UPDATE: Bradley Cooper tells CHUD that his comments were taken out of context – “A guy came up to me and asked about the character Faceman in The A-Team. I said ‘Oh, that’s out there already?’, but my point was that news about the film is out there. Literally that people knew about Carnahan and the remake, that’s it. I haven’t read a script or met Joe Carnahan.”
IESB has confirmed that Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) is in talks to play Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck in director Joe Carnahan’s The A-Team. The actor was asked about the role this weekend:
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 [to] see what…He’ll make a great movie out of it.”
None of the actors for Fox’s June 11, 2010 release have officially been announced, though Common is reportedly in talks for the role of Sergeant Bosco Albert “B.A.” Baracus.
