Wall Street 2:Money Never Sleeps - International Trailer
Fri, February 19, 2010 I liked the first US teaser for Oliver Stone's unlikely sequel but this full International trailer has me completely sold, here we get a great look at what appears to be an entertaining dynamic between Douglas' Gekko and Shia's young hotshot character, a dynamic that is set against the backdrop of what looks to be a slick thriller set in the world of big money and featuring some devilish humour.
This may be another in an ever increasing list of "Late" sequels of 80's hits, but I get the feeling this will deliver more than a mere cash-in, I mean how big of an audience is there on nostalgia alone for Gordon Gekko? a great character yes but hardly a Rambo or John McClane.
The other thing here is a chance for Shia LaBeouf to showcase his acting abilities for the mainstream who haven't seen his excellent performance in "A Guide to Recognizing your Saints" against top acting heavyweights like Douglas and Brolin.
"Wall Street 2:Money Never Sleeps" opens April 23rd and you can check out the trailer below.

While I will go see this film, I do think this looks very similar to the first film. Only with Shia instead of Charlie Sheen. True, this is not a film that people gravitated toward like Die Hard, etc. But, Oliver Stone has been on a bit of a downward spiral. Even his George W. Bush film was not all that big, and that was made at the height of Bush hate! Oliver Stone needs a true hit, and I can see this being an attempt at that. But, I can also see this easily going the other direction and being a sequel that wow me upon viewing. I think both are distinctly possible, but I'm not going into this sequel like I am, say, Iron Man 2. I'll wear Iron Man 2 apparel and count down the days to that. You won't see me buy Gordon Gekko underwear, on the other hand.
