Who's new in Wallstreet 2 and a semi plot of the new movie.
Good news for the Wall Street 2 movie. Josh Brolin will be joining Shia LaBeof (don’t get me wrong I like the guy but what kind of name is this REALLY?), Michael Douglas, and Oliver Stone for the next edition Wall Street. He will play a slick, conniving Hedge fund manager. Shia LaBeouf will be playing an ambitious young trader dating Michael Douglas’s (Gordon Gekko) daughter. Douglas in the movie has just been sprung from prison sometime in the late 90’s. Having Josh Brolin in the movie is a truly smart choice. After seeing Brolin in No Country For Old Men, he is truly one of the few actors today who could hang with Michael Douglas’s ruthless Gordon Gekko. Filming for the movie starts next month and is slated for early 2010. I think it’s amazing how Wall Street hasn’t changed in the last 2 decades. The products they sell are different but with the collapse of the current market shows the ideas and shark like nature portrayed in the first movie are alive and well today. Oliver Stone in his fanatical way always brings a fresh view into what ever subject material he is putting forth to the movie audience. Wall Street is a good representation of this but I think his best commentary type of movie was Any Given Sunday. This go around should be grittier and darker then the original Wall Street. I’m not a big fan of Charlie Sheen. It still would be cool if he made appearance in a movie to warn Shia LaBeouf of following the wrong path, but there has been no discussion of him making a return. Here’s the trailer for the 1987 Wall Street:
