It 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).
Josh Brolin To Play "Evil" Short-Seller In Wall Street Sequel?

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.

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

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.
