Douglas, Stone head back to `Wall Street'

13 hours ago


LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Douglas and Oliver Stone are going to show us the money again with a sequel to their 1987 hit "Wall Street."

Douglas is reprising his role as Gordon Gekko and Stone is on board again to direct the sequel, which for now has the working title "Wall Street 2," said 20th Century Fox spokesman Gregg Brilliant.

Brilliant said the project is timely and relevant given the state of the world.

"We need to keep the story line under wraps, but it's literally ripped from today's headlines," Brilliant said. "It's going to be very big and very cool."

With the economy and financial markets in a tailspin, it will be different times for Douglas' Gekko. In the original film, corporate raider Gekko was a symbol of Wall Street greed and corruption during the boom era of the 1980s.

5. I'm intrigued, GG was one of Michael Douglass' best characters

Sequels can be done well, if done as a logical continuation of a saga, or a revisitation of great characters.

7. can't wait - just hope they omit the tedious romantic angle

it was a waste of celluloid in WS-1.

9. American Psycho is a funny movie about Wall Street

No wonder Republicon Homelanders caused Wall Street and America to FAIL.
