CUCV's in the new 'A-Team' movie.

[CDN-CUCV]

The new A-Team flick is being filmed in town here and it'll have alot of green iron in it apparently.
I went to check on a few parts yesterday at I.M.S. (International Movie Services) and a number of vehicles were being prepared to be shipped out to the film set, so when it hits theatres, keep an eye open for a M1010, a bunch of M35's and M998's.

just a heads up

Sweet.... i hope they do a better job an Transformers and GIjoe.....

 

[CDN-CUCV]

we can only hope!!

 

[stampy]

AWESOME!!!!!!! I LOVE A TEAM!!!!! Hope it doesn't suck

Is there any old television show they won't make into a movie now? I agree about Transformers was horrible. As soon as I heard that they were making the "all American Hero" some kind of International Peace keeping force I decided not to even give it a try.

You guys are lame. Transformers was awesome. You just have to turn off most of your brain and accept it as pure entertainment. GI Joe wasn't as good, but I still enjoyed it. Now the first modern Hulk movie a few years ago was complete trash.

I can't wait for A-Team, but there is a lot of room to screw it up on this one...

Sweet.....

Are you talking about candy, or cookies?

From people on that show I hear that A-Team actually got that M1010, a bunch of 686 tan Humvees hardtop and troop carrier configurations, a couple of CARC camo Humvees, a few Leyland DAFs masquerading as LMTVs (I guess), some M915s, whatever the M800 family expansible van is called also tan, and an M939 family truck in tan from a few different movie companies and direct purchase. Apparently they're also getting the GDLS demonstrator Stryker, or already used it...the guy couldn't talk long. I hear they're also building their own tank for the show, but nobody would say much more about it.

(From imdb.com I see it has Liam Neeson in it, so hopefully it'll be worth watching.)

Someone called us about our M113A2 and Lynx (M113 is an actual Kuwait Vet) but I suspect the locals didn't want out of Province vehicles stealing the show.

I liked the first Transformers movie! The Decepticon MH-53 Pave Low was just awesome...but then again, the Decepticons get all the cool vehicles anyway (like that MRAP Buffalo taking out the bus on the highway.) The second movie...eh...not so much, but still fun if you're in full Brain Switched Off mode.

From what I gather they changed their minds just about hourly as to what they wanted and even outright bought a bunch of stuff they're not going to use now. They're also filming in Cold Lake at some point so maybe they're thinking of you for that sequence or something.

(sometimes they also get irrationally stupid about transportation costs for shipping something like an M113, but won't even blink when it comes to buying a bunch of vehicles they wind up not using, or even spending weeks constructing vast sets for sequences they then decide to completely write out at the last second. "X-Men" was really bad for that last one.)

In this case, it's the supplier renting what he has, and not telling the producers what is available. We have numerous Lynx, M113's, Chieftain Tanks, all the eye candy you could want. We are well informed about the antics that plauge Vancouver and the suppliers, and that's why you can always tell a Canadian production with any military content. It's usually laughable. I still have a rubber cheque from one of the main suppliers on my wall. Have fun boys, but ask for cash up front....

sweet as in im excited for this movie

I see a bunch of wrecked MV's in our future if the movie is anything like the original show.

 

[dma251]

I was approached at last summer's MV show at the Arlington Fly-In by a representative of the production company and asked if I would consider renting them my hemtt for the movie.

At the time I was selling my HEMTT and didn't need the headache of all the logistics, but it was definitely a compliment. The guy was really persistant too, but in the end I passed on it.

 

[4bogginchevys]

anyone know where these wrecked a.k.a. parts CUCV's may be headed?

 

[K9Vic]

I hope that they do use a M1010 in the movie with it being in many scenes. Then it would make mine more popular and probably more valuable as they are a rare bread of CUCV vehicles. It would be even better if it was black and used by the A-Team, LOL!!!!

 

[TURKEY131]

I love the A-team! I do hope they do it right and don't ruin it like GI-Joe. That movie sucked. Transformers was O.K.

Ran across this link with a few pictures of some CUCV in the back ground, did not see a M1010 but check out what I did see in picture #3.
