20th Century Fox has released six new stills from The A-Team. The image above features Liam Neeson as Col. John “Hannibal” Smith, Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck, Sharlto Copley as Capt. ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock, and UFC champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson as B.A. Baracus.

Head over to Latino Review to see the other images, and click here to watch the teaser trailer that was released last week!

The first trailer for The A-Team has appeared online and it looks…okay. I don’t like to judge films too harshly by their teaser trailers and prefer to wait until later trailers are released with more footage, however if I were to judge the whole film on this single trailer then i’d probably give it a miss. I haven’t seen a single episode of the original TV show so I’m not exactly an A-Team fan, and this film probably won’t create a new one with me.

In the film Liam Neeson plays Hannibal Smith, Bradley Cooper is Face, Sharlto Copley plays Capt. Murdock and Quinton Jackson is Sgt. B.A. Baracus. Jessica Biel is in it too.

The A-Team will be released on June 11th in the US and July 30th in the UK.

Salondelmal got their hands on the first official image from the upcoming A-Team movie. The highly photoshopped image shows us Liam Neeson as Hannibal Smith, Bradley Cooper as Face, Sharlto Copley as Capt. Murdock and Quinton Jackson as Sgt. B.A. Baracus.

The A-Team will be released on June 11th in the US and July 30th in the UK.

Splash News got hold of a video from the set of The A-Team which contains our first look at ‘the team’ (from a distance anyway). Liam Neeson has gone all grey and plays Hannibal Smith. Bradley Cooper plays Face. Sharlto Copley (District 9) is Capt. Murdock, Quinton Jackson is Sgt. B.A. Baracus and Jessica Biel, who wasn’t needed for the scene above, plays Bradley Cooper’s ex-love muffin who is an Army officer in charge of pursuing the team.

I haven’t seen one single episode of the original TV series, however I do know it’s rather popular and I do know Mr. T has become embedded in popular culture, so Quinton Jackson must be feeling the pressure playing B.A. Baracus.

You can see they’ve toned down the bling and cut off the mowhawk, which is a smart move because trying to recreate the exact character wouldn’t work. The character has been ‘re-envisioned’, ‘re-imagined’ and all those other words that basically mean they’ve done it a bit differently.

Before Ryan Reynolds landed the Green Lantern gig he had to fight off competition from Bradley Cooper and Justin Timberlake. When the three contenders were revealed I was rooting for Cooper as Reynolds already had Deadpool in the works and Justin Timberlake is…Justin Timberlake. Now that time has passed Bradley Cooper has finally spoken about his audition, and according to him even he would have hired Reynolds over himself.

From Splashpage:

“I did get a chance to try out for it, which was amazing to even get a chance,” Cooper told O’Brien. “Ryan Reynolds got it—who, by the way, if I was directing the movie, I would cast him. He’s perfect. He actually looks like a superhero.”

“I couldn’t not do Christian Bale’s Batman when I was doing the audition,” he laughed. “I don’t know what it was! I put a mask on and the director was like, ‘Okay Bradley, be regular and talk.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, got it… [in a deep, gravely Batman voice] listen, Sally, we’re going to have to take your family away if you don’t listen to me!’ By the way, that’s the worst Batman [impression] ever. I apologize.”

When he saw actual playback footage from his audition, Cooper said that his Bale-inspired take on Jordan was laughably bad.

“At one point, I actually walked back and saw it, because they have it on the monitor while you’re auditioning,” he remembered. “I saw a little clip as they were rewinding it, and I thought, ‘Oh my god, that can’t be.’ It looked like a Saturday Night Live sketch! I was like, ‘Oh, I’m not getting this! Now I can really do my Batman! Who gives a s—?’”

Well that didn’t take long. This morning it was reported that Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Timberlake were in the running to play the lead in Green Lantern, and now according to Variety Reynolds has emerged victorious.

Ryan Reynolds has landed the coveted role of “Green Lantern,” getting the starring role in Warner Bros.’ live-action film based on the DC Comics hero.

Martin Campbell will direct. The studio is still working on the picture’s budget, but production is expected to begin in January.

The news caps off a memorable summer for Reynolds, who played Deadpool in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” a performance that prompted Fox to begin development on a spinoff film. Reynolds followed that by starring opposite Sandra Bullock in the romantic comedy “The Proposal,” which crossed the $100 million mark this week.

Warners and Campbell chose Reynolds, who vied for the superhero role along with “The Hangover” star Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto. The momentum built for Reynolds in the last week, as he was the only actor whose option was extended.

Personally I was backing Bradley Cooper, simply because Reynolds will probably be set up for the next few years with Deadpool and it’s not fun when you have one actor hogging multiple superhero roles. But I suppose he can do both as Green Lantern is gearing up for filming in January and Deadpool doesn’t even have a script yet.

Are you happy that Ryan Reynolds got the role? Would you have preferred a different actor that didn’t make Warner Bros. final 3?

Yesterday AICN posted news that Justin Timberlake was apparently screen testing for Green Lanturn and that he is one of the guys that Warner Bros. have been seriously considering for the role. A few hours later The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the news, but they added two other names into the mix, Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) and Ryan Reynolds (X-Men Origins: Wolverine).

Warner Bros. is about to decide who will wear the super-powered ring in “Green Lantern,” the studio’s latest DC Comics tentpole movie.

Along with director Martin Campbell and producers Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti, Warners has spent the past five months searching for the actor to play Hal Jordan, the hot-shot Air Force pilot who is chosen by a dying alien to be his successor in an intergalactic police force known as the Green Lanterns.

This week, the race narrowed to Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Timberlake. The clock is ticking on the decision as the holding deal the studio had on the actors expired Monday, meaning the three are now free to accept other offers.

The studio ordered up two rounds of screen tests with Cooper, Reynolds and Timberlake. Other actors in the early mix included Michael Fassbender, Henry Cavill and Jared Leto.

Apparently, De Line, Campbell and the studio each had a different favorite among the three finalists, making it difficult to come to a consensus.

If I were to pick one out of the three it would be Bradley Cooper. While I like Ryan Reynolds he has Deadpool on the horizon and playing two superheroes in two different franchises wouldn’t be ideal (although maybe it would be for him $$$). Justin Timberlake will forever be Justin Timberlake, and while he may be a safer option for Warner Bros. due to his worldwide appeal and fame, it’s probably not the right option.
