'A-Team' Bounced to 2010, John Singleton Goes AWOL

Oh, there is fool-pityin' to be done:
Variety reports that the hyped-up
A-Team movie has been put on ice for a while,
the result, it seems, of a plan not coming together.
But now we'll have to wait until July 2010 for an A-Team movie, although I'm sure a lot of you would just as soon keep waiting and waiting and waiting. Fox does want it to happen, however, so much so that the script is still going through re-writes, presumably so that the subtleties embodied by Face, Hannibal, "Howling Mad" Murdock, and B.A. Baracus can be adequately aligned. After all, they were four men living all together, but they were all alone. (Is that the right show?)
The timing of all these rewrites doesn't mesh with Singleton's schedule so he's out, and a new director will have to go back to the drawing board.
And the hits keep on coming: In the same article, Fox announced a Christmas 2009 release for Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel. That's really the title. Expect greatness.

John Singleton can be replaced with F. Gary Gray or Spike Lee.
Oh yeah, and Don Cheadle will be replacing Ice Cube as BA Baracus too...
Is Marvel producing this movie too? Ah well, it will be good to see the A-Team worked into the Avengers movie. I wonder who will play the president?
I'm locked to play the prez in the 2011 production of Obama: 4 years of Change (Working Title).
Uh...excuse me?
Stop fighting gentleman. The role has been filled.
Truthiness Lives!
You're right Cheadle. Colbert has incriminating photos of me with farm animals.
That's Allstate's stand.
I was just thinking that Lego George Peppard has a nice ascot. Eat your heart out Jermey Piven!
