‘A-Team’ Casting Nearly Completed, Guess Who’s Playing Murdock!
Jessica Biel and Sharlto Copley are in final negotiations to star in the feature film The A-Team with Copley playing Murdock. They join Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
Sharlto Copley, the star of this summer’s breakout hit “District 9,” is in final negotiations to portray “Howling Mad” Murdock in Fox’s “A-Team” feature film. Jessica Biel is also in negotiations to join the production.
Copley and Biel will join Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson to round out the special forces team convicted of a crime they didn’t commit and on the run from government forces. Joe Carnahan is directing the adaptation of the 1980s television show, while Ridley and Tony Scott produce.
Copley seemingly came out of nowhere to star in “District 9,” landing the role in the movie due to childhood friend Neill Blomkamp’s fondness for Copley’s improvisational skills, skills which will be ideally suited to the Murdock character.
Great news for all the A-Team fans out there, the film starts shooting in Canada in late fall. So I wouldn’t expect this one till summer 2011.
