GREED IS GOOD - DOUGLAS IN 'WALL STREET' SEQUEL


Greed is good...

Ah, so the words of Michael Douglas in the 1987 classic Oliver Stone drama "Wall Street."

Hemingway would've like those lines, which, by the way, won the thesp a statuette for best actor.

Good news. A sequel to is to be made with Douglas returning as money-crazed mogul Gordon Gekko, one of the best movie villains of all-time. Producer Edward R Pressman recently told the New York Times he had signed to develop a sequel called "Money Never Sleeps," which is another Gekkoism.

For those a wee bit young, the famous Douglas character came to represent the wretched excess and power boom of the Reagan-era '80s.

While Gekko went to jail at the end of the first film, Pressman wouldn't give up any details regarding the sequel's plot.

For those looking for director Oliver Stone, don't bother. The helmsman turned down the opportunity to make the follow-up.
