Here’s a look at the new A-Team set to debut early next summer:

And for comparison’s sake, here’s a group shot of the original cast from the hit 1980’s television series that started it all:

The new film stars Liam Neeson, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Bradley Cooper, and Sharlto Copley.

The new cast certainly looks good, although Quinton Jackson seems a bit small (at least in the photos) when compared to the original B. A. Baracus, the one and only Mr. T.

Here’s the official movie poster for Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time starring Jake Gyllenhaal in the title role:

And here, for the sake of comparison, are the box covers for the Prince Of Persia games (the Playstation 2 releases) the movie’s based on:

The poster’s not bad.  A bit plain perhaps, but at least Jake Gyllenhaal looks the part.

Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time, which also stars Gemma Arterton, Sir Ben Kingsley, and Alfred Molina, is scheduled for a May 28, 2010 release date.

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming G. I. Joe film in theaters August 7th:

If it weren’t for the new “accelerator suits” the Joes are sporting and Cobra Commander’s radically different appearance, I’d probably be pretty satisfied with the results. 

(And don’t worry, you didn’t miss anything; Cobra Commander isn’t shown in the newest trailer.  You can check out the new look of the Joe team’s archnemesis in my previous post).

It seems as though Stephen Sommers and company aren’t taking things too, too seriously, and I love the insanely over-the-top plot to destroy the world’s greatest landmarks - a classic Cobra scheme that could have come straight from the old 80s cartoon.

I’m still undecided about seeing this one in theaters.  What do you folks think?

In February, I posted pics of a kiddie-fied Cobra Commander from this summer’s upcoming G. I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra - our first look at the villain’s live-action counterpart.  (Click here for the original post.)

Now, pics of the new Cobra Commander movie tie-in action figure have shown up online providing confirmation that what we saw earlier is in fact the real deal:

I can’t say that I’m particularly fond of Cobra Commander’s new look.  What do you think?

A movie based on the popular video game franchise Prince Of Persia is in the works, titled Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time, and starring Jake Gyllenhaal as the title character, Gemma Arterton (I’ve never heard of her, but according to The Internet Movie Database, she has a role in this fall’s Quantum Of Solace, the followup to Casino Royale), Alfred Molina, and Ben Kingsley.

Excellent casting!

The movie, a “Jerry Bruckheimer production,” is being directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, Four Weddings And A Funeral) and is scheduled for a 2009 release…

I’ve played through a bit of the first game, (Sands Of Time was hugely successful and led to two sequels, Warrior Within and The Two Thrones.), and I’ve seen the others in action.  

Seems promising.
