Oliver Stone & Michael Douglas return to Wall Street with Shia Labeouf
This could be a great story to tell in our current economic times.
I haven't seen Wall Street in a very long time so I don't remember the details but this news has forced me to put Wall Street to the top of my Netflix queue. From what I remember, I loved it but I seriously need to see it again.
This past week was host to several big stories, which includes this one. Both director Oliver Stone and actor Michael Douglas have signed up to return to Wall Street, a performance which won Douglas an Oscar in 1987.
Also possibly joining the cast is Transformers star Shia LaBeouf. Entertainment Weekly says, "Shia LaBeouf is in talks to play a young trader in Wall Street 2, which is set 20 years after the first installment."
"The film's plot will revolve around Gekko's life after he gets out of jail during the current economic climate," says EW. During the premiere of Ghost of Girlfriends Past which has Douglas, he told EW, "I think it's time to take another hard look at trading and the economy and what went wrong in the last few years."
Allan Loeb who wrote the film 21 last year hadn't written anything that I've seen but according to EW he's written the script for this film, tentatively title Money Never Sleeps, which is apparently strong enough to warrant Latino Review to use the word "brilliant". LR has one of their awesome video's explaining the story details about Wall Street 2, so head over there to hear the story which proposes another fantastic film which we can all look forward too.
