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.

The story itself is several days old already, but as far as I know it got little attention back when it was published. In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube said he’s so ready to star in a big-screen version of “The A-Team.”

As you may have guessed already, Cube is eyeing the role of Sgt. Bosco “B.A.” Baracus, the character originally played by Mr. T. “Man, I am so ready to play ‘B.A.’ Baracus. I was a big, big Mr. T fan,” Cube told the LA Times.

Attached to direct the project is John Singleton, who previously worked with Cube on 1991’s “Boyz n the Hood.” He said working with the director on an “A-Team” flick would definitely be his priority.

I’m not exactly a fan of Cube’s recent big-screen work, but I do have to admit I can see him play the part of B.A. Rumored to play Col. Hannibal Smith is Bruce Willis by the way, with Woody Harrelson in talks to star as Murdock.

Cube will next be seen in “The Longshots,” a sports drama directed by Fred Durst. Click here to read what else the actor had to say about “The A-Team.”
