Michael Douglas, Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps
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 Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) 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.
Charlie Sheen Joins “Wall Street 2″
“Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps” shooting begins this week in New York, 23 years after its predecessor – Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street.”
“I thought it was a bubble that was over,” Mr. Stone said of the 1980s. “I thought those days were going to come to an end. The excess.”
The story finds Gordon Gekko finishing his prison sentence and attempting to reconcile with his estranged daughter. “Wall Street” could be a movie about second chances.
“When Gekko (Douglas) comes out of prison in the beginning of this movie, he essentially has to redefine himself, redefine his character,” Stone said of the sequel’s story. “He’s looking for that second chance.”
Oliver Stone has just confirmed to NY Times that Charlie Sheen, who played the central role of Bud Fox, a young trader, in the original, will make a cameo in his upcoming “Wall Street” sequel.

Sarandon will play the mother of a young Wall Street trader (Shia LaBeouf) who falls under the seductive influence of Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas).
Carey Mulligan’s character is romantically linked to LaBeouf’s, a young Wall Street broker on his way up. Oscar nominated Langella (”Frost/Nixon”) will play Lewis Zabel, a mentor to Shia LaBeouf’s character.
