WALL STREET 2: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS

Synopsis: "Money Never Sleeps" is a sequel to the 1987 popular movie "Wall Street". It follows the actions of a Wall Street trader after his release from prison. The unique nature of the movie is in the fact that in this instance life imitates art, namely the original movie dealt with a fictional airline by the name of "Bluestar Airline" which was the company bankrupted by the fictional character of Michael Douglas. In reality a company named "Blue Star Jets" was in fact started in 2001 by real-life businessmen Ricky Sitomer and Todd Rome. The movie "Wall Street" was a favorite of both Sitomer and Rome and was the reason for the naming of their new company, "Blue Star Jets" which charters private jets. During the filming of "Money Never Sleeps", Oliver Stone in fact utilized the private jet charter services of "Blue Star Jets" to ferry the crew on more than 1 occasion from location to location. Usually art imitates life, in this instance it the reverse, a unique situation for sure that makes this movie an interesting one.

Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps is the sequel to the 1987 Academy Award-winning film Wall Street.  Again directed by Oliver Stone, this film will reprise the roll of Gordon Gekko played by Michael Douglass with Shia LaBeouf and Josh Brolin in lead roles. 

Synopsis:  The film is set 20 years after the first film, in June 2008.  Gordon Gekko has just been released from his prison sentence of 20 years. Despite initial attempts of Gekko trying to warn Wall Street of the soon-to-be economy down-fall and stock market crash no one believes him due to his now defaced image in the financial world. Gekko then decides to re-focus his attention on rebuilding a relationship with his now-estranged daughter Winnie. Due to the time apart (because of his prison sentence), and the fact that Gekko is blamed for his son Rudy's suicide, Winnie avoids any contact with him. During this same period in time, young Wall Street trader Jacob's (Shia LaBeouf) mentor (Frank Langella) unexpectedly dies, and Jacob suspects his hedge fund manager (Josh Brolin) of being involved in his mentor's death. Jacob, who is Winnie's fiance, wants to seek revenge, and agrees to team up with Gekko for help; in return Jacob agrees to help Gekko repair his relationship with Winnie.
