They been talking for so many years I think over the years I've heard Mel Gibson's name mentioned, lol and Jim Carrey as Murdoch.

[charlie swords]

i liked the A-Team idea better when John Singleton was attached to direct and Ice Cube was rumored for BA Barrachus and Woody Harrelson was rumored for Murdoch...

...and no mohawk? Come on Common, if you're going to do, you're gonna have to man up.

I liked A Team as a TV show and they should just leave it at that,a classic piece of television,whats next,Dallas,Knight Rider,Baretta,etc?

yeah because non of those have ever happened or aren't currently being planned.

Common doesnt seem to be the guy to me. Ice Cube seems like a better choice or even Xzibit.

Well obviously they only want a rapper and so do you lol. The only name I've ever heard that wasn't a rapper was Quentin "Rampage" Jackson from the UFC. Last year he was growing out a fro to get the hawk but in his last fight it was shaved again so I'd take that to mean it didn't go well. I've seen him in movies and he is a horrible actor, lol but he sure is a hell of a fighter.

That's the 1st name that came to mind. I don't know when they're planning on filming this thing but he's tied up with The Expendables right now.

Bradley Cooper is on as Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck. This probably puts him out of the running for Hal Jordan (he denied any involvement with Green Lantern this weekend putting it up to pure internet rumors).

IESB has got casting news to share, no, it has nothing to do with the GREEN LANTERN, instead it has to do with Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck in Joe Carnahan's THE A-TEAM remake set up over at 20th Century Fox.

I find it funny that everyone in Las Vegas was going after the Green Lantern casting confirmation/denial and totally didn't see this one coming. Boy, I love it when a plan comes together.

In regards to Green Lantern Bradley Cooper dismissed the story by saying that it was all just an Internet rumor. Was he playing coy?

Who knows what will pan out with Green Lantern story but what we can confirm today is the following.

A few weeks ago, I was tipped off to who the studio was looking at to play Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck a.k.a Face in Carnahan's new A-TEAM, that's right, Bradley Cooper.

At the time, we were unable to get any confirmation from any of our sources so we decided to sit on the story until we could talk to the man himself.

THE HANGOVER junket took place in Vegas this weekend and IESB's intrepid reporter Chris Goodson was able to speak with Cooper one on one in the hallway of the Caesars Palace hotel via a smuggled tape recorder, hey, you gotta do what you gotta do, that's how Vegas works baby!

Here's how it went down, IESB asked Bradley Cooper point blank if he was excited about playing Faceman in The A-Team. His reaction? A mixture of surprise and astonishment - "That's out already!?"

Following some laughter and excitement, he continued, “Wow. Yeah...its Joe Carnahan's. It's very interesting. It'll be cool. It will be cool see what...He'll make a great movie out of it.”

Cooper was quickly whisked away back down the hall, after we had a chance to thank him for his time and got a “Thanks man” in return.

I can see Bradley Cooper in one of Face's famous ascots, he would look a whole lot better than Justin Long that's for sure.

Original Faceman Dirk Benedict has a great quote that describes the show to a tee - “It was a guy's show. It was male driven. It was written by guys. It was directed by guys. It was acted by guys. It's about what guys do. We talked the way guys talked. We were the boss. We were the God. We smoked when we wanted. We shot guns when we wanted. We kissed the girls and made them cry... when we wanted. It was the last truly masculine show.”

So, we've got Cooper and Common on deck. Now all we need is Kurt Russell as Hannibal and we've got a pretty good team I would say. But what about Howling Mad Murdock, a role made famous by Dwight Schultz. Those are tough shoes to fill, I still think Ryan Reynolds would kick ass.

lol he will be a good as face.

He's in negotiations to play Hannibal. If he signs, my excitement for this movie just went way up. Bradley Cooper (Hangover) has already been confirmed as Face.

Liam Neeson is in negotiations with 20th Century Fox to star in its long-gestating bigscreen adaptation of "The A-Team" as Col. John "Hannibal" Smith. Bradley Cooper is in early talks to play Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck in the Joe Carnahan-directed pic based on the 1980s TV series.

Production begins in late August for a June 11, 2010, release.

Ridley Scott is producing with Jules Daly and series creator Stephen J. Cannell, with Tony Scott exec producing through Scott Free. Carnahan and Brian Bloom polished a script by Skip Woods, whose recent script credits include "G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra" and "Wolverine."

Neeson is in talks to play Hannibal, the role originated by George Peppard, while Cooper would play "Faceman," the role played by Dirk Benedict.

Neeson and Fox are working out money issues. He is coming off the global hit "Taken" and most recently completed "Chloe" and "Clash of the Titans," playing Zeus in the latter.

Cooper has established himself as a commodity after his starring role in Todd Phillips-directed hit "The Hangover." He just completed playing the title role opposite Sandra Bullock in "All About Steve."

Carnahan, Fox and Scott Free have kept the series premise -- four war vets wrongly convicted of armed robbery escape from a military prison to become do-gooder mercenaries -- but they've replaced the campy nature of the series with a tone closer to those of "Mission: Impossible" and "Ocean's Eleven."

Still to be cast are the roles of Capt. "Howling Mad" Murdock, played by Dwight Schultz in the original, and Sgt. "B.A." Baracus, the role that made Mr. T an '80s icon.

[STARSCREAM]
