Gordon GECKO? Anyone? Shut up.
Michael Douglas is coming back to Wall Street to reprise the role of Gordon Gekko, the character who inspired a generation of douchebags. Oliver Stone will direct the Fox (uh oh) production, with Shia LaBeouf still in negotiations.
Just as “Wall Street” epitomized the high-flying 1980s with Gekko’s motto “greed is good,” the sequel [still called Wall Street 2, which I doubt will stick] is expected to mirror the latest news from the credit crisis and the recession. Production on the sequel is expected to begin this summer, and the screenplay comes from Allan Loeb, who helped pen the 2008 gambling movie “21″ starring Kevin Spacey. [Yahoo, Variety]
Ooh, ripped from the headlines – it’ll be like Law and Order on the big screen. And with Oliver Stone at the helm, what could go wrong? He has a reputation for even-handedness, you see.

Mr. Gekko, Prince Mbawabe on line three for you about some sort of monetary exchange.
isn’t Michael Douglas dead yet.
Greed is so good in fact that I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance.
I don’t think we have to worry about WS2 turning this generation into douchebags. They’re already there.
GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
Shia…for lack of a better actor…is Good.
Oliver Stone huh? So I guess Josh Brolin should polish up his W character a little more? Surely Ollie’s going to blame this on him too.
At first glance, I thought that was the Gray Power

It’s gonna be a shame to see soy lattes replacing coke as the vice of choice.
Lunch is for wimps, but early dinners, on the other hand…
Personally I prefer Diet Coke.
Ooooh, nevermind.
Just keep Darryl Hannah’s crazy ass away from this.
the sequel [still called Wall Street 2, which I doubt will stick]
It just may, aren’t there already too many movies named Crash?
N’up
If I slick my balls with hair gel it slightly resembles Michael Douglas. Also, I’d take stock advice from my greased up balls before I would Michael Douglas.
Dammit Donk, I was going to make the Geico joke.
Anthropomorphic Gordon Gekko is the new Raptor Jesus
