The odds are never good, but if they want to spend the bucks, I guess we can see what happens.

Wall Street II : Money Never Sleeps
Not sure if this is old news but it looks like there's going to be a sequel with Douglas returning as Gordon Gekko.

Personally, I hate sequels to great films but I loved Wall Street and with Douglas returning as one of my favorite onscreen characters....I'll try to stay positive.

"Money Never Sleeps?" I'd prefer "Greed Works!"
or ....."Greed Is Good"

Will apparently include a Charlie Sheen cameo.. oh, goodie. Looks like Shia LaBeouf will be the star which is actually a decent choice as he is prime for more 'real' roles (Eagle Eye, Disturbia, etc he did great).

I remember the famous Gordon Gekko speech in which he declared, "Greed works." It was one of those ironic moments in which the character who was built up to be the bad guy said something that in context made more sense than the rest of the movie.
But it is not actually "greed" at work in the system he was describing. It is far less greedy to seek to keep what one has earned than to demand from others what one has not earned.

Neither, jones07; rather, personal opinion. Any relation to anything political would be coincidental.
Some updates for the few who might care:

Trailer has been out for this..
Since no one is talking about it...
Saw it at the Ziegfeld today. 1 PM showing. Place was near empty. Digital projection looked terrific.
The film itself was good, but not great. Long and certainly technical in the financial talk talk, it is not for everyone and at times I found myself just looking at the architecture, watches on wrists (Lotta of IWC), etc. to keep myself amused.
There is one very powerful scene between Douglas and Mulligan (who I still don't like) and at times the film starts to simmer nicely, but this is just not as good as the original. Stone really goes Hollywood with the ending too.
Worth a rental, but I regret spending $1.75 for the PATH train into NYC, $2.25 subway uptown, $12 for the ticket, $2.25 subway downtown and $1.75 back over the Hudson.

I liked the film and thought it did a pretty job of dramatizing what went down a couple years ago and how we got to the mess we're in now.
Just saw the movie as well. Although not as good as the original, it was decent enough. Douglas gave a great performance as he usually does.
I just watched and thoroughly enjoyed. I've been thinking about it a lot and there are a couple of things I am wondering. Perhaps someone else who has seen this and is smarter than myself can tell me :
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) Spoiler
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) Was CEO who killed himself in front of the train supposed to represent the head of Bear Sterns or Leman Brothers?
and
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) Spoiler
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) towards the end of the show, Gekko tells us that there is no hope for the banks and that they will have to fail no matter what happens. Is that the case in actual life or was that comment just a fiction of the movie?
