‘District 9′ Star To Be Cast As Howling Mad?

 

Joe Carnahan’s big screen A-Team adaptation is gaining a lot of steam lately and it now looks like the final castmember is about to fall into place. Latino Review tipped us off to a report that Sharlto Copley has been tapped for the role of "Howling Mad" Murdock. Though he’s pretty much a non-actor, Copley wowed audiences with his performance as Wikus in this summer’s District 9. The end result will be interesting to see. Of course, a lot is riding on the character’s on-screen chemistry with Quintin "Rampage" Jackson’s B.A. Baracus. The danger here being that if they get along too well, Baracus will dry hump him. I strongly recommend that the producers implement the use of a safe word on set.
