Back to our regularly scheduled program. Apparently John Singleton (“Boyz N’ The Hood”) is on board to direct the feature-length version of “The A-Team.”
With Singleton at the helm and having worked with Ice Cube before (in ‘Boyz’), this apparently has made the rapper one of the lead actors in contention for the role that Mr. T made famous (the surly character BA Baracus).
Blackfilm spoke to Cube about this possibility.
Would you consider taking on the role of BA Baracus?
Ice Cube: Hell yeah, especially with John Singleton directing!What would you bring to the character?
Ice Cube: I wouldn’t try to duplicate what Mr. T did, but I will have the same impact on you when you were little watching the TV show. I’m going to bring my own flavor to it and I am going to do the mohawk.So, is the role definite for you?
Ice Cube: I don’t know. They want me to do it if all the business works out right. I was a fan as a kid and that would be, not a dream come true, but it’s definitely a good thing to do and I would put it on my resume for sure.
God, whatever. Some blog out there will defintitely do their fun, “Hey, hey hey! Let’s all guess or suggest who should be cast as the rest of the A-Team members! Doodle, doodle doo!” Yeah, that won’t be us.
