Casting continues on as Jessica Biel and Sharlto Copley jump into “The A-Team”. Sharlto Copley, better known for his lead role in the hit summer science fiction film District 9, takes on the role of Captain (Howling Mad) Murdock. Biel, though still going through final negotiations, is set to play an Army general pursuing the team who is the ex-love of Cooper’s character “Faceman.” (CS!)
These two actors add onto the expanding cast that includes Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, and Quinton Jackson. The film is based off of a popular 1980s television show with four war veterans who try to clear their names with the U.S. military who were all framed for a crime they did not commit. Directed by Joe Carnahan, who previously directed Smokin’ Aces, the film is slated for a June 11, 2010 release date.
