You gotta love it when a plan comes together.
With Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson already on board to play, respectively, Templeton "Faceman" Peck and John "Hannibal" Smith, plus recently cast Quinton "Rampage" Jackson to play B.A. Baracus, Variety reports that Jessica Biel and the previously rumored Sharlto Copley (District 9) are in "final talks" to appear in the movie.
Copley would play helicopter pilot Captain "Howling Mad" Murdock, the fourth and final member of The A-Team. Biel would not, as might be guessed, portray Amy Allen, the reporter who aided the A-Team during its first two seasons. Rather, she would be cast as an ex-love of Cooper who's tasked with pursuing the team of military commandos convicted of "a crime they didn't commit."
The A-Team starts shooting this fall in Vancouver, with Joe Carnahan (Smokin' Aces) set to direct the script from Skip Woods (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra). The movie version is hoping to set a more serious tone than the often campy TV show, which producers Ridley and Tony Scott can certainly help foster.
