"Sequel to 1987's Wall Street. Follows formerly incarcerated financier Gordon Gekko in modern times. Gekko, whose book Moral Hazzard has launched him onto the financial lecture circuit, meets a young, Wall Street hot-shot named Jacob L. Moore whose mentor committed suicide after rumors of insolvency destroyed his former company, KZI. When Moore discovers that a trader named Brenton Woods is behind KZI's downfall, he goes to Gekko for help in masterminding a revenge scheme against Woods. The only catch? Moore is engaged to Gekko's estranged daughter and must reunite the pair in exchange for her father's help. Taking place in New York, London and Dubai, the film is said to continue the financial thriller tradition of the original while also being incredible relevant to today's times.
June 2, 2009 - Oscar winner Javier Bardem has reportedly been cast as the heavy in Wall Street 2 for 20th Century Fox and director Oliver Stone.
Michael Douglas will reprise his Oscar-winning role as Gordon Gekko, now a disgraced tycoon who is trying to atone for his past and rekindle his relationship with his estranged daughter. Shia LaBeouf is now set to co-star as a young trader who is engaged to Gekko's daughter, a role that hasn't been cast yet.
Deadline Hollywood Daily says that the No Country for Old Men star Bardem will play a nefarious hedge fund manager. The site also recaps some previously reported plot buzz: "Shia is a young Wall Street trader who's engaged to be married to Gekko's estranged daughter. Shia wants to be a major player, but his mentor unexpectedly kills himself, and Shia thinks a stock-shorting worldwide hedge fund manager is responsible. Shia seeks revenge on this villain." Shia's character turns to Gekko for help, who agrees but wants him to help patch things up with his daughter in return.
The site adds that the Allan Loeb-scripted story "spans from June 2008 through the federal bailout." Wall Street 2 reportedly begins filming August 10 in New York City for a February 2010 release.
