‘Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps’ Gets a Trailer

by Joe Gillis, Jan 29 2010 // 11:00 AM

wallstreet2Things have been pretty quiet for the upcoming sequel to Wall Street since we caught a glimpse of some set photos with Shia LeBeouf and Frank Langella a few months ago. Since then, production has finished up and we finally have a trailer to enjoy.

The film follows almost real-time after the events of the original 1987 film. Gordon Gecko is getting out of prison, and wants back in the game, except everything is different now. Douglas joins in with newcomer LeBeouf, as well as some old friends including Charlie Sheen, Susan Sarandon, and Frank Langella.

Given where the economy and Wall Street is today, compared to 1987, you can expect this film to take an interesting turn and border on didactic. Oliver Stone is returning to helm the sequel, who’s best known for his topical films such as World Trade Center and  W, so expect to see some potshots taken at the financial climate.

Check out the first new trailer after the jump, and catch Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps in theaters on April 23rd.

DVD Review: ‘Natural Born Killers’ Unrated Director’s Cut

by Chris Ullrich, Nov 10 2009 // 10:00 AM

natural-born-killers-blu-ray-boxOliver’s Stone’s Natural Born Killers is a movie that, even with its political and social overtones, still stands the test of time. It’s a bravura tour de force motion picture that still pushes the limits of the form to this day. And now, a brand new Uncut Version and Director’s Cut has been released by Warner Home Video, which is sure to delight fans of this controversial motion picture.

An extremely violent satire of modern media that still asks questions 15 years later, the film is a brutal, bloody, surreal and stylized journey along with terrible twosome Mickey and Mallory Knox. Their tri-state killing spree brings questions of the media and its obsession with “celebrity” into focus. Even though this film was created before people like Paris Hilton, or whomever, could be considered a “celebrity” simply by virtue of being on the Internet or videotaping themselves having sex, it predicts a culture obsessed with these pseudo celebs all too realistically.

The story is presented in extremely diverse ways utilizing different colors, film stocks, presentation styles and many other ways, sometimes causing the very sensory overload in the viewer Stone is trying to show has overcome society. This somewhat over-the-top approach to the film only serves to heighten the experience and provides a great deal of fodder for standout performances by leads Woody Harrelson and Juliet Lewis as well as co-stars Robert Downey, Jr., Tommy Lee Jones and Tom Sizemore.

Stone, Douglas Take it to the ‘Street’

by Chris Ullrich, Apr 29 2009 // 9:00 AM

gordongekkowallstreetIt seems that 2009 is the year for remakes, reboots and sequels. Even more so than in years past. With news of a reboot for the Predator franchise, a Dune reboot and a prequel to Alien, now comes word, via the Huffington Post, that Michael Douglas and Oliver Stone are on board for a sequel to Stone’s 1987 ode to greed Wall Street. According to the site, Douglas will reprise his role as Gordon Gekko and Stone will direct from a screenplay by Allan Loeb.

Regarding the story of the film, the site quotes 20th Century Fox spokesman Gregg Brilliant, who says: “We need to keep the story line under wraps, but it’s literally ripped from today’s headlines. It’s going to be very big and very cool.” Brilliant also said the project is timely and relevant given the state of the world.

Douglas is apparently very excited to reprise his role saying Gekko has endured as a character because audiences gave him the “same kind of respect we’ve got for the great white shark.” He’s a villain,” the actor continued. “Gordon Gekko is a great, old-fashioned villain. And, interestingly enough, if you look at most actors’ careers, their biggest achievement, not necessarily success, but (achievement), is playing a bad guy.”

The film, currently carrying the clever title Wall Street 2, starts filming this sumer. No word on if Charlie Sheen will reprise his role as Gekko protégé Bud Fox. However, there’s some speculation around the Internets that Shia LeBeouf may play the latest young turk to learn form the master Gordon Gekko. We’ll keep you updated.
