A New Writer for The A-Team
---------------------------
Empire Online caught up with "The A-Team" co-creator
Stephen J. Cannell who gave an update on the status of
the big screen adaptation, which Bruce Feirstein
(GoldenEye) was penning but will be getting a new
writer and script:
Speaking exclusively to Empire, he said the
new script will replace the half-dozen or so
which have been written to date. "We were
working on a script for a few years but I
didn't like it so it's been thrown out," he
said. "We've gone through a lot of scripts
that we haven't been happy with for one
reason or another. We had one script writer
who had never even watched the show! The
studio was adament about employing him but
he just took the title and began to write
anything he wanted, completely departing
from the original show. The studio didn't
like it and neither did I."
Cannell doesn't reveal who the new writer is, but he
does talk more about updating the show and mentions
Bruce Willis as a possibility for Hannibal.
