While pretty much everyone in Hollywood has been linked to The A-Team movie at some point, the latest person being put in the frame to play B.A Baracus is The Game. However there’s been no confirmation and it could just be that he’s joining the long list of rappers with acting aspirations to be linked to the role, only for someone else to emerge as the frontrunner next week.
When the project was first mooted, Ice Cube was in the frame, then various other people were rumoured, with most of the recent speculation surrounding Common. However BlackFilm is now saying that it’s now The Game who’s the hot favourite for the role.
To be honest, we don’t know why they don’t just hire Mr T. Sure he looks a lot older but there’s no way they’re ever going to find anyone like him, and it just wouldn’t be the same without him pitying the fool.
Whoever they end up with, they better confirm it soon, as the movie is due to start filming in August under the direction of Joe Carnahan (Narc, Smokin’ Aces).
