Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps

I think there was another thread for this movie. If so please merge.

Story so far ...

Set in New York City, the film takes place 20 years after the original, revolving around the 2008 stock market crash. The film's plot mainly centers around Gekko acting as a more of an anti-hero rather than a villain, and follows his attempts to help Wall Street before its soon-to-be stock market crash, and to repair his relationship with his daughter Winnie (Mulligan); though all of his attempts are unsuccessful. While Gekko is trying to fix his relationship with Winnie, Jake "Jacob"'s (LaBeouf), mentor Lewis (Langella) unexpectedly dies, Jacob blames Bretton (Brolin), and soon after makes a deal with Gekko; Gekko helps Jacob get revenge on Bretton, and Jacob helps Gekko repair his relationship with Winnie, who is Jacob's fiancee.

What Gordon Gekko looks like today, once he's out of prison.

The Actors/Actresses:

Micheal Douglas reprising his role as Gordon Gekko
Susan Sarandon
Josh Brolin
Shai Labouf
Carey Mulligan
Vanessa Ferlito
Frank Langella

And yes Charlie Sheen will reprise his role as Bud Fox, but only in a cameo role.


--------------

I'm torn, I loved the first Wall Street it is my favorite movie of all time. Yet, seeing Shia in this is disconcerting. Oliver Stone being the director again is a bit comforting though.

I'm tired of seeing Shia play the same character in every movie. Maybe this will be his break out role or something.


... or maybe he'll just play the punk kid in over his head, like in all his other movies.

This I do not find acceptable at all.

And Shia just makes it worse.

You should have seen the previous script. This one at least Stone and Douglas approved. This version they at least had a hand in the script and said the previous one Gekko's actions would have been out of character.

also: it was shitty.

Oh god ... terrible.

also set in China.

Moar pics.

I am starting to think this might be good.

Here's the script review by Latino Review.

Gekko tries to "save" Wall Street with Shia? Not only will this be an abomination, it will tarnish the original.

Shia lapoof will be in this tribute to sickening amounts of greed.

Fuck this noise.

Not really.

Gekko when we first see him is on the talk circuit talking about Wall Street.

Behind the scenes he's trying to get back in Investing. That's where Shia's character comes in. He uses Shia and Shia uses him.

It's a worthy sequel to the original.

You haven't seen it yet and you've already made your mind up.

There is no way this will be respectful of the original.
