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.
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.

“Leaves of Grass” Poster
Today, we have the poster for comedic thriller “Leaves of Grass,” which features two characters that Ed Norton (Incredible Hulk) will be playing.
Yesterday news broke that Susan Sarandon and Richard Dreyfuss had signed on to “Leaves of Grass,” the new film from Tim Blake Nelson.
Nelson wrote the movie with Norton in mind to play twin brothers. Bill Kincaid is a buttoned-up Ivy League philosophy professor; his pot-growing twin brother lures him back to his hometown in rural Oklahoma for an ill-conceived deal to bilk a local drug-lord (Richard Dreyfuss), described by Nelson as being like “a Jewish T. Boone Pickens in the Tulsa Jewish community”. Bill gets entangled in his brother’s schemes and implicated in a murder, and his ordered philosophical life starts to fall apart. Also starring in the film are Susan Sarandon as Bill’s estranged mother and Keri Russell as a love interest for one of the brothers. Nelson will play the friend of one of the brothers.
