Unavoidable “Wall Street” Sequel Greenlighted By Fox
In these times of economic uncertainty caused in part by some unethical Wall Street types, 20th Century Fox decided to work on a sequel to the 1987 classic, “Wall Street”. Wall Street is a 1987 American film directed by Oliver Stone and features Charlie Sheen as a young stockbroker desperate to succeed and a wealthy but unscrupulous corporate raider (Oscar-winning Michael Douglas) whom he idolizes.
Frankly, a sequel of that movie would not be bad to see after all. That’s because, Watching Wall Street in 2008, the film seems quite dated; there are huge ’80s hairdos, cheesy music and mobile phones the size of a Subway footlong sandwich.

Unless you live under a rock or have a Swiss bank account, you’re probably freaking out about the economy like the rest of the world. So with the country’s focus on Wall Street, it probably isn’t a huge surprise to learn that Fox is continuing to develop a sequel to the 1987 film “Wall Street,” now picking up an extra writer on the project. Titled “Money Never Sleeps,” according to The Hollywood Reporter the film’s plotline is being kept under tight wraps, but the script is being penned by Allan Loeb. And yes, it will feature the character of Gordon Gekko, who was made infamous by a slick-haired Michael Douglas. Reportedly, Douglas is interested in playing the character again, but will decide whether to return when he sees the script.
