The A-Team casting saga continues. First off, the good news; EW’s Hollywood Insider has confirmed that Sharlto Copley will play H.M. ‘Howling Mad’ Murdoch. Rounding out the group is Liam Nesson as Col. John ‘Hannibal’ Smith, Bradley Cooper at Lt. Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson as B.A. ‘Bad Attiude’ Baracas. Also confirmed, the film has also nabbed its first female star, Jessica Biel. She’ll play an ex-flame of Faceman’s.

Now for the bad news; well, bad if you’re a fan of David Richmond-Peck. As reported by Moviehole, word on the Vancouver set is that Richman-Peck read opposite Jackson, Copley and others, but his deal fell through due to scheduling issues. Richmond-Peck has a role in the upcoming television series V set to kick off mid-season on ABC. The article also mentions that the role of Gammons has been offered to anther actor based in Los Angeles.

Casting news is exciting and fun to follow, but I can’t wait until The A-Team moves into the set photo phase. Even some plot rumors would be a nice change of pace.
