Mr T's jeans may be a more modern cut and Faceman looks a little slicker in a suit, but the A-Team is most definitely back - and a plan is once again coming together.
This is the first official promotional shot from the new remake of the iconic '80s TV series.
Led by a silver-haired Liam Neeson as Colonel John 'Hannibal' Smith, the modern A-Team is a group of hardened Iraq War veterans trying to clear their name with the U.S. military after being framed for a crime.
Early shots from filming in Vancouver, Canada, suggest their latest outing will be every bit as action packed as their exploits 30 years ago.
BA Barackus, now played by UFC fighter Quentin Jackson, Faceman, played by Hangover star Bradley Cooper and Murdock, played by South African actor Sharlto Copey are joined by Jessica Beil as an army general in hot pursuit.
After a year of fierce arguments among fans over who should replace the original line-up and whether a remake should be filmed at all, the production appears to be sticking to the programme's trademark style.
There are some minor tweaks: Murdock, the 'mad dog' soldier of fortune, is treated to a new cap and smarter leather jacket while Hannibal's more mature look is brought up-to-date with a fresh outfit.
The Face also loses his dubious side parting in favour of a more ruffled hairstyle.
Early pictures from the film's Canadian set showed tantalising glimpses of the classic GMC van used by the A-Team in the 1980s programme.
One big thing appears to have changed, however. A helicopter spotted during filming suggests Mr T will overcome his legendary fear of flying - usually expressed through his characteristic 'I ain't gettin' on no plane, fool!'.
The film is directed by Joe Carnahan and produced by the Scott brothers, Ridley and Tony. It is set for release in the UK in late 2010.
