Fresh off The Hangover‘s now-confirmed number one box office weekend, Brad Cooper is “officially in talks” to join the A-Team movie.
Star Bradley Cooper is in official talks to step into the role of Face for Fox’s feature adaptation of “The A-Team.” Cooper had been rumored for some time to play the dashing Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck, part of a group of framed, on-the-run war vets who get into adventures while evading the military [I smell a ripped-from-the-headlines Blackwater tie in]. The big-budget project, being directed by Joe Carnahan (“Smokin’ Aces”) from a screenplay by Derek Haas and Michael Brandt (“Wanted”), already has a June 11, 2010, release date. Ridley and Tony Scott are producing. [THR]
An A-Team movie from Fox? DON’T DO IT, BRAD. It was a dumb show to begin with, and as a rule, things don’t get smarter when Fox gets involved, they just get monkey poop thrown at them. And Cooper should be paying Zach Galifianakis royalties for all future parts won on the strength of The Hangover because it was basically the Zach Galifianakis show. But eh, Cooper seems like a cool guy. So good for you, Ringo.

He’s the David Ortiz of comedies, just getting by on his supporting cast.
He’s the Barack Obama of comedies, just getting by because he’s black.
Sweet Jesus, just don’t cast a rapper as “B.A.” In the name of all that is holy, the first person to mention Common, or Ice Cube needs to be shot.
YOU SHUT YOUR DIRTY WHORE MOUFF!!!!
A-Team was the greatest show ever (to an 8 yr old that gotto sit in the van at World of Wheels for his birffday). And I will kill any man that says otherwise.
stabme, if that role doesn’t have Kimbo Slice written all over it, you can stab me in the face.
Anybody who thinks the A*Team sucked obviously didn’t own the A*Team combat toy rifle, which could have possibly been the last great toy before the dawn of the pussy generation.
Bradley Cooper’s official fan club motto is “Hey, weren’t you in that movie with those other really funny guys in it?”
A show where people got blown up every five minutes but no one ever died (or bled?) I’m surprised Michael Bay isn’t attached to this.
*** blows kisses at The Swi ***
Also of note. I have a picture of myself at said WoW sitin in the original KITT.
Suck on that.
I gotta back Burnsy up on this. I was in Toys R Us the other day shopping for a new daughter, and it is damn near impossible to find a toy gun there anymore.
I’m not looking it up, but something makes me think his name is Dirk Bennedict, and he used to be WAY HOTTER than that. Yes I realize that’s an old picture. You can’t capture the skewed images in a 12-year old’s mind.
I’d be on his A2M-Team.
Bradley Cooper literally stole Wedding Crashers…. which the WalMart security guard thought was odd, since it only cost $5.
His name was Dirk Benedict. Just like a Canadian to add unnecessary letters.
Playing Tony Bourdain in that failed Tony Bourdain show also made him kind of hot by proxy.
*apparently on an abbreviated name basis with Anthony Bourdain
And you might not be able to capture the skewed images in a 12-year old’s mind, but you can sure as fuck plant them there.
I would rather refer to him at Crad Booper from now on mmkay?
Yeah, I saw Smokin’ Aces. I was certain Joe made a big mistake closing his first business to make that film. Tacos de Carnahan was pretty damn tasty.

So all I have to do is pretend to be a father to buy one of these girls? (mentally routes out drive past sex shop)
erswi-Didn’t know they had talking cars in World of Warcraft…
I doubt this Cooper is good at basketball or has valuable life lessons from a Democratic perspective.
I’m waiting for Dirk Benedict to say how they cut the balls off of Face (balls on face..ehheheh) for this new re-imagining of his show.
But in all seriousness Alan Tudyk = Murdock.
