Yes, Ryan Reynolds might have his popular name attatched to several different projects right now, including one of DC’s biggest films to date, The Green Lantern. But that won’t stop him from adding another high profile film to his repotoire this year. Reportedly he is set up to work on a buddy cop movie with The A-Team star, Bradley Cooper.

Though the actor still be a hot commodity and someone to watch, he’s watching himself more closely these days, thanks to the underwhelming numbers behind The A-Team. What should’ve been a lauching pad for Bradley Cooper is now a cautionary tale, and it seems M. Night Shyamalan’s secret super-powers project will suffer a loss.

Cooper has dropped out of the Last Airbender director’s next film due to apparent shooting conflicts with The Hangover 2. On the flip side of this, Cooper has been offered the lead against Anna Faris in TMI, a rom-com about two friends who, after a “crazy night,” realize they may be more than friends. Original, yes it is.  [Pajiba]

Despite the super-clandestine process M. Night Shyamalan goes through with each and every one of his screenplays, there’s a bit of plot to chew on for his new project, with Bradley Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow and Bruce Willis currently attached: Read the full story

Once upon a time, the name M. Night Shyamalan was poised to be one of greatness. Sadly, it’s instead become one that induces trepidation and groans. The following news, however, certainly helps to alleviate skepticism around his next project. He’s apparently attracted the likes of Bradley Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow and Shyamalan vet Bruce Willis.

Bradley Cooper, coming off his shirtless performance in The A-Team, has been linked to an upcoming Disney baseball flick. [THR]

The untitled project was pitched as a dramedy by writer Allan Loeb, whose Wall Street sequel comes out in September. It has a fairly standard premise:

[The film] centers on a baseball player who gets injured and has to go back to the minors where the only place he can find lodging is in a senior citizens’ home. There, he meets an old baseball guru who helps lead him back.

It’s difficult to mix drama and baseball well; it’s only been done a handful of times with any success (Field Of Dreams, The Rookie). So it is hard to say how much of a “dramedy” this actually is and how much was just a pitch to get a movie made. To me it feels more in the vein of a pure comedy with a small sentimental backbone (e.g. A League Of Their Own). Or, perhaps, something like Bull Durham. Only time will tell.

Is this a good move for Cooper? Can he act with his shirt on?

“They specialize in the ridiculousness” is a line Jessica Biel spouts early on in The A-Team, and that line represents the film as a whole. It’s nothing but ridiculous. This is the exact idea everyone has for a summer blockbuster: non-stop action, one-liners, not too grounded in reality and flat-out absurd.

For what it is, The A-Team works very well. It embraces its cartoonish elements and knows exactly what type of movie is. It delivers where it needs to and does so enjoyably. Plenty will say it takes itself too seriously- most likely because of the Cooper/Biel romance- but that couldn’t be further from the truth. If anything, it barely takes itself seriously at all.

Variety is reporting that Robert De Niro will be starring alongside Bradley Cooper in Neil Burger‘s suspense thriller The Dark Fields. The film follows a “a down-and-out Gotham writer (Cooper) who comes into possession of a designer drug that gives him newfound intelligence and success. De Niro will play a brilliant financial mogul who begins pursuing Cooper’s character.” Read the full story

Earlier this month we reported McG‘s next project, a romantic comedy titled This Means War. Due to “creative concerns” and the fact that Todd Phillips‘ Hangover sequel is set to shoot in the fall, soon after McG’s July start date, it looks like Bradley Cooper has dropped out [EW].

This Means War is the tale of two best friends, inseparable since childhood, who fall in love with the same woman (Witherspoon). The two men’s bond disintegrates and their ensuing battle escalates to mammoth proportions, with New York City demolished in their wake.”

Good riddance. The project, which has been floating around Hollywood for over 10 years, seems like typical schlock. The synopsis sounds a bit too big for it’s own good and I would rather see Cooper take on more interesting projects.

Were you looking forward to Cooper in McG’s next film? Are you glad he moved on to the next Hangover?
