Copley and Biel join A-Team"District 9" star Sharlto Copley is now confirmed and Jessica Biel is in final talks to join "The A-Team" movie for 20th Century Fox says Variety.As reported last week, Copley will play Capt. "Howling Mad" Murdock while Biel is set to play an Army general pursuing the team who is the ex-love of 'Faceman' (Bradley Cooper). Liam Neeson and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson also star in the Joe Carnahan-directed action-adventure which begins filming this Fall in Vancouver. Ridley Scott, Jules Daly and Stephen J. Cannell are producing. Biel an Army General?????   for gods sake is she not far far too young for a rank that big? and why do they have to have the persuing enemy a woman??? don't get me wrong I want to see beautiful good actresses like Biel in films like this but christ lets keep them realistic too its like casting Mini Me as BA  if she was a Captain or Lt. I'd say fair enough .....even a Colonel is pushing it but a General????

Very true, its probably so they can get her looking sexy in a tight uniform! | ||

I'm pleased Sharlto Copley's in it cause he was brilliant in District 9...very likeable and believable! Apparently, he's more of a producer/director than an actor and he improvised a lot of his dialogue in District 9.
Speaking of young, female majors...wasn't there one in Buck Rogers?! |

Lower rank uniforms can be tight too bud 
Yeah but in the army a 'Major' rank is lower than a Lt.Colonel or Colonel
in the Navy its lower than a Commander If she was a Major I wouldn't have a problem babe but the way things are now it would be the ludicrous situation of a 20ish aged woman playing not only someone who outranks all of the A Team including a Late 50's Neeson's Hannibal but she also will carry the highest rank in the army.......its simply mad!!! And the only reason its not questioned by others is the fact thats it is a female part If they really wanted a woman in the role...it should be a woman who looks the part and age for a rank of that magnitude like Helen Mirren, Judy Dench Sigourney Weaver, etc.... |

Maybe even 'Mad Dog' Megan Fox! | ||
| Catnapper |
"Mad Dog Megan" .....that's Luc's dream
Ooh those ranks are too confusing! I like the idea of Sigourney Weaver as a major though! |
||
| Lucifer_666 |
Mad Dog Megan?? my dream hmmm..... it all depends on what that crazy bitch is doing to me
Well Sigourney would get away with being a General too because she the look and age for that rank ....how can a girl in her twenties obtain a rank like that?? ...no Biel is all wrong |

It's probably just a concession to glamour..or could it be a secret ploy to get people to join the armed forces like the Yvan Eht Nioj episode of the Simpsons, I wonder?
|

| big aundy |
rampage is perfect for BA , he a huge ufc fighter .
think beil would make a good amy . and for me there is only one guy to play murdock and that's jim carrey , |
||
| Lucifer_666 |
on fairness having Biel in a tight uniform would appeal for me to join up so perhaps it is a ploy bud
and yeah i thought she wpuld have been amy aswell Sta 
|
||
| Emperor Morphetine |
Ah well, it's all good eh? | ||
| Lucifer_666 |
well its all good until a limb is blown off
|
||
| Emperor Morphetine |
Indeed. | ||
| Catnapper |
It's the A Team...in the tv series, they could fire hundreds of rounds off and never hurt anyone 
|
||
| Lucifer_666 |
i forgot that we were talking about the A Team
|
||
| Emperor Morphetine |
I always thought it was daft how they could make a weapon out of almost anything. | ||
| Lucifer_666 |
they always found the exact thing or tool needed in that abandoned barn too ...
|
||
| Emperor Morphetine |
Always reminds me of the Family Guy episode where Peter and his friends win the costume competition at the retro TV fair- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj18J9DEeKQ | ||
| Catnapper |
Imagine the A Team and McGuyver...they could build any weapon
|
||
| Lucifer_666 |
i love that episode ......the bits where they rush to get into the van and then have to wait five mins for the ramp to go up for the wheelchair guy to get in to are hilarious
what an instoppable team ...though Face and Mac would be fighting over the women
|
||
| Emperor Morphetine |
Mr T was always my favourite of the A- Team for some reason. | ||
| Catnapper |
Mr T was hard to miss with all the bling he wore! | ||
| Emperor Morphetine |
True- apparently he gave it all up after he became a born again Christian though....
|
||
| Jipdog |
He also got mugged for a lot of it. He still wears a fair bit though. | ||
| Jipdog |
Oh, by the way:

||
| Emperor Morphetine |
There was also a Wikipedia-based rumour that T was dead a while back....
|
||
| Lucifer_666 |
great pic.........Neeson does look strange as Hannibal
Mr T dead..... what would Snickers have done 
|
||
| Emperor Morphetine |
I dread to think.
|
||
| Catnapper |
I still can't picture Neesom as Hannibal but the actors playing Face and BA look the part 
|
||
| Lucifer_666 |
well with a tagline about 'goin nuts' perhaps Murdock could suit Snickers either
I can't picture Neeson either but he may end up being very good |
||
| Jipdog |
He's definitely still alive. Just checked on IMDB. | ||
| Emperor Morphetine |
Phew!
|
||
| Lucifer_666 |
not only that but going by the ads i think he could still play Mr T
