Director Ridley Scott has signed up to produce the big screen remake of 1980s TV show The A-Team, according to industry paper Variety. The film, due out in 2010, will be updated so that the army veterans will have fought in the Middle East and not in Vietnam, Variety adds. It says Joe Carnahan will direct and hopes to make a "popcorn movie" that "reflects on the real world". The cult TV show starred George Peppard as Hannibal and Mr T as BA Baracus. Dirk Benedict, as Face, and Dwight Schultz, as Murdoch, completed the quartet of mercenaries "accused of a crime they didn't commit". Carnahan said 20th Century Fox had asked him "to make it as emotional, real and accessible as possible without cheesing it up", Variety added. Actors including Bruce Willis and Ice Cube have been rumoured to be on board but no names have been confirmed. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7856758.stm

Cult comedy Red Dwarf is returning to TV, 21 years after its initial launch. The show has been resurrected by digital channel Dave for a two-part Easter weekend special, which sees the cast finally return to Earth. Written and directed by Red Dwarf co-creator Doug Naylor, the new show reunites the line-up, including Coronation Street's Craig Charles. The hit show, which ran for eight series on BBC Two between 1988 and 1999, won an International Emmy award. 'No holds barred' Set three million years into the future, the show followed the exploits of Dave Lister, slovenly crew member of the mining ship Red Dwarf - and the last man in the universe. He was joined in his weekly attempts to make it back to Earth by a cast of oddballs including human hologram Arnold Rimmer, sanitation mechanoid Kryton and Cat - a preening half-man, half-animal who evolved from the ship's cat. At its peak, Red Dwarf pulled in around eight million viewers and was broadcast in more than 25 countries. It has sold more than seven million DVDs and videos. The new two-part series Red Dwarf: Back to Earth will be followed by a "no holds barred" episode without sets, special effects or autocue. The weekend will climax with Red Dwarf: the Making of Back to Earth, a behind-the-scenes special from the new episodes http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7851989.stm

Every time I spend time in a large bookshop, say Waterstones or Borders, there doesn

I suppose it saves me watching the first two!

I just watched this and looked it up on IMDB.com. Apparently there it

Yeah, it doesn't surprise me. The first one was passable, but the second one just seemed to be trying to cash in as quickly as possible.

I just read the Dark Knight has made it into the top ten best films of all time. I watched it the other night for the first time. It was good, but I'm not sure top ten status.

Judging by Day and Age's chart position, I can't be the only one to buy The Killers' new album?

I just watched Striptease last night. I think that would rank up there with them (or should I say 'down there?')

I've kind of gone off Talk Sport since they got rid of James Whale

All hail Google. Typing in "book forums" brought this site up pretty high.

In a large, unorganised pile near my office desk. When I get a moment, I pick one at random and start reading. I'm currently wading through about five different stories.

The Cure, 4:15 Dream - good to have them back

I won't read any of the Harry Potter Books. I think I shot myself in the foot and saw the first film before I read any of them. I hated the film so much it put me off reading about it all.

Just looked it up on IMDB - it does sound good. When's in on the normal telly (I don't have an ipod!)?

Would it be too much of a jump to get Tom Baker back as the Doctor? It would be one hell of a twist!

Would rather read a book (something that show's 'stars' possibly haven't ever done).

ABC Zoo is a modern day classic. My little girl started reading it at about one. She's now three and still enjoys it.

Yes, I would have said 1984 too. It made me question the amount of trust we put into our elected Government.
