If you love action movies, then get ready for the big-screen version of "The A-Team" which is headed for the cinema on June 11, 2010. The film stars Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Quinton Jackson and Jessica Biel.

Many people loved the 1980s television show called "The A-Team" because it had lots of action and plenty of comedy. But the biggest draw to that show was none other than the coolest man on the plant, the tough guy named Mr. T.

Mr. T played B. A. Baracus in the television version of "The A-Team." You can find out more about Mr. T at Wikipedia.org and at IMDb.com. Mr. T was famous for saying the line, "I pity the fool."

If you are excited about the new movie "The A-Team," you should check out the trailer for the film. It is available at the movie's Web site over at ateam-movie.com and also at movies.yahoo.com. The movie's tag line is, "There is no Plan B."

Who is in the "A-Team" movie? Well, there are lots of great actors in this big 2010 blockbuster film. First, you know Liam Neeson for his many movie roles. He plays Hannibal Smith. Next, handsome guy Bradley Cooper portrays Templeton "Face" Peck.

The character B. A. Baracus, originally played by Mr. T, is now played by Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Lastly, actor Sharlto Copley has the honors of taking on the comical role of H. M. "Howling Mad" Murdock. These four make up "The A-Team."

Another character in the film is the van used by the team for its missions. Many fans loved this van from the 1980s television show, and you are likely to see many vehicles this summer that look like van used by "The A-Team." Check out the van at comingsoon.net.

If you loved "The A-Team" as a kid, you may be thinking about dressing up as a character from the television show. Many folks remember Mr. T so you can always get a Mr. T costume for 2010 Halloween. You can find one at brandsonsales.com.

If you are a guy and have three good friends, why not dress up the four of yourselves as the characters from "The A-Team." This is a perfect group costume idea. Plus, all you need are a couple wigs and the right clothes and you will have the cool group costume of Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith, Captain H. M. "Howling Mad" Murdock, Master Sergeant Bosco Albert "B. A." Baracus, and Lieutenant Templeton "Faceman" Peck. Basically you need the group leader, the crazy guy, the tough guy and the handsome ladies-man guy.

Sadly, star George Peppard of the television version of "The A-Team" died back in 1994. But the other stars of that show live on, including Mr. T, Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz. They are likely to be in demand if the film version of their show becomes a hit.

    Thanks for the heads up on this movie. Did you know the cartoon Family Guy did a take on the A-Team TV series?
