Gordon Gekko is back

The deal-making bad boy in Oliver Stone's 1987 "Wall Street" is being revived in a sequel called "Money Never Sleeps," which is being put together by 20th Century Fox and Edward Pressman, who produced the original. Michael Douglas is back in the role of Gekko, who was about to be busted at the end of the original (wonder if he'll still have those 80s-cool britches and slicked-back hair). The timing seems perfect for his return, what with billionaire hedge fund managers, a buoyant stock market, and all those young and greedy punks populating the financial world. The original "Wall Street" didn't fare all that well at the box office and, truth to tell, it wasn't that great a movie (those early generation cell phones look kind of quaint). But it did capture the days when greed was indeed good. Douglas told the NYT's Michael Cieply that he wouldn’t mind if he never had "one more drunken Wall Street broker come up to me and say, 'You're the man!'" Stone will not be directing this time around.
