Wall Street 2 Set Photos: Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf…
The Daily Mail has just posted the first photos of Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf and Frank Langella on the set of “Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps.” The film will also star Josh Brolin, Carey Mulligan, Susan Sarandon, Vanessa Ferlito and Charlie Sheen. Oliver Stone is directing.
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.
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.

Oscar nominated Langella (“Frost/Nixon”) will play Lewis Zabel, a mentor to Shia LaBeouf’s character, a young Wall Street broker.
Allan Loeb (”21,” “Things We Lost In The Fire”) has scripted the project. The story reportedly finds Gekko finishing his prison sentence and attempting to reconcile with his estranged daughter, who is dating LaBeouf’s character.

The documentary will focus on Chavez’s “South American revolution” and the opposition to his leadership in Venezuela and abroad.

“W.” Movie Reviews
More questions than answers are brought up with Oliver Stone‘s W., and not just in terms of the movie’s content, but its creation as well.
Why make a movie about George W. Bush and release it only three weeks prior to the election escorting him out of the White House? That’s the first one that comes to mind, but as the movie plays out you quickly realize there doesn’t seem to be an agenda of any kind, at least not an obvious one, which only reinforces the question. Stone, a liberal more than willing to say his share when asked, treats the subject matter extremely honestly, so honest actually that it feels abridged and lacking guts.
