"Wall Street" Sequel: Michael Douglas, Oliver Stone On Board
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/28/wall-street-sequel-michae_n_192481.htmlMichael Douglas and Oliver Stone are back together again with a sequel to their 1987 hit "Wall Street."
Douglas is reprising his role as Gordon Gekko and Stone is on board again to direct the sequel, which for now has the working title "Wall Street 2," said 20th Century Fox spokesman Gregg Brilliant.
Brilliant said the project is timely and relevant given the state of the world.
"We need to keep the story line under wraps, but it's literally ripped from today's headlines," Brilliant said. "It's going to be very big and very cool."
With the economy and financial markets in a tailspin, it will be different times for Douglas' Gekko. In the original film, corporate raider Gekko was a symbol of Wall Street greed and corruption during the boom era of the 1980s.
