New Images: Douglas & LaBeouf On Wall Street 2

By: Craig Sharp

Wall Street 2 CroppedThis week bring’s film fans a host of brand new images from the set of Oliver Stone’s sequel Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps. Promted by the recent worldwide economic crisis, Wall Street 2 sees the return of villainous Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), who returns to big business just in time to show young Shia the ins and outs of cutthroat financial profiteering.

The pics catch Shia LaBeouf and Douglas’ Godron Gekko in the middle of what seems to be a midday tete-a-tete in the park, eating the staple New York diet – hot dogs and pretzels!

Famous onscreen villain Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) returns to the big screen with Wall Street 2, once again directed by Oliver Stone. This installment promises a “ripped from the headlines” plot, with Gekko teaching co-star Shia LaBeouf the ins and outs of criminal investments. Frost/Nixon’s Frank Langella co-stars along with Susan Sarandon.

Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps crashes into UK theatres on 23rd April 2010, piccies below courtesy of Splash News:

    At first, I wondered why they are making Wall Street 2--it was a movie that made a statement about greed and taught its audience a lesson about how big business and trading are cutthroat. The statement about the plot being ripped from the headlines makes me think twice. It must be adapting its previous statement to current big financial events in the US. My first thought was the Enron scandal, but something around 10 years later seems to be a bit late for that. Maybe it's government bailouts? Supposedly, the mission of the two main characters is to warn the world of impending economic doom and to discover who killed Shia's character's mentor (this accoridng to IMDb).

    I'm not sure who's confused that the global economy is in trouble and thus in need of warning but I suppose that does come from headlines. Still, I am hesitant to get enthusiastic about this project, in part because I've been burned by sequels in the past (as have we all), and in part because this seems completely out of the blue, making it a suspiciously likely candidate to be another sequel-for-the-sake-of-a-sequel.
