Starring in the film will be Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko who is fresh out of prison and ready to re-establish himself on Wall Street.  Shia LaBeouf will also be in the movie.  He’ll be playing the role of a young trader that’s going out with Gekko’s daughter.  The whole movie will be set along the backdrop of our current economic meltdown… specifically the Bear Sterns debacle.

I can’t remember being as excited for a movie as I am for Wall Street 2.  To read more about the upcoming sequel check out this article.
