News: LaBeouf In Talks To Take Over Sheen’s Greedy Role

I think Shia LeBeouf would be a really good choice for the second Wall Street movie.

Shia LaBeouf is in talks to take over Charlie Sheen‘s role as a desperate young stockbroker in the forthcoming sequel to 1987 film Wall Street.

LaBeouf is negotiating with bosses at 20th Century Fox to join Michael Douglas, who’s been recast by director Oliver Stone for Wall Street 2, a follow-up to the Oscar-winning drama, reports Variety.

Sheen starred as Bud Fox in the original, about a young broker struggling to get to the top while surrounded by greed and corruption.

The original film’s stars received mixed reviews. Douglas won an Oscar for Best Actor for his role as ruthless Wall Street player Gordon Gekko while Daryl Hannah‘s performance earned her a Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actress.

News: Douglas Back To The Bank For Wall Street 2

I think this is fantastic news 🙂 I love Michael !!!

Michael Douglas is heading back to Wall Street – he will return to the big screen as evil moneyman Gordon Gekko.

Rumours of a sequel to the hit 1987 movie have mounted since the collapse of the modern global banking system – with film fans suggesting it is the perfect time for Douglas to reprise his Oscar-winning role as the ruthless banking boss.

And the actor has listened to cinemagoers’ demands – agreeing to team up with director Oliver Stone again to shoot Wall Street 2.

20th Century Fox will begin filming in the summer.

A spokesman for the studio says, “We need to keep the story line under wraps, but it’s literally ripped from today’s headlines. It’s going to be very big and very cool.”

And Douglas can’t wait to get back into his red braces, recently saying: “Gordon Gekko is a great, old-fashioned villain. And, interestingly enough, if you look at most actors’ careers, their biggest achievement, not necessarily success… is playing a bad guy.”

Roberts’ Rude Tribute To Pal Hanks

Only Jules could get away with saying something like this !!!

Julia Roberts paid a bizarre X-rated tribute to acting pal Tom Hanks at a New York gala in his honour on Monday night.

Hanks was the guest of honour at the Film Society of Lincoln Center Gala Tribute, attended by a star-studded audience of friends and former colleagues.

After entertainment, including a performance by Bruce Springsteen and his wife Patti Scialfa, Roberts, who appeared alongside Hanks in 2007 movie Charlie Wilson’s War, stepped onstage to toast her pal with a hilarious, foul-mouthed rant.

After starting with the line, “Ok, it’s late and I’m paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee,” the Pretty Woman star noted, “Everybody f**king likes you”, and then complimented Hanks’ wife Rita Wilson‘s breasts, figure and perfect butt before giving a critique of some of the star’s less acclaimed movies.

She joked, “Tom Hanks, what the f**k? Bosom buddies, people… (I’m a) big fan, big fan. I saw Turner and Hooch, The Money Pit… You in the airport with the accent (The Terminal) – it was a pass for me.”

She then added, “I’m wearing the same f**king dress, tonight, as your publicist!”

But Roberts ended on a sincere note, telling Hanks and the audience, “I love you. You do something that two other people on the planet do… Tom can walk into any room and make you feel like you’re in your living room, make you feel comfortable… make you feel like there’s a reason you’re on the planet. That’s a true gift. That’s not acting… it’s heart and compassion.”

Spacey Visits Abramoff Behind Bars

I think this is really interesting to see what different actors do to prepare for a role. Plus I love Kevin Spacey a lot !!!

Actor Kevin Spacey visited a federal prison in Maryland on Monday to meet with disgraced Washington, D.C. lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

The two-time Oscar winner is preparing to play Abramoff in a new movie.

Con man Abramoff is serving time behind bars for his part in an influence-peddling scandal in the heart of American politics.

The 50-year-old businessman is scheduled to be released at the end of 2011.

He pleaded guilty to three criminal felony counts in a Washington, D.C., federal court in January, 2006.

Abramoff was charged in the defrauding of American Indian tribes and corruption of public officials.

Rourke Broke His Hand Wrestling Jericho

Awwww poor Mickey !!!

Mickey Rourke‘s wrestling match with Chris Jericho was no easy victory – the actor walked out of the ring with a broken hand.

Rourke went head-to-head with the professional grappler earlier this month at the WWE’s Wrestlemania 25 in Houston, Texas, following a bitter and public war of words with Jericho.

The star, who won a string of awards for his performance in The Wrestler, stunned fans after standing up from his seat in the crowd to clamber over the guard ropes and deliver a punch that left Jericho reeling.

But although Rourke admits he played up the smackdown for the cameras, he was left with a fracture in his hand.

He tells the New York Daily News, “I’m all healed up now. I kept my hand open when I punched so I wouldn’t hurt him.”

And Rourke insists he and his fellow tough man have resolved their dispute off-camera: “Chris and I went out for drinks after. We’re all good now.”
