So they are apparently making a sequel to Wall Street called 'Money Never Sleeps' with Michael Douglas. When I saw that movie, Gordon Gekko was an ass, I had never heard of ibanking,but I still wanted to be him. Cant wait! And I can bet there will be hedge funds in the plot...
Gordon Gekko's words of wisdom: "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit."
"No feelings. You don't win 'em all, you don't love 'em all, you keep on fighting and if you need a friend, get a dog."
"We make the rules - the news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the cost of a paper clip... you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy are you? It's the free market."
"Lunch? Are you joking? Lunch is for wimps."
lol im pretty sure everyone here in an ibanking forum knows the lines inside and out. Looking forward to the movie...but have a feeling it wont be nearly as good as the first one.
I'm looking forward to it, I've watched Wall Street and Boiler Room so many times I could probably act out both movies in their entirety on the spot. I'm still waiting on that interview where they ask me to do that.

Is this what you are talking about?
damn, that is mad weird, BBC ran something on it, and doesnt sound like its been released yet http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6628101.stm And I think if there was a Gordon Gekko sequel out, I would have heard of it. But that looks legit too...
You're hilarious!
The movie will most likely suck. Will I go see it? Sure, but I'm not expecting much.
Sequel to "Wall Street" to be made! (Originally Posted: 05/06/2007)

check it out....this should be interesting.
nice, guess I'll go back and watch the first one
Now a new generation of Gekko wannabes
you know that a crash is imminent once another wall street kind of movie comes out...
..I was thinking the exact same thing..but I can't wait for the film to come out nonetheless - I admire the Gekko character's ruthlessness!
i reckon that once high finance comes to attention of the mainstream, you know that it has become too excessive.
kinda like the way all the middle class suburbanites rushed out to soup their honda accords up after fast and the furious came out...
Thats right bitch, Honda Accord......................"Deluxe Edition"!!!!!!11!1!1!!!111
Film’s Wall Street Predator to Make a Comeback
By MICHAEL CIEPLY Published: May 5, 2007
LOS ANGELES, May 4 — Greed is still good.
Or so those at 20th Century Fox hope. Even as their boss, Rupert Murdoch, pursued an uninvited takeover bid for Dow Jones this week, Fox movie executives quietly sealed a deal to revive Gordon Gekko, the suspender-loving financial prowler who made grabbing seem good in Oliver Stone’s 1987 film, “Wall Street.â€
When last seen, the corrupt Gekko, an Oscar-winning role for Michael Douglas, was on the brink of surrendering his white cuffs for handcuffs, having been sold out by his protégé Bud Fox, played by Charlie Sheen.
“He went to jail,†acknowledged Edward R. Pressman, who produced the original movie and reached an agreement with Fox this week to develop a sequel in which Mr. Douglas will resume his machinations on a global scale in the hedge-fund era. Mr. Pressman declined to say more about the plot. But the title, he said, will be “Money Never Sleeps,†after one of Gekko’s guiding principles in the first film, written by Stanley Weiser and Mr. Stone.
“Wall Street†was only a modest hit when Fox released it. But it won a passionate following in the financial world, where many found something to love in the predatory Gekko. Speaking by telephone from Bermuda, Mr. Douglas said he wouldn’t mind if he never had “one more drunken Wall Street broker come up to me and say, ‘You’re the man!’ â€
Mr. Stone will not direct the sequel, although the producer said that Messrs. Pressman and Douglas and their new writer, Stephen Schiff (“True Crimeâ€), pressed him to do so for months. Mr. Schiff, who expects to deliver a script later this year, said the Bud Fox character was likely to be missing as well. But a restyled Gekko, he predicted, might start setting trends all over again.
“If you weren’t wearing suspenders before ‘Wall Street,’ you were certainly wearing them after,†he said. As for moral development, don’t expect too much from a villain who taught us that lunch is for wimps, and who bragged: “I create nothing. I own.â€
“I don’t think he’s much different,†Mr. Douglas said. “He’s just had more time to think about what to do.â€

20th Century Fox is developing a sequel to Oliver Stone’s 1987 drama Wall Street. The studio has signed deals with the original producer and also the writer. Stephen Schiff script Money Never Sleeps will follow Gordon Gekko’s release from jail and entry into the exciting world of hedge funds. The project is being set-up as a potential starring vehicle for Michael Douglas. Oliver Stone is not expected to return as director.
Wall Street has a lot of classic lines (â€Greed is Good.†“Lunch is for wimps.†“What’s worth doing is worth doing for money.†“If you need a friend, get a dog.â€) and some amazing speaches. You can watch Douglas’ Oscar-winning speech after the jump, as well as the film’s theatrical trailer.
3rd time this has been posted I think... but I am still excited for the sequel.
I can't wait...

So what do you do? -I work for an investment banking firm. Oh okay; you are like my brother, he works for Edward Jones. -No, a college degree is required in my profession
Fuck yeah Bitches
I guess 2009: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1027718/
I loooove the way the economist is written. It's light-hearted but still sounds so smart.
This movie has been thrown around for years. It's not a new concept. Stone's been talking about it for about 5-6 years now and Michael Douglas has said repeatedly that he would love to work with Oliver Stone again, so this is a natural fit. Hopefully he chooses to wait a bit before he releases it instead of having the W effect of releasing a film too quickly in order to bias people.
