shoes to fill.
You can’t replace George Peppard. You just can’t.
