Liam Neeson is "Hannibal" Smith

I like Liam Neeson, I also like the A-Team, but I don't think this is a good match. [Link]

Liam Neeson is in negotiations with 20th Century Fox to star in its long-gestating big-screen adaptation of The A-Team as Col. John "Hannibal" Smith, and Bradley Cooper is in early talks to play Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck in the Joe Carnahan-directed movie based on the 1980s TV series, Variety reported.

I could much more easily see George Clooney as "Hannibal". Can we get a different plan to come together?
