We’ve known for a while that Oliver Stone was doing a sequel to Wall Street (1987), but now Nikki Finke has details.

I’m told that screenwriter Allan Loeb (21, Things We Lost In The Fire) will hand in his second draft to Fox later this week. I heard Loeb’s first draft was “so great” that Stone didn’t feel the need to touch it.

That’s interesting, considering 21 was a cliché-ridden hunk of sh*t.

I’m told Wall Street 2‘s story spans from June 2008 through the federal bailout. “We wanted to see some perspective in the same way that the original dealt with insider trading,” a source explains to me. Michael Douglas reprises his Best Actor Oscar-winning role as Gordon Gekko. […] As the movie begins, it’s 21 years later and Mr. Greed Is Good has finished serving his prison sentence. He finds himself on the fringe of the financial community. (“Kinda like Jim Cramer or Mike Milken after their disgrace,” an insider tells me.) Gekko is cautioning Wall Street that the “end is coming” — but nobody is listening. So Gordon is obsessed with trying to repair his ruptured relationship with his daughter.

So, kinda like The Wrestler with hair gel instead of steroids.

Enter Shia LaBeouf [DON'T MIND IF I DO. -Ed.], who was reported in negotiations and I can now state is set to co-star. 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, to be played by No Country For Old Men Supporting Actor-winner Javier Bardem. So Shia goes to Gordon saying, “I need your help”, and makes a Faustian deal with Gekko who in return wants Shia’s help getting back with the daughter. From then on, it’s “antagonism” for everyone, my insider says.

Weird, Antagonism for Everyone is the title of my autobiography.  I also have it tattooed on my cock.  (*adjusts reading glasses*)
