Two More Join ‘A-Team’
There were rumors a few days ago floating around that ‘District 9′ star Sharlto Copley was being touted to drop into the role of helicopter pilot Capt. “Howling Mad” Murdock in the big screen adaptation of ‘The A-Team.’ Today, Variety confirms those reports, as they claim Copley is in final negotations to take the part that had been previously rumored for such high-ranking stars as Jim Carrey. Copley joins the team that already includes Liam Neeson as Hannibal, Bradley Cooper as Faceman, and Quinton Jackson as B.A. Baracus.
Also joining the cast is Jessica Biel, who would be playing an ex-love of Faceman. Joe Carnahan is directing from a screenplay by Skip Woods. The film is set to begin production this fall in Vancouver.
Good choice. District 9 was awesome and he held the movie together. Its funny how this movie and other movies I recall in the past (Fantastic Four for example) that had these high profile actors involved and then they drop out, so the studios end up casting newbies. I remember back in like 2002 George Clooney and Angelina Jolie were set to star in Fantastic Four. 2005 roled around when that piece of shit came out with Jessica Alba and that British actor taking over those roles. FF might have been a better movie and may have made more money if they had actually had those cast members or other A-list stars.
