Picture 1814.pngIt wasn’t one of the names suggested last week but supposedly Josh Brolin will be offered the role turned down by Javier Bardem at some point today. If JB says no to working with Shia LaBeouf, it will next go to Tommy Lee Jones, and then Woody Harrelson until producers run out of names from the No Country For Old Men IMDB page, at which time, you might get your wish (Stephen Baldwin, who probably can’t do it anyway, on account of the bug bites).

    @3 and also as a washed up stripper

    No, no, no! Too 43rd-ish. Make the evil short seller lithium dependent– a little John Mulheren-like for the controlled sense of danger. Forget Brolin, Steve Buscemi, in a Joe Cassano-esque portayal is in order.

    @3 I heard she backed out of the sloth role at the last second to fulfill her life time dream of playing Grimace in the upcoming McG project “McDonaldland”

    They’re overlooking one of the best naked traders in LA…Randy Spears.

    @3 there will be a character based on Maria, but she will be played by Michael Moore

    Well, they should make a prequel to Wall Street, with a young James Cayne played by Matthew McGaaugnahey (spell?), in his Surfer Dude trunks.

    The Buse will play an SEC lawyer who’ll state: “Great things like this only happen for the first time once.”

    Brolin was a good villain in Into the Blue.

    There should be no debate here. The choice is clearly, LORD HUMONGOUS.

    Alan Rickman would be an ideal candidate, sitting on a beach earning twenty percent.

  25. Posted by guest | July 27, 2009 at 1:37 PM

    If Buscemi gets the casano role, I’d love it if they could work in a “shut the fuck up Joe.”
    And I think they easily work in Goodman as an overweight floor trader.

  26. Posted by guest | July 27, 2009 at 1:39 PM

    Karl Hungus would make a great a great Marc Rich.

    Al Pacino as the aging MD with a sense of humor.

  39. Posted by guest | July 27, 2009 at 1:50 PM

    Gerard Butler. And make sure there’s a lot of shirtless action in the Reebok Sports Club with Charlie Gasparino cameos in the locker room and spin classes. Oh, and grunting too– with a lawsuit.

    Going long any other movie when this steaming pile hits the theaters. He just needs to add Barbara Streisand and Oprah to bring in the ignorant lemming audience just to break even.
    Fuck Oliver Stone!

    I refuse to watch this movie unless Corey Feldman is playing a leading role, preferably as the young punk with a loud mouth.

    WHy just one evil short seller? Should be a SPECTRE-type group of global evil-doers conspiring to f*ck the SEC and all the poor retail investors.
