‘Wall Street’ Sequel in the WorksPosted on Apr 29, 2009
What would have happened to the likes of Gordon Gekko, the ultra-sharky villain of Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street,” in the current economic climate? We’re about to find out, as Stone and Michael Douglas, who first brought the unabashedly greedy Gekko to life in 1987, are gearing up to make a sequel to the classic financial cautionary tale.

“At the end of the film, Gekko was headed to the slammer so I wonder what the plot will be?”
Options:
1) He gets out changes his name and becomes the CEO of AIG and CitiBank.
2) He gets out starts a radio talk show then changes his name to Rush Limbaugh
3) He get out, murders a former defense secretary and becomes George W. Bush’s vice-president.

This could be remarkably effective. It sounds terrible, but we need more anger regarding Wall Street, not less.

Amazing how life imitates art or is it the other way around or doesn’t it matter?!

“Greed is good” is back bigger and better than ever, I presume. Maybe Oliver is going to get some old “Savings and Loan Debacle” cheats and crooks for the film. He can hire some of the “best and brightest” twisted minds that worked the Enron scam and portray how they slid on their bellies over to Wall Street because that’s where they were in demand. Also, he could nail some “whistle blowers” to a cross in a statement of what happens to American “losers” who don’t “get” what America is really all about.

What Gekko did in the film is small potatoes compared to the current real life economic mess (e.g. mortgage backed securities, credit default swaps).
At the end of the film, Gekko was headed to the slammer so I wonder what the plot will be?
