Douglas, Stone head back to 'Wall Street'

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Douglas and Oliver Stone are going to show us the money again with a sequel to their 1987 hit "Wall Street."

According to 20th Century Fox spokesman Gregg Brilliant, Douglas is reprising his role as Gordon Gekko and Stone is on board again to direct the as-yet-untitled sequel.

Brilliant notes that it's a timely project given what's happening in the world.

With the economy and financial markets in a tailspin, it will be different times for Douglas' Gekko. In the original film, corporate raider Gekko was a symbol of Wall Street greed and corruption during the boom era of the 1980s.
