Tons of people have stopped Michael Douglas on the street and told him how much Gordon Gekko was their idol… He then disappointed many of them by telling them, “Guys, Gekko was the villain…”

Stone can cover the same ground twice if he has a passion for the story (Platoon was later followed by Born on the Fourth of July), but he still made that lukewarm third Vietnam movie with Tommy Lee Jones called “Heaven and Earth.” I just hope he can find a new aspect of wealth in America to cover in this sequel.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a sequel to Wall Street, as long as it ends with Gordon Gekko and his cronies being stoned and torn to shreds by mobs of enraged working-class people.

Who knows, it could turn out to be a Rocky Horror-type phenomenon where folks come to throw eggs at the big screen!

Actually, I would LOVE to see a good sequel to wall street. It is because of those wall street types that the world economy is decimated today. Back the movie celebrated on one hand the yuppie idolatry of the 80s and at the same time warned against it. For quite a long time , the US had fallen back into that state of mind of uber capitalism gone rampant with a complete lack of morals. So to have a sequal where the big dag gets busted for fraud and walks around freely on bail while the thousands of people who unknowingly had their life savings placed in his hands struggle and to have him in the end get away scotts free (realistic ending, very depressing, that would be the european version-lol) or end up in jail for a long long time (the hollywood version) or better yet end up paying for it via dire personal circumstances (the indie version) -lol – could be very interesting. More over: I’ve always found Michael Douglas to be very very very good a playing utter and complete bastards

But what’s funnier – that the guy spruiking this lame idea is actually named Gregg BRILLIANT, or calling it “Wall Steet 2″? Great title and what a way to alert everyone to a lack of REAL thought, while Douglas attempts to get a vehicle to propel him back to A-list status. BRILLIANT!

Kaiser, I couldn’t agree with you more. This is bad timing, and in questionable taste as well. Not that that really matters, but it might as far as appealing to an audience. Hollywood needs to put an end to all the lukewarm re-hashing and come up with something original.

they can do the sequel as long as they give Gordon Gekko the gigantic cell phone that was the size of a phone book.
