Never understood Wall Street's appeal.

I think it's a decent film but nothing special.

There was already a sequel it was called Boiler Room. It was damn near better than the first.

Boiler Room was Wall Street for dumb people.

charles, please.

No. Wall Street was a movie of it's time. It was documenting the excess and greed of the eighties (like American Psycho did as well later on). But if you made a sequel it would be an entire different animal. Gekko in the modern world would be lame. They should chronicle the rise and fall of a more modern Wall Street yuppie. He would be like Captain America in the sixties, a man out of his time and his element. And if Douglass and Stone aren't coming back? Forget it.

No more sequels, remakes or reimaginings, please.

Michael Douglas did a photo shoot a few years ago for... can't remember which magazine... where he "reprized" his Gekko character for the shoot. He was very jazzed by the whole thing. Maybe that's where the studio got interested in doing a sequel.

The original is a brilliant and amazing document of the time, just like Bonfire of the Vanities was (the BOOK, not the movie).

I wouldn't be starting with a script on this project. That's where they made their first mistake with Stephen Schiff. I'd be sitting down with Douglas with a pad of paper and just talking about Gekko. Getting the character beats. Who is Gekko after his fall? Who is Gekko after prison? Did he even go to prison? Did he redeem himself? Is he repentant? A changed man or the same person with a changed world around him? Who is Gordon Gekko 20 years later?

Until you know the answers to these questions, you can't proceed. And since Douglas lived in Gekko's body for a long time, I can't imagine proceeding with a script without him or his thoughts. I would dress Michael up as Gekko again and send him out into New York and ask him how he feels. Who is Gordon Gekko NOW?

That's where you go from.

if it's Fox, then it'll be 85 minutes, shot in Toronto, and PG-13.

Certainly the subject matter is worth revisiting but Gekko and Stone's Wall Street is an iconic piece of cinema, better to make something fresh and new with new characters. I love Douglas, love the mans work - even in the most sluggish thriller he's fantastic to watch (wtf was The Sentinel about - but Douglas was great). I want more Douglas just not in Gekko form.

Just look at Carl Ichan. People like Ichan and Gekko can always make money.

IVE BEEN WAITING..... YES OF COURSE! SH*T!!!!!

GOTTA BRING SPADER BACK. "GOTTA HOUSE IN OYSTER BAY, YA KNOW".

Nope. It's gonna be dumb!

Greed is good, eh?

I liked Boiler Room and also thought Wall Street was a great movie. A sequel could be interesting, but usually going back to old movies doesn't work out. Still we've had plenty of rubbish first-time movies remade, so at least this starts with a decent movie (if nothing else)

It would be interesting to see Gekko come back as a hedge fund manager....private equity....short selling...and lots of money and greed.

It's a good idea, I really liked the first Wall Street but some of the acting (Daryl Hanna) was really bad. I would like to see Charlie in it again but what the hell, as long as Douglas is in it with a good script it will be worth the wait.

Well, they beter push this out quick before the economy recovers if its going to sell.
