A-Team Hoping to Recruit Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Adaptation, Casting, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases
The success of The Hangover has put Bradley Cooper on the A-Team.
Cooper’s $45 million weekend was just capped off with news of a makeover. The former Alias star is now in official talks to join a big-screen adaptation of the NBC series. Bradley is line to play Lt. Templeton Peck (a.k.a. “Faceman” or “Face”), the part originated in the ‘80s by Dirk Benedict.
Actor Liam Neeson could also make up a quarter of that memorable group. The Taken star is currently in negotiations to step in as Col. John “Hannibal” Smith. That cigar-smoking character was made popular by George Peppard.

Al Pacino and Robert De Niro’s First Joint TV Interview
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Celeb News
Admittedly, this is a very painful clip to watch. (It’s riddled with awkward pauses.) Having said that - it’s still a noteworthy event for film lovers. For the first time ever, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro have given a joint TV interview. Unfortunately for Brian Williams, he was the one given the responsibility of conducting it.
The two intimidating actors sat down with the NBC news anchor to promote their new film Righteous Kill. (The movie opens today.) Although this is the third project they’ve both been in together (The Godfather: Part II and Heat being the others), this is the first time they’ve shared a good portion of the scenes.
After watching the interview, ask yourself: “Could James Lipton - or anyone - have handled this better?”

In this video, Hellboy (a.k.a. Ron Perlman) has a sit down with Bravo’s own James Lipton.
You can see other clips with NBC stars after the jump.

A-Team Coming to Theaters Next Year
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Upcoming Releases
Earlier this year, Knight Rider was resurrected as a two-hour television movie. Now another ‘80s program will soon be doing one better. Come 2009, NBC’s The A-Team will become a big screen movie.
The hugely popular series, which ran from 1983-87, revolved around four former Special Forces soldiers who were running from a “crime they didn’t commit”. While evading capture, the four characters - Face, Hannibal, B.A. Baracus and Murdock - made a living for themselves by working as soldiers of fortune.
Paramount has set a June 12, 2009 release date for the show’s adaptation. Although no actors have yet been cast for the film, John Singleton - who most recently directed 2005’s Four Brothers - will be helming the project. Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (3:10 to Yuma) will be in charge of the script.

In the past couple of days, we’ve learned of two more females added to the upcoming Star Trek film. Winona Ryder (The Age of Innocence) and Jennifer Morrison (House) will now be joining actress Zoe Saldana in the male-heavy cast.
Although director J.J. Abrams is being tight-lipped about Morrison’s role in the film, he has denied speculation that she will play secretary Yeoman Rand. Meanwhile Ryder has been cast as Amanda Grayson, the human mother of young Spock (Zachary Quinto). Saldana, as previously announced, will be starring as Lt. Uhura.

Bee Movie: A Honey of a Flick?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: DreamWorks, Animation, Family, Upcoming Releases
Former NBC golden boy Jerry Seinfeld, who lives on in syndicated sitcom glory every single day, will celebrate the release of his Bee Movie project this fall. Seinfeld co-wrote the script and lent his voice talent to the film, alongside co-star Renee Zellweger. Dreamworks, the company famous for the Shrek franchise, is behind the Bee Movie – a regular bee-meets-girl kinda thing. The bee in Bee Movie is Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld), who meets and becomes pals with a human florist (Zellweger). The impressive trailers have featured everything from animated clips to funny one-liners delivered by Seinfeld (in a huge bee costume) and director Steven Spielberg, and the Dreamworks association is promising. Could Bee Movie be enough to propel Seinfeld back into the celebrity A-list? Animated bees are funny, right?
