With the smash hit of District 9, it was only a matter of time before its unknown lead, Sharlto Copley, joined the Hollywood big leagues. It has been confirmed that Copley will play the goofy oddball pilot H.M. “Howling Mad” Murdoch in Twentieth Century Fox’s remake of The A-Team from director Joe Carnahan.
Also, joining the cast of Liam Neeson (Col. John “Hannibal” Smith), Bradley Cooper (Lt. Templeton “Face” Peck), and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (B.A. Baracas) is Jessica Biel who will portray an ex-flame of Faceman’s. Watchmen’s Patrick Wilson will also be featured as a CIA operative.
Apparently the film will follow the basic premise of the television show with the four war vets being wrongly convicted of a crime they didn’t commit, albeit with a less silly tone--what, no "I pity the fool"?.
Production has already begun with the action flick set to release next June.
We're excited for Copley, but Jessica Biel? Yawn. Thoughts?
