Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is an upcoming American drama film directed by Oliver Stone. The film is a sequel to the 1987 Academy Award-winning film Wall Street, and the first sequel Stone has directed. Michael Douglas will reprise his role as Gordon Gekko in the film. The film will also star Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin, Carey Mulligan, and Frank Langella in supporting roles.

Set in New York City, the film takes place around 20 years after the original, revolving around the 2008 financial crisis.[3] The film's plot mainly centers around the reformed Gekko acting as more of an antihero rather than a villain and follows his attempts to help Wall Street before its soon-to-be stock market crash as well as trying to repair his relationship with his daughter Winnie with the help of Jacob, Winnie's fiance. In return, Gekko helps Jacob get revenge on the man he blames for his mentor's death.

The film's story and screenplay are written by Bryan Burrough, Allan Loeb and Stephen Schiff, respectively.[2] The film will be produced by Stone, Douglas, Edward R. Pressman, co-produced by Eric Kopeloff and executive produced by Alessandro Camen and Celia D. Costas. In September 2009, the film began principal photography in New York and finished filming in November. Despite originally having a tentative February 2010 release date,[4] and a release date of April 21, the film is set to be released theatrically on September 24, 2010.[1]

Plot

The film is set 23 years after the first film, in June 2008,[3] and Gordon Gekko has just been released from prison. Despite his initial attempts to warn Wall Street of the forthcoming economic downturn and stock market crash, no one in the financial world believes him due to his conviction for financial crimes. Gekko decides to re-focus his attention on rebuilding his relationship with his estranged daughter, Winnie. Due to their time apart, and the fact that Winnie blames Gekko for her brother Rudy's suicide, she avoids any contact with him. At the same time, the mentor of young Wall Street trader Jacob unexpectedly dies, and Jacob suspects his hedge fund manager of being involved in the death. Jacob, who is Winnie's fiancé, seeks revenge and agrees to Gekko's offer of help, in return for which Jacob agrees to help Gekko with Winnie.[4]

Cast and characters

Michael Douglas reprises his role as Gordon Gekko.[4] In the film, Gekko has recently been released from prison and, after a failed attempt to warn business leaders of the imminent economic downturn, he decides to try to rebuild a relationship with his estranged daughter Winnie.[4] In October 2008, shortly after Fox greenlit the film, Douglas began to show interest in reprising his role in the film, but said that he would only reprise his role if he liked the script.[5] Stone said "it was as if the role was custom-made for the actor" and added that "the consistency between Gordon Gekko and Michael Douglas was in their charisma and passion, except that Gekko's motives were malevolent" and "both are survivors... men who find a way to succeed, who have willed themselves to second acts in their lives."[6]

Shia LaBeouf portrays Jacob "Jake" Moore,[3][7][8] an ambitious, young proprietary trader who works for Keller Zabe, the film’s fictionalized fusion of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, and is engaged to Winnie.[9] After the death of his mentor, Jacob begins to suspect that his hedge fund manager was responsible. Seeking revenge, he asks Gekko for help, in exchange for which he will help Gekko reconcile with his daughter.[4] LaBeouf's role in the film has been said to be a role similar to that of Charlie Sheen’s in the original.[3] LaBeouf said of playing the role that "I don't know what ... a credit derivative is,", adding that "I don't know what a Cpo is. Ipb. Lvc. You gotta know ticker names."[10] He also said of playing the role and of the film's background of the financial world that he has “no concept” of the "ins and outs of the financial world."[10] As part of getting into character, he chose to stay "skinny" because "hedge funders are big in cardio" and they are "lean."[11]

Josh Brolin plays Bretton James,[7] Jacob's hedge fund manager, who Jacob suspects is involved in the death of Jacob's mentor. Bretton has been described as being the "villain"[12] and will serve as the antagonist.[13] Bretton is presented as a "new style" version of Gekko in the film.[9] It was reported that Javier Bardem was attached to the project and was in final talks to play the villain; however, in July 2009, it was confirmed that Bardem had turned down the project in favor of shooting a film adaptation of the best-selling book, Eat, Pray, Love with Julia Roberts.[14] It was later said that Bardem had turned down the role because if he'd chosen to do both film projects it would have had caused filming and scheduling conflicts and that the actor had had "five or six other offers."[14] Shortly after Bardem dropped out of the role, he was replaced with Brolin; both actors had previously worked with Stone in the 2000s. Brolin said that he had to lose 30 pounds in a month to physically prepare for his role.[11]

Carey Mulligan portrays Winnie Gekko,[15] the estranged daughter of Gekko and Jacob's fiancee. It has been reported that Winnie has not spoken to her father Gordon since he was in prison and that their relationship is estranged since she blames her father for the suicide of her brother, Rudy.[16] Mulligan, who has a British accent, had to speak with an American accent for her role.[17] Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps will be her first major studio role.[15] Frank Langella will play Lewis Zabel,[18] Jacob's mentor who commits suicide after unsuccessfully trying to save his corporation. According to Variety, Zabel's "fate ultimately leads the characters to discover the shady practices of Brolin’s hedge fund manager part."[18] Susan Sarandon portrays Sylvia Moore, Jacob's real-estate agent mother.[19] John Buffalo Mailer plays Robby, Jacob's Long Island fiance friend.[9] Eli Wallach will play an older banker. Vanessa Ferlito will portray Audrey;[7] Stone described the character as a "tough, intelligent trader in the Wall Street trenches."[7] Charlie Sheen will reprise his role as Bud Fox in a cameo appearance, where Sheen's character has a brief encounter with Gekko.[9] Jim Cramer will make a brief appearance in the film; Stone said that he chose to cast Cramer because Cramer was a former hedge fund manager.[20] Natalie Morales,[21] real-estate agent Donald Trump, and Julianne Michelle have minor roles in the film.

Production

Development

In early 2007, The New York Times reported that a Wall Street sequel, then tentatively titled Money Never Sleeps had entered pre-production and was in the early stages of development with a screenplay by Stephen Schiff of The New Yorker.[22][23] Shortly after the film was confirmed, Douglas was reported to be interested in reprising his role as Gordon Gekko, depending on the script.[24] In October 2008 20th Century Fox announced that it had officially green-lit the film, and would serve as a distributor.[5][25] In the same month it was announced that writer Allan Loeb, whose notable work as a writer includes Things We Lost in the Fire, 21, as well as creating the television show New Amsterdam, had been "tapped" to write a script that was being referred to as a "page one rewrite", meaning that he would be starting "from scratch" on the script.[26] According to one of the film's writers Stanley Weiser, director Oliver Stone had been working on a script for the sequel before going on to direct W., and had originally wanted the film to take place in China.[27] Shortly after the film had entered pre-production, it was announced and confirmed that both Charlie Sheen and Daryl Hannah, who had appeared in the first film Wall Street, would not be involved with the sequel, though when confirming that Hannah and Sheen weren't reprising their roles they didn't state a reason.[28][29] It had been implied that Sheen was not expected to reprise his role in the sequel because LaBeouf's role in the film would be similar to Sheen's role in the first film.[3] Despite openly stating that Sheen wasn't going to return, Stone confirmed that Sheen would have a "brief appearance" as Bud and that Sheen's appearance in the film is currently being "worked into" the script.[30]

In May, 2007 it was widely speculated that Stone would not be returning as director,[31] as, on announcing the film, Fox had reportedly stated to Variety that he was not expected to return to direct to the film.[32] Despite these rumors, in April 2009, Fox confirmed that Stone would be returning as both director and producer,[33] alongside Douglas and Edward R. Pressman, who will produce the film under his production company Edward R. Pressman Film,[2] will also serve as the film's only studio production company, unlike the first film where American Entertainment Partners L.P. and Amercent Films were the film's production companies. The film will be co-produced by Eric Kopeloff and Alessandro Camen and Celia D. Costas will serve as executive producer.[2] In addition to Loeb, the film's screenwriter, the film's story is written by Bryan Burrough, and the film's overall writer is Schiff.[2] The film was given a $70 million budget.[34] The New York Times reported that, as part of research for the film, Douglas and Stone had a dinner meeting with Samuel D. Waksal, the founder of the biopharmaceutical company ImClone Systems, who spent five years in federal prison for securities fraud.[35] They also stated that LaBeouf, along with Stone, discussed the financial collapse with multiple hedge fund managers.[35] Stone stated that, earlier in the summer he had taken LaBeouf to a cocktail party, organized by Nouriel Roubini, a New York University economics professor and chairman of a consulting firm who earned acclaim for predicting the financial crisis early.[35] At the party Stone and LaBeouf discussed the financial collapse with Roubini and also discussed hedge fund managers, who are clients of Roubini’s firm. Roubini said that “in this financial crisis it was the traditional banks and the investment banks that had a larger role in doing stupid and silly things than the hedge funds.”[35] Stone also stated that he had conversations with Jim Chanos, a prominent hedge fund manager who had urged him to focus less on hedge funds and more on the banking system, Chanos said, "there was a much more important story, a bigger story, in what happened with the system."[7]

Writing

"He's a quintessentially American story, and seeing how he manages to survive in this new shark tank 22 years later is a fascinating and challenging proposition. So much has changed. Not just Gordon Gekko. The world too."
-Director Oliver Stone on his interest to see how Gordon Gekko will adapt to the new modernness of the financial world in the film.[36]

In October 2008, 20th Century Fox confirmed that writer Allan Loeb, who is a licensed stock broker, had been selected to re-write the script.[37] Stanley Weiser had worked on a treatment for the sequel with the second part set in China. The film was set in the present with Gekko being released from jail. The studio felt that the material was dated and put the project in turnaround. Stone had a falling out with the producer Pressman and began work on W. with Weiser.[38] Weiser's treatment was discarded and the new film began taking shape from an original script by Stephen Schiff.[39] It was reported that Aaron Sorkin had turned down the opportunity to work on the film's script.[3]

In December 2008, while still in the process of drafting, Loeb said that he had been riveted by "The Madoff headlines", and Loeb showed interest in referencing Madoff in the film, noting: "the thing that is so crazy about this story is that Ponzi schemes seem to be the simplest low-class scam," and "but this was carried out in the highest-echelon of high-finance. You couldn't even get in to see this guy unless you had $2 million to invest."[40] However in September, Stone clarified that Madoff will not be mentioned in the film, commenting "Madoff I consider to a be a sociopath; he was a crook running a Ponzi scheme. This is legal. What's going on now is legal. It's legal robbery."[41] In early June, Loeb reportedly handed in his second draft of the film to Fox.[42] Loeb's first draft was "so great" that Stone had said that he did not feel the need to touch it, although he does have the option to be able to make adjustments to the second draft, if he feels the need to.[42] It was reported that Loeb's latest draft for the film had been "strong enough" to convince Stone to return.[3] According to Stone, in March he was still strongly considering returning to the film,[43] and by April had returned after reading Loeb's latest draft for the film.[42] In July, it was reported that Loeb was finalizing the screenplay;[44] Stone said that the script went through some re-writes, saying, "We sort of started over with the story of a young man who is at the center of it, and how he needs Gordon Gekko's help to navigate those waters."[45]

According to Pressman, the new film will be based in four locations, New York, London, the United Arab Emirates and an Asian country.[3][31] One of the character consultants to the new movie will be billionaire Vincent Tchenguiz. Pressman said that Tchenguiz had modeled Gekko but did admit that Gekko was "partly Milken."[31] Pressman said that Gekko will be a more outwardly altruistic figure but, admits, "a leopard doesn't change its spots, despite appearances."[31] Pressman said of the origin of the film's subtitle: "Wall Street was New York- centric. Today the markets are much more global, hence the title of the new film, Money Never Sleeps."[31] Pressman described Gekko's involvement in the film as being "larger than life"[31] and also said of a product placement for the film that, "We did that last time. There was competition between Forbes and Fortune about which of the magazines we used. We went for Fortune and then Forbes wrote a nasty story about the movie."[31] It was reported that Loeb had taken advice from a "number of real Wall Street movers and shakers" to ensure "horrifying accuracy" for the film's script.[46] Stone said that the film will provide more of a social commentary and admitted that he had never expected high finance to "serve again as a tableau for his storytelling". Stone also stated that the film's plot will also showcase the unemployment rate at an all time high and the "our national debt ever climbing."[8] Stone said that he had originally passed on the directing the film, but after the stock market crash he became interested in the directing the film again.[43] Discussing the difference between Wall Street and its sequel, Stone explained, "In the other movie, Charlie Sheen is corrupt at the beginning and he finds a path to integrity. In this movie, it starts out the other way. Shia and Carey are idealists. And their idealism is being threatened."[47] A writer for USA Today believed that the film's story-line "attempts to put the complicated financial schemes that led to the worldwide economic collapse on a human scale."[47]

Script and title

At the time of the films announcement plot details were kept under-wraps.[48][49] During a majority of the film's development process Loeb had been keeping the newly updated script under wraps, but he later announced that the film's plot will primarily focus on Gekko, recently released from prison and re-entering a much more "chaotic" financial world than the one he once oversaw from the previous film.[23] Alex Young, co-president of Fox added that, "we sort of started over with the story of a young man who is at the center of it, and how he needs Gordon Gekko's help to navigate those waters."[7] In August 2009, the entire script was reportedly leaked online.[50] Despite originally having been only tentatively titled Money Never Sleeps at the time of the film's announcement,[23] by June 2009 the film was still using Money Never Sleeps as its working title.[51] However, shortly after the film's title was changed to Wall Street 2.[3] Douglas recalled, "They had another title, Money Never Sleeps, and then Oliver Stone, who directed the first one, read the new script and said 'I want to do it and we're going to call it Wall Street 2.[52] In late 2009, the film's titled was changed to Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.

Filming

The New York Stock Exchange, which was a main filming location and film setting for the first film, will be less featured in the film.

Stone stated that a majority of the film's filming will take place at the Federal Reserve Building, and that The New York Stock Exchange, whose trading floor was a frequent image and major location in the first film, will be less prominent.[30] Stone stated that he chose to not prominently use the Stock Exchange, because interest in stock trading made the system available and comprehensible to everyone and also because it "was foreign territory."[35] Stone said that he chose to use the Federal Reserve building because, "In the original ’87 movie there was no Federal Reserve, we didn’t get into that,” and “But now the world has changed radically. This is part of the bulwark of the system.”[35] Stone also said that another reason for using the Federal Reserve as a main location was because that's where several important financial meetings took place last in September 2008, during the beginning of the Stock Market Crash happened, and due to the film's factual coverage of the stock market crash it will be an important location and setting.[35]

LaBeouf confirmed that the film was going to begin filming in August 2009, commenting, "we’re deep in prep now".[53] The film was reportedly originally set to have had begun principal photography on August 10.[4][42] However, around the same time that Bardem had dropped out of the film, the filming dates were changed multiple times through-out the month of August.[54][55] The film began principal photography on September 9, 2009,[43] in New York City, New York. Due to the film's filming schedule LaBeouf was unable to attend the New York preimere of his film New York, I Love You on October 14.[56] Stone said that of filming that they wereon schedule and on budget, but stated that the constantly changing weather was a "big" problem for filming.[57] He also said that the filming on location process was similar to the first film.[58] While filming Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, LaBeouf said that Douglas was an "opened wound on the set" due to his oldest son's arrest in July for drug trafficking, and added that Stone filmed a "struggling" Douglas.[59] While Sheen was filming his scenes in the film, he "needed a little prodding" to remember his cue during the party scene in which Gekko encounters Fox.[60]

On September 10, Stone filmed scenes with LaBeouf and Langella involving King Charles spaniels in Central Park.[61] Also on September 10, Douglas filmed scenes in New York.[62] On September 11, they began filming in the morning around 76th and 5th and on 82nd Street. On Sunday, September 13, LaBeouf and Mulligan filmed scenes on a motorcycle on West 15th Street,[63] and continued filming scenes involving the motorcycle on September 16, in Chelsea, Manhattan[64] and finished on October 1.[65] On September 18, Douglas filmed scenes of Gekko being released from prison outside Sing Sing maximum-security prison in Ossining, Westchester County.[66] On September 19, LaBeouf and Ferlito filmed scenes in Jersey City.[67] On October 7, LaBeouf and Douglas filmed scenes at the Central Park Zoo in Manhattan.[68] LaBeouf filmed scenes in the Meatpacking District and the following day filmed scenes near the Lincoln Center.[69] On October 10 and 11, 2009, the movie was filmed at Fordham University for the classroom scenes.[70] On October 18, scenes involving LaBeouf, Mulligan and Brolin were filmed in New York.[71] On October 23, LaBeouf and Douglas filmed scenes in various location's of New York.[72] On November 6, LaBeouf filmed scenes on the Upper West Side of New York.[73] In order to film a dining scene between LaBeouf and Douglas, Shun Lee West closed for 24 hours so the two could film scenes at the restaurant for the entire day on November 10.[74] As part of casting extras in the film, Stone and Brolin went to places like RdV at night and asked workers if they would like to be extras in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.[75]
