With the release of The A-Team movie in theaters today, Moviefone has a clip showing off the team's introduction to "Howling Mad" Murdock. Ace chopper pilot, comedic relief and all-around crazy guy of the team, Murdock meets Hannibal, B.A. and Faceman while a resident of a military hospital where he's under psychiatric observation. The rest of the action follows from there.

A different teaser poster for the film surfaces.

No joke, the second trailer for The A-Team arrived this April Fool's Day morning. Included is the signature theme song, the core set-up of the film, a brief introduction to who the main characters are and a brief cameo by Henry Czerny playing the part he does best, generic villain guy.

From IMP Awards comes this UK teaser poster design for The A-Team with the tagline, "There Is No Plan B."

Ah, here's a better resolution format for the new trailer.

The trailer for The A-Team has leaked online. When one copy of the trailer disappears from a video hosting site, another comes up to take it's place. We're of the mind that Fox will be releasing a better copy of the trailer by the start of next week.

But for now you can watch it here.

A rundown of what we can expect to see when The A-Team trailer hits theater screens soon has appeared on AICN. It was written by a fan of the original TV show so the bar was raised...and successfully vaulted.

"Starts off as you'd expect, with just a hint of the theme music and it's variation of the classic voiceover (Apparently they were arrested one year ago for a crime they didn't commit), which runs throughout the trailer. We see Hannibal in his colonel uniform attending a military funeral. Next we get quick shots of the team breaking out of a prison bus and then Hannibal meeting with Face on a beach. Some footage of fast cars and a shot of B.A. getting out of one. It's filmed from the rear, so we can get a good look at the mohawk! That just leaves Murdock, who's introduced in his familiar jacket/cap getup, complete with pilot's headset. From there it's all high action mixed with nostalgia, sure to leave fans of the show with a "plot-hatching Hannibal" sized grin. Everyone involved gets to break out a well known piece of of their character. Hannibal gets to chomp a stogie and proclaim "I love it when a plan comes together". B.A. gets to act hella-tough and lament on how much he missed his van. Which of course gets a big a reveal as any of the characters. Which is only fair, there are few vehicles more iconic than that GMC van. Face, full of his trademark charisma, questions the sanity of Hannibal's plan, tells B.A. that he has a bad attitude and makes out with Jessica Biel's Lt. Sosa character. And Murdock, who get's the least amount of screen time, still finds time to show us how off kilter he is by calmly announcing that their planes wing is on fire. After the escape and the character revealing we get around 30 seconds of the team on their mission which is all ziplines and gunfire and helicopters. It ends with the bullet riddled A Team logo and the tagline 'There is no plan B'."

There's more here.

When Latino Review's El Guapo spotted Mr. T working out at his local gym, the movie website journalist did what he's best at and asked him if he would be filming a cameo in the upcoming movie. The Rocky III star said no.

"He said it wasn't about money, because he turned down the chance to appear in the film before that was even discussed," writes the Review's roving reporter. "He said it just wouldn't be right for him to be in it. If his B.A. isn't the main guy, then why do it? What's wrong with the film that they need him to make a cameo? Plus they would market the film with him being in it, and he didn't want his friends and family to think he would have some big role when he wouldn't. He told me he has nothing against the cast or even the fact that they're doing a remake. But a cameo is just something he wasn't interested in. He said he's very happy with his life right now and enjoys giving back to the community."

The Official Dwight Schultz Fansite reports that the original actor that played "Howling Mad" Murdock will have a cameo in the A-Team movie. Schultz met face-to-face with Sharlto Copley, who plays the character in the film. "Dwight has seen his screen test and he stated: that honestly, if Sharlto is given an opportunity to do what I saw in that test, 'Murdock' will be better than ever!" states the fansite. "Sharlto has been very kind to him on the set and Dwight must say that he has been treated very well.|

Entertainment Weekly published the first officially released photo showing the quartet from The A-Team. Left to right we've got Bradley Cooper as Faceman, Quinton Jackson as B.A. Baracus, Sharlto Copley as "Howling Mad" Murdock and Liam Neeson as Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith.

20th Century Fox is on target to release the movie on June 11, 2010.

A sneaky spy photographer has given everyone online their first look at the new A-Team. Coming Soon (via Splash News) has the pic which shows Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley and Quinton Jackson shooting a scene on a dock.

Jessica Biel (Easy Virtue, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry) is in negotiations to play the ex-girlfriend of Bradley Cooper's character, Faceman. The news comes from Variety who also confirms Blackfilm's exclusive that Sharlto Copley is in talks to play "Howling Mad" Murdock.

Blackfilm.com is reporting that District 9 newcomer Sharlto Copley has been offered the role of H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock in The A-Team movie.

Word on the street is that former UFC champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has landed the role of B.A. Baracus in The A-Team. The story was first reported by a local newspaper who claimed that Jackson had met with the film's makers on August 19 and then arrived back in Vancouver this past Friday to prepare for the shoot.

Blackfilm is reporting via their sources that rapper-turned-actor The Game is now being considered to play the movie version of B.A. Baracus. He's had roles in Tournament of Dreams, Waist Deep and Street Kings.
