"Joe Carnahan has admitted that he was &amp;quot;not a fan&amp;quot; of the A-Team as a child. The filmmaker, who directed the big-screen remake of the hit &amp;#039;80s TV show, said that by not being an avid follower he was qualified to make an unbiased adaptation of the series. He told The Sunday Telegraph: &amp;quot;I was not a big A-Team fan as a kid, so I think that made me a better candidate for this job than somebody who grew up loving the show because they would have been more inclined to make sure it was a fan-driven adaptation, and I think that would have been a huge mistake.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;With Miami Vice, there was nothing of the show left in the movie and I wanted to keep things that were important to people who love the show, but not completely give in to them. If you&amp;#039;re just making a movie for the fans, you really limit yourself.&amp;quot; The A-Team is currently in US cinemas and arrives in the UK on July 30.
