Greed is still good!
While the economy is floundering, Hollywood still seems to be able to find ways to finance crappy movies.
Hollywood’s latest endeavor is a sequel to 1987’s Wall Street. It will be a contemporary companion to the original.
It’ll see Michael Douglas’ Gordon Gekko released from jail and tossed into the current economic crisis. While Douglas isn’t formally attached to the film, they seem to be banking on it.
Charlie Sheen’s Bud Fox will not be returning to the sequel.
The original’s producer, Edward R. Pressman, will be reprising his role in the sequel. Allan Loeb – whose credits include Things We Lost in the Fire – will pen the script. Loeb’s experience as a licensed stockbroker and at the Chicago Board of Trade should come in handy.
But will people be willing to fork over $12 for the 20th Century Fox film? Is it relevent or just gimmicky?
