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.
