News: Douglas Mulls Wall Street Sequel

I am a big fan of Michael, so to see him reprise the role in which won him an Oscar I think would be fantastic !!!

Michael Douglas is considering a multi-million dollar offer to reprise his role as wicked money man Gordon Gekko in a Wall Street sequel.

Twenty-two years after Douglas’ Oscar-winning performance in the first film, studio bosses are trying to convince him to slip back into a pin-striped suit and head back to New York’s financial district.

According to the National Enquirer, Charlie Sheen – who starred as Bud Fox in the original – has already been ruled out of the sequel.
