Greed still good for Douglas
You can't keep a good Gekko down, with Michael Douglas signing up for a 'Wall Street' sequel.
May 8 2007
One of the most memorable film characters of the 1980s is to make a return to the big screen, with Michael Douglas set to reprise his Oscar-winning role as Gordon Gekko in a sequel to 'Wall Street'.
Producer Edward Pressman is developing the project at 20th Century Fox with 'Lolita' screenwriter Stephen Schiff currently working on the script.
Little is known about the plot at present, although Douglas says it's unlikely that prison will have softened the ruthless businessman. 'I don't think he's much different,' Douglas told the New York Times. 'He's just had more time to think about what to do'.
Neither director Oliver Stone nor star Charlie Sheen will be returning for the sequel, which will be called 'Money Never Sleeps' after one of Gekko's famous maxims.
