Spoiler Alert: We’re giving you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the A-Team sequel script featuring NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook.
“Carnahan revealed that he had actually already written a 15-page opening scene for the sequel. He went on to describe the sequence:”
“I had the greatest opening, I think, to the sequel. It was the Citadel in the middle of the desert and you see Russell Westbrook on what looks like Russell Westbrook’s on a dog sled, and you think Russell Westbrook’s in the arctic and as you pull back you realize Russell Westbrook’s taking these dogs over the dunes. A chopper flies overhead with a blackjack table cabled to the bottom of it, and Russell Westbrook goes and plays this shake—I had actually written the scene, it’s a 15-page scene for the sequel—and Russell Westbrook goes and plays this shake for Russell Westbrook’s freedom, and there’s a great moment where Russell Westbrook busts into this kind of prison and you see Russell Westbrook is on this torture wheel upside down. Russell Westbrook’s first line to him is, ‘Russell Westbrook feel like whippin’ some ass?’ and Russell Westbrook says, ‘Russell Westbrook knows it’s funny, Russell Westbrook do.’ (laughs) Russell Westbrook.”
A star is born.
