Fox is getting together a team. Specifically, they're getting together The A-Team. The studio hopes to launch a movie franchise based on the '80s TV action series. So far, Ridley and Tony Scott are set to produce and Joe Carnahan of Smokin' Aces will direct what he promises to be a "real and accessible" movie that's not overly cheesy. Although... a little cheese would be okay, right? Right. Other '80s shows have made the jump to the big screen, like Miami Vice, even though it bore little resemblance to the original. A movie version of The Greatest American Hero also appears to be in the works. (My Will Ferrell-dar pings every time I read something about that project.) So I got to wondering: What other shows from the decade of parachute pants, frosty blue eyeshadow and popped collars could be turned into movies? Who would star in them? Who would direct? Here are just a few possibilities.

America loves The Office, which I have to imagine means that a significant portion of America loves Rainn Wilson, who plays the lovably obnoxious Dwight. So I always wondered why we didn't see more Office cross-promotion for The Rocker, in which Wilson plays a washed-up drummer named Fish, who missed his shot at fame and now plays in his nephew's garage band. Was the studio ashamed of the film, for some reason? Well, I just got my copy of the DVD, and I think I know what the problem is. The movie borrows liberally from one of the greatest rock band movies of all time, one that changed the world with its mind-blowing take on the music industry and the price of fame. That's right, I'm talking about Josie and the Pussycats. With so many similarities to one of the finest rock films of all time, it's no wonder they kept this movie on the DL. Don't see it? Let me break it down for you...

Have you ever wanted to just say "To hell with it," and become a trapeze artist? (Unless you already are a trapeze artist, in which case perhaps you said "To hell with it, I want to work in a cubicle.") Career decisions are hard. I would imagine they're harder still when you are rich and famous and are surrounded by people who kiss your ass and tell you how brilliant and talented you are all the time. Take Joaquin Phoenix. Way back in October, the Oscar nominee announced he was quitting acting to focus on his music. And then his brother-in-law Casey Affleck recently announced he'd be filming the actor's -- I'm sorry, musician's exploits for a documentary. Well, reports have come out since that it might end up being a mockumentary. Turns out, the whole career-change thing may be an elaborate hoax. To which most of us are probably having the same thought: I've seen this on MTV. Followed quickly by: Oh God, I hope so.

While we're all pulling for the hoax angle so the talented (and yes, nutty) actor can get back to making movies, it has occurred to me that there are several actors out there that made career decisions we (and probably they) all wish had been hoaxes as well.

Every year, the Academy Awards categories are announced, and the praise is heaped on the nominees. But what about those actors, writers, directors and films that are left out? Where is their praise? Where are their small, naked statues? Considering how good a year 2008 was for movies, there were plenty that we here at MWoP felt were unfairly passed over for Oscar nominations. (Sure, some of them won Golden Globes or SAG Awards, but do those count, really?) Check out our list of those who were forgotten in our Oscar Snubs Gallery!

The Screen Actors Guild Awards were given out last night, and while the winners weren't all that surprising, there were some genuinely awesome moments during the broadcast that deserve recognition. However, since we're fair and balanced pseudo-journalists, we'll also tell you the worst moments, the ones that made us hate celebrities and awards shows and the world. And since we love criticizing celebrities' wardrobes, we'll do the same thing with their outfits! Hit the links below to see them both.

The geek community is currently peeing themselves with worry because the cast and crew of X-Men Origins: Wolverine has apparently returned to Vancouver to do some re-shoots. Talk of interference in the film by 20th Century Fox has led to speculation that the movie is being kiddie-fied. Still others are claiming that the studio has realized that they have Ryan Reynolds in their movie, and are expanding his presence as mercenary Deadpool. (understandable, since he barely appeared in the trailer.) However, we have our own theories about the re-shoots, which you should check out after the jump.

Decades before Watchmen was even conceived, much less finally shot for the big screen after 20 years of development hell, Frank Herbert's epic 1965 novel Dune was the embodiment of the term "unfilmable." So much so that even after two (two and a half, if you count Alan Smithee's cut, which we do) productions, no filmed version of this iconic science-fiction text has managed to fully capture the scope, depth, imagination and intrigue of this iconic science-fiction text in a way that truly satisfied fans.

But now Peter Berg, the director-producer responsible for Hancock, The Kingdom and Friday Night Lights (both the movie and TV series), has signed on to create another feature-length adaptation. Is the right filmmaker for the job? Do we really need another Dune movie? We say yes and yes. Here's why:

Inkheart is a movie of such potential, that takes such a cool idea -- a guy can make what's written in a book happen just by reading it aloud -- that you'll find yourself imagining the infinite possibilities: He could read Shakespeare and cause us all to have mistaken identities (or to die, if he chooses tragedy). He could read Austen and make us all eloquent and stubborn in love. Or he could read, say, Wilde, and we'd all be clever narcissists. [I'm not sure that's exactly how his power works, but I catch your drift. - Zach] But the possibilities go away rather quickly when you realize the writers have created a book, Inkheart, that will take up the bulk of the movie's screentime. And it will turn out to be an utterly meaningless book, with characters and plots we won't understand. Oh, and to top it all off, the movie itself will not follow its own rules or explain inexplicable occurrences.

"Oh my," indeed! George Takei -- the original Star Trek series' Mr. Sulu himself -- will be doing a voice in a new episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars this Friday night, and we jumped at the chance to interview him about it. (See the Telefile for his take on Clone Wars and Heroes). But during the interview, he dropped some tasty tales about his involvement with the upcoming Star Trek movie. Turns out he not only counseled director J.J. Abrams on casting the new Sulu, he also goes way back with Sulu 2.0 John Cho! Check out his story (in his own words) after the jump.
