So there I was getting all worked up over the notion of a Bonnie and Clyde remake starring Hilary Duff, and right behind my back Joe Carnahan and Ridley Scott were putting together a big-screen version of The A-Team. “Fox has struggled to find a way to exploit the branded TV show while avoiding the series' campy tone,” Variety reports, and if that doesn’t get your hopes up, nothing will. “Carnahan and the Scott brothers say they will use the original premise of the series as the template for an action film. In the original, four Vietnam vets convicted of armed robbery escape from military prison and became do-gooder mercenaries. The Middle East will replace Vietnam as the place the four did their tour of duty, but Carnahan said the origin story is the jumping-off point.” Honestly, I don’t know how to feel about that – I’m waiting for Dirk Benedict to tell me.

I guess the only thing that would top that would be another Lara Croft movie. But that will never happen, right? Right? “Warners Bros. and producer Dan Lin are in early development on a a reboot of Tomb Raider, the popular video game action franchise,” per The Hollywood Report. “The new project, however, is expected to revamp the character and her mission and bear little resemblance to the original pictures. It will reimagine the origins of the character, her love interest and the main villain.” That means no Angelina Jolie, kiddies.

What do Truman Capote and Steve McQueen have in common? Dueling biopics, of course. We already told you about this one, but now “producer David Foster (The Mask of Zorro) unveiled plans that he is spearheading a project based on a memoir penned by McQueen's first wife, Neile McQueen Toffel,” Variety reports.
