Jessica Biel
Sharlto Copley might just explode onto the whole acting scene. After getting in front of the camera for Neill Blomkamp's District 9, the er, actor is standing next to Jessica Biel to discuss whether they will join the cast of 20th Century Fox's A-Team.
Jessica Biel and Sharlto Copley for A-Team
If the duo sign on to A-Team, they will join Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.
Directed by Joe Carnahan off a script by Skip Woods, the adaptation will keep the TV series premise of four wrongly convicted vets escaping from prison to become do-gooder mercenaries. But, this isn't television, so the film will carry a more serious tone. Copley will portray helicopter pilot Capt. "Howling Mad" Murdock, a role originated by Dwight Schultz in the original series. Biel's set to play the ex-love of Cooper's character "Faceman," the general pursuing the team.
Production on A-Team is set to being this fall in Vancouver.
