It appears that Wall Street 2 will begin filming this summer starring Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko and Shia LaBeouf, who is a young Wall Street trader who's engaged to be married to Gekko's estranged daughter.
The Telegraph said that 20th Century Fox told it, "We need to keep the storyline under wraps, but it's literally ripped from today's headlines."
However, Nikki Finke had more details regarding Wall Street 2's plot:
...as the movie begins, it's 21 years later and Mr. Greed (Gekko) Is Good has finished serving his prison sentence. He finds himself on the fringe of the financial community. ("Kinda like Jim Cramer or Mike Milken after their disgrace," an insider with the pic tells me.) Gekko is cautioning Wall Street that the "end is coming" -- but nobody is listening. So Gordon is obsessed with trying to repair his ruptured relationship with his daughter. That juicy actress role isn't cast yet. (But I'd love it if Oliver had the balls to bring back Sean Young as Mom in spite of their notorious falling out during the filming of the original).
Shia wants to be a major player, but his mentor unexpectedly kills himself, and Shia thinks a stock-shorting worldwide hedge fund manager is responsible. Shia seeks revenge on this villain, to be played by No Country For Old Men Supporting Actor Oscar-winner Javier Bardem. So Shia goes to Gordon saying, "I need your help", and makes a Faustian deal with Gekko who in return wants Shia's help getting back with the daughter. From then on, it's "antagonism" for everyone, my insider says.
The movie is set to be filmed in New York, London and Dubai.
