Patrick Wilson (Watchmen, Hard Candy) is set to join the cast of “The A-Team” as a CIA operative, according to Entertainment Weekly. Wilson will be possibly assigned to hunt down the war vets convicted of a crime they didn't commit and are now on the run as fugitives while helping the oppressed seek justice. He is joining Liam Neeson (John “Hannibal” Smith), Bradley Cooper (Templeton “Face” Peck), Sharlto Copley (H.M. “Howling Mad” Murdock), Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (B.A. Baracus) and Jessica Biel (Faceman's ex-flame).
The story keeps the premise of the classic 80's TV series but will take a more serious tone with the story of four war vets wrongly convicted of armed robbery escape from a military prison to become mercenaries helping the impoverished.
The film will be directed by Joe Carnahan (Narc, Smokin' Aces), produced by Ridley and Tony Scott, with screenplay written by Derek Haas, Michael Brandt, Skip Woods and Stephen J. Cannell (characters).
Production on The A-Team has already started in Vancouver, and the film is scheduled to hit theaters on June 11th, 2010.
