Dennis Haysbert Gearing Up for The Unit: The Movie!
By Delaina Dixon | December 21, 2009 | EntertainmentTaking the Unit to the big screen credit: CBS
Here’s an early Christmas gift for The Unit fans who mourned the end of its four season run this past May. Star Dennis Haysbert is working hard to bring it back, this time to the big screen!
“It may not be called a Unit movie, but I’ve partnered the author of Inside Delta Force and the series’ consultant, Command Sergeant Major retired Eric L. Haney. I just bought the rights to his books, and we’re going to make movies out of those,” Dennis reveals to the TV DivaGal exclusively.
Dennis has also partnered with Allstate Insurance for the companyΓÇÖs second Annual “Give Back Day,” which encourages people to volunteer on Monday, Jan. 18, 2010, also known as Martin Luther King Day. A do-gooder himself, Dennis got his Unit costars involved in his last charitable act.
“Last year, as a gift to my crew at The Unit, I put ten rain catchers in ten villages in Kenya, Africa, which not only saves lives with clean water, but actually saves the lives of the young girls whose task it is to go down to these watering holes and rivers to collect it,” Dennis shares. “It’s a treacherous journey to these watering holes, both from human and animal predators alike.”
No doubt his crew will give back to Dennis, and join up when he gets his “Unit” themed movies underway!

Hopefully, they will reunite the original cast since we miss our Army family.
Thanks a bunch for making my new year the best year yet!

Many Thanks again to Mr. Haysbert, the crews and Delain Dixon...
Happy New Year to all! =)
Nonetheless, when these 2 get together on a project, there is NO DOUBT it will be awesome!
(I would love to see it come back on TV & have the network change their minds!!)

Please bring the movie out and I can even visualize a series of movies like Rambo.
God Bless or troops
I'd love this to be a Unit movie, and I'd love even more to see the show back on tv, perhaps on a basic cable station like FX, where I think it would thrive, but I hate to see my fellow fans get their hopes up reading more into something than is actually there. This is Haysbert trying to launch a Unit-like film franchise, and one that hasn't even been properly scripted yet, let alone funded or green lit. It's not even a go movie, let alone a Unit one.
Thanks to all those involved. I also read about Dennis Haysbert donating rain catchers to Africa. How could I get more information about these rain catchers?
I bought all 4 seasons on DVD and wish they would at least do one more season, or a 2 hour movie to see what happens to Jonas and Molly.

I will be first person inline for the Unit movie starwars style kampd out front all night to get tickets
I am finally caught up on all the episodes and want MORE!!!!
me and my family liked to watch it..

Keep the faith.
Keep the faith.
Ps. When I was young, I wanted to either be a top gun pilot or special forces like most boys, I think this show helps civilians see into that lifestyle.
