Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

[anakin]

As the global economy teeters on the brink of disaster, a young Wall Street trader partners with disgraced former Wall Street corporate raider Gordon Gekko on a two-tiered mission: To alert the financial community to the coming doom, and to find out who was responsible for the death of the young trader's mentor.

I've just read that this is released 23 April 2010.

Oliver Stone opened fire on the greed decade of the 1980s with this morality tale set on Wall Street. It stars Charlie Sheen as Bud Fox, an ambitious rookie stockbroker from a blue-collar background who is mesmerized by Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), a Mephistophelean superbroker who specializes in corporate takeovers. Despite his initial resistance to Bud's entreaties, Gekko finally takes on the eager beaver as his protégé, schooling him in the kind of slash-and-burn maneuvers that have taken Gekko to the top. This style is far more attractive to Fox than the more prosaic but principled approach to investing preached by veteran Lou Mannheim (Hal Holbrook). And, at first, it's impossible to dispute his preference; as Bud's life moves into the fast lane, he quickly acquires an upscale apartment and a girlfriend to match, interior designer Darien (Darryl Hannah). But when Gekko demands that Bud not only break the law but directly undermine his union-leader father, Carl (Martin Sheen), and jeopardize the jobs and lives of his friends and family, he realizes that the cost of success might be more than he's willing to p*y. WALL STREET is a riveting, testosterone-fueled tour of the Street's upper echelons, featuring standout performances by Michael Douglas and Martin Sheen.

I wonder if Michael Douglas will do promo work for the film given his recent diagnosis of cancer.

Shia LaBeouf loved working with Michael Douglas on the eagerly awaited 'Wall Street' sequel.

LaBeouf plays Gordon Gekko's protege in the forthcoming 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps'. And the 'Transformers' star has nothing but praise for the Oscar winning actor - who was recently diagnosed with cancer. It's the latest blow for Douglas - whose son was recently jailed for drug dealing offences.

LaBeouf said, "When you walk onto a set like this, where it’s sacred ground, there’s a legacy at stake. But your mascot puts you at ease.

"He is a wolf, and he is a strong man. And I know of his vulnerabilities. When he came to set... he was dealing with a lot, but never was it, 'Woe is me'. Ever.

"They're going to remember him forever. You can't say that about a lot of people. He's an American institution. It's intimidating and incredible and exhilarating and rewarding (to work with him)."
