Liam Neeson is in talks with movie bosses to star in the upcoming big screen version of The A Team.
The Taken actor has reportedly been lined up to play John 'Hannibal' Smith, the role made famous by George Peppard in the hit 1980s television show.
He is currently in negotiations with 20th Century Fox and producers Tony and Ridley Scott to appear in the movie about four war veterans who escape from a prison to become vigilantes.
The Hangover star Bradley Cooper was recently rumored to be taking on the role of Lieutenant Templeton 'Faceman' Peck, originally played by Dirk Benedict, but he has since denied the claims.
The roles of Captain 'Howling Mad' Murdock and Sergeant 'BA' Baracus have yet to be cast, but rapper-turned-actor Common is rumored to be in the running for Mr.T's iconic role.
Production for the film is due to begin in late August for release next year, according to Daily Variety.
