Jessica Biel and Sharlto Copley Negotiating 'A-Team' Roles
I remain 50/50 on this venture
The Hollywood Reporter is confirming earlier reports saying District 9 star Sharlto Copley is in final negotiations to join the cast of Joe Carnahan's The A-Team. They also bring word Jessica Biel is in the same process.
Copley would portray "Howling Mad" Murdock while Biel would play the former love of Faceman (Bradley Cooper), an Army general who is now pursuing the team.
The duo join Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson in the television-show-brought-to-big-screen feature centering on a special forces team convicted of a crime they didn't commit and on the run from government forces. Neeson will play Col. John Hannibal Smith and Jackson has signed on as B.A. Baracus, the role originated by Mr. T in the television original.
THR says The A-Team begins production later this fall in Vancouver, although I had heard production was already underway. Either way, the film is set to hit theaters on June 11, 2010.
