Josh Brolin in W.

Josh Brolin may end up playing the villain in Oliver Stone's upcoming "Wall Street 2" (also known as "Money Never Sleeps"), according to Nikki Finke.

Javier Bardem was originally set to take on the role opposite Michael Douglas and Shia LaBeouf, but he recently dropped out of the project.

Finke says Brolin received an offer, and if he made a deal, "Street 2" would mark yet another collaboration between the actor and Stone. Brolin previously starred in "W."

Allan Loeb ("21") wrote the script for the sequel, which is said to start shooting soon. Brolin's got "Jonah Hex" coming up soon as well.

Movie Review: “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past”

Seen on: May 1, 2009

The players: Director: Mark Waters, Writers: Jon Lucas, Scott Moore, Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Breckin Meyer, Lacey Chabert, Robert Forster

Facts of interest: Mark Waters also directed "Mean Girls," "Freaky Friday" and "Just Like Heaven."

The plot: Connor Mead is a famous photographer who despises love and marriage, until he's visited by three ghosts who show him just how big a prick he really is.

Our thoughts: Trust me, you can certainly live happily ever after without seeing Mark Waters’ latest comedy “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.” I wouldn’t go as far and say I hated the film, but its lack of an original story line and the absence of laughs really made it hard for me to fall for this one.

Trailer radar: 'Ghosts of Girlfriends Past'

Ever afraid one of your past girlfriends will come back to haunt you?

That's exactly what happens to Matthew McConaughey in Mark Waters' latest romantic comedy "The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," which hits theaters May 1, 2009. Here is the official synopsis:

Celebrity photographer Connor Mead loves freedom, fun and women... in that order. A committed bachelor who thinks nothing of breaking up with multiple women on a conference call, Connor's mockery of romance proves a real buzz-kill for his kid brother, Paul, and a houseful of well wishers on the eve of Paul's wedding.

Just when it looks like Connor may single-handedly ruin the wedding, he is visited by the ghosts of his former jilted girlfriends, who take him on a revealing and hilarious odyssey through his failed relationships--past, present and future.

Together they attempt to find out what turned Connor into such an insensitive jerk and whether there is still hope for him to find true love...or if he really is the lost cause everyone thinks he is.

Check out the trailer for the film below. I am not opposed to such a story, but then again, I hope they can play this game for more than 90 minutes without getting too boring or monotonous.
