Casting is already coming together for the upcoming A-Team movie which will now be produced by Ridley and Tony Scott. Word is it will be more of a realistic action flick vs. campy/cheesy. Right now Liam Neeson is set to play the leader Hannibal, Brad Cooper (from The Hangover) is Face…but the one casting announcement everyone is waiting for is who will play B.A. Baracus?

Rumors have gone around from Tyrese, Ice Cube and recently Common was rumored to be a lock for the role. But now BlackFilm is reporting that The Game is intense talks with the filmmakers to take on the role of B.A. Since Common just took on his first leading role in the film Just Right, word is he might not have the time to take on the B.A. role as well.

This leaves The Game, who has a much smaller film resume but did star alongside Common in Street Kingsand definitely brings a tough rugged appeal that a modern day B.A. might have. It’s pretty obvious at this point that whoever gets the role, B.A. will most likely be a hip-hop artist so the filmmakers can capitolize and getting the urban demo to the theaters. Stay tuned for more…
