Paul Haggis' upcoming drama "The Next Three Days" has added another solid actor to its cast: Liam Neeson, who recently starred in "Taken" and "Five Minutes of Heaven" and has "Clash of the Titans" coming soon.

Russell Crowe will play a teacher who attempts to help his wife (Elizabeth Banks) after she's arrested and convicted of a murder she claims she never commit. Variety says Neeson plays an expert on prison escapes.
 
Haggis wrote the script based on Fred Cavayé's 2008 French film "Pour Elle." "Days" is shooting now and co-stars Brian Dennehy, Lennie James, Olivia Wilde, Aisha Hinds, Daniel Stern and RZA.

Yes! Last week we found out "District 9" star Sharlto Copley got an offer to play Capt. "Howling Mad" Murdock in Joe Carnahan's upcoming "The A-Team" flick, and it turns out he is now in final negotiations to join the big-screen adaptation of the poular television series. That's awesome news.

Also in talks to board the flick is Jessica Biel. Variety says she will play an ex of Templeton "Faceman" Peck (Bradley Cooper). Liam Neeson is already on board to play Col. John "Hannibal" Smith, and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson will be playing B.A. Baracus.

Who knows if this is all true, but it may as well be. Blackfilm.com says "District 9" star Sharlto Copley has received an offer to star as Capt. "Howling Mad" Murdock in Joe Carnahan's upcoming "The A-Team" flick. How cool is that?

Of course, nothing has been confirmed by any official sources, and no word is out yet whether Copley accepted anything. I'm sure we will receive some details about this in the near future. The latest to join the film is Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, who will be playing B.A. Baracus.

Reports currently spreading across the Web suggest UFC fighter Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson will be playing B.A. Baracus in Joe Carnahan's upcoming "The A-Team" flick. I would go easy on this and qualify it as a rumor until we get an official announcement, but that's what Yahoo! (via The Sun) has to say at this point.

Last thing I heard, several candidates for the role made famous by Mr. T were going through auditions, including The Game, Tyrese Gibson and even Ice Cube. Apparently, Jackson impressed the filmmakers the most. Like I said, it's not confirmed, but definitely possible.
