Jessica Biel and Sharlto Copley (District 9) are in final talks for Fox’s A-Team. Already cast in the film are Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

Joe Carnahan (Narc, Smokin’ Aces) is directing a script by Skip Woods, of Hitman and X-Men Origins: Wolverine previously. The film keeps the main TV series premise of four wrongly convicted vets escaping from prison to become do-gooder mercenaries, however it will have a more serious tone and take place present day.

Filming begins this fall in Vancouver.

Copley will play helicopter pilot Capt. “Howling Mad” Murdock, originally played by Dwight Schultz in the series. Biel is set to play the ex-love of “Faceman” (Cooper), the general pursuing the team.

Neeson will play John “Hannibal” Smith with Jackson playing Sgt. “B.A.” Baracus. Being that B.A. was originally played iconically by Mr. T, Jackson has the biggest shoes to fill.
