Has THE A-TEAM Movie Finally Found B.A. Baracus??
|
This is all a tad confusing.
Around a month ago, we learned that UFC's Quinton "Rampage" Jackson might well take the B.A. Baracus role in THE A-TEAM movie (directed by Joe Carnahan, produced by Ridley & Tony Scott). This is, of course, the role originated by Mr. T in Stephen J. Cannell's 1980s TV series.
Rampage's "people" promptly denied this casting, and that was the last we heard of that.
Until....
The Vancouver Sun now indicates that Rampage is in town and prepping to shoot THE A-TEAM.
Jackson has been removed from the UFC 107 card where he was set to face Sugar Rashad Evans in an Ultimate Fighter finale showdown, so he can appear in the film.
[EDIT]
The Sun has learned Rampage was in Vancouver on August 19 to discuss the role with producers and arrived in town Friday to prepare for filming.
...says The Vancouver Sun HERE.
It should be noted that Rampage as Baracus has yet to be officially confirmed, but there are many reasons a formal announcement might be delayed (lack of "official word" doesn't necessarily make this report inaccurate).
Liam Neeson has already been cast as Hannibal (George Peppard in the series), and Bradley Cooper will take on Dirk Benedict's "Face" persona.
Here's Rampage:

Huh. I could so take him...
