Shia LaBeouf to star in `Wall Street' follow up
By SANDY COHEN – 12 minutes ago
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shia LaBeouf is heading to Wall Street.
The actor confirms he will appear in "Money Never Sleeps," director Oliver Stone's follow up to "Wall Street."
LaBeouf will star opposite Michael Douglas, who won an Oscar for his role in the original 1987 film.
The "Transformers" star describes the film as "a walk and talk money movie" that's "wordy and heady."
Filming begins in August, an experience LaBeouf says should be like taking a college course — he says he has "no concept" of the ins and outs of the financial world.
"I dont know what ... a credit derivitive is," LaBeouf said. "I have no idea. I dont know what a CPO is. IPB. LVC. You gotta know ticker names."
it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. - sherlock holmes

Though I'm willing to bet that Gekko was double crossed 2 years after the first film.

he fit that character well & he's fine in the right roles, but it seems like Hollywood is trying to make him into a marquee star & I just don't see it.

the choice of Shia is bad in itself, but won't he make Michael Douglas seem even that much older? I guess Hollywood make-up can take care of that, but still seems like an odd choice to pick Shia to star opposite Michael Douglas in this day and time.

Why do you assume that is not the point?

"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 Oscar-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." -- Nikki Finke's summary of Wall Street 2. Creative title! They should stick with Stephen Schiff's Money Never Sleeps.
