More details have been released of the eagerly-awaited film version of 1980s TV classic 'The A-Team'.
Variety reports that 'Smokin' Aces' and 'Narc' director Joe Carnahan will direct the film, with production set to begin in June.
Ridley Scott and the creator of the TV series, Stephen J Cannell, are among the producers of the film, which is due for release in June 2010.
Director Carnahan said that the film would retain the TV show's storyline of four soldiers-turned-guns-for-hire who are on the run after being wrongly accused of an armed robbery.
However, the action will be updated to the present day, with the Middle East replacing Vietnam as the place where the quartet did their tour of duty.
