It seems, against our (and your) better wishes, Shia LaBeouf has been cast in Wall Street 2 (as has Javier Bardem, and, obviously, Michael Douglas). The only part left up for grabs is that of Gordon Gekko’s daughter, and LaBeouf’s love interest, so if you’ve got any ideas, please share at this time. Here’s a bit about the plot, courtesy of Nikke Finke. Read it and see if you can figure out who the “stock-shorting worldwide hedge fund manager” is based on, while we bitch and moan about this a little while longer to ourselves:
Michael Douglas, as everyone already knows, reprises his Best Actor Oscar-winning role as Gordon Gekko. But what hasn’t been reported is that, as the movie begins, it’s 21 years later and Mr. Greed Is Good has finished serving his prison sentence. He finds himself on the fringe of the financial community. (“Kinda like Jim Cramer or Mike Milken after their disgrace,” an insider with the pic tells me.) Gekko is cautioning Wall Street that the “end is coming” — but nobody is listening. So Gordon is obsessed with trying to repair his ruptured relationship with his daughter. That juicy actress role isn’t cast yet. (But I’d love it if Oliver had the balls to bring back Sean Young as Mom in spite of their notorious falling out during the filming of the original.)
Enter Shia LaBeouf, who was reported in negotiations and I can now state is set to co-star. (I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: one day every Hollywood movie will star this guy who turns 23 on June 11th.) Shia is a young Wall Street trader who’s engaged to be married to Gekko’s estranged daughter. Shia wants to be a major player, but his mentor unexpectedly kills himself, and Shia thinks a stock-shorting worldwide hedge fund manager is responsible. Shia seeks revenge on this villain, to be played by No Country For Old Men Supporting Actor Oscar-winner Javier Bardem. So Shia goes to Gordon saying, “I need your help”, and makes a Faustian deal with Gekko who in return wants Shia’s help getting back with the daughter. From then on, it’s “antagonism” for everyone, my insider says.

uuughhh….
No hot starlet can save this movie now.
a “stock-shorting worldwide hedge fund manager”
Oooh, one couldn’t think of a more insidious modern villian.
I hear your ticket comes with a pillow and an apology from the producer.
This movie makes we wonder why they never made a Poison Ivy 4 or or “Passion of the Christ 2, he’s back and he’s pissed”

I take it Catherine Zeta-Jones is gotta be in the lead for Douglas’ daughter? I mean, she is a believable age to be his daughter?
Would it be wrong to bang your daughter if played by Megan Fox?
Whatever happened to GG’s son? Didn’t get into that good pre-school so he’s still waddling around the pool throwing cake at the guests?
why is everyone so quick to criticize every element of this movie before it even comes out? If you had read a plot summary of the first one and that Charlie Sheen was going to be cast as a hot-shot broker who orchestrates a stock pump and dump scheme all on his own to get back at GG for betraying his father, I’m sure you’d all be bashing that too.
Two hot starlets can save this movie now

Wait…Shia LaBeouf wasn’t cast as the daughter? WTF?
rudy batooty how’s my cutie? taking French lessons Shia?
9 & 11…HAHAHA..
Dear God…Shia LeBeouf…please, don’t. The original is every guy’s fantasy, don’t cast Shia LeBeouf and ruin the sequal.
@15… I’m going to take your milk money, then beat you up during recess.
megan fox can save this movie
This is a job that only Keanu Reeves can handle.
Word is that Sean Young will not reprise her role as Gekko’s wife in the sequel. Instead that role will be filled by Susan Boyle.
@23…True dat…
@15
Oliver Stones movies really aren’t that good, have you see what he has done since Wall Street (ie the last 22 years)? It has been an enormous pile of crap. Not to mention, most movies are a Ten Dollar crap sandwich. And did you see the latest Indiana Jones? Doesn’t help LeBeouf’s prospects for being made fun of.
If we get a Stevie Cohen cameo, THEN thoughts might change– and that is Change We Can Believe In.
@22 = small dick
If you don’t like one of these, then please let me know:
1) One of the Noel daughters
2) Tori (Victoria) Thain
This is gayer than Hank Greenburg…and that’s GAY!
@15 because lebouf is simply terrible and the father/daughter love story sounds about as interesting as a greg michaels post
javier bardem could be fun, but the whole short-selling / mentor suicide thing doesn’t hold much promise
Shana Madoff as Gekko’s daughter
I wish LaBeouf would get his LeBallsac out of my face.

I think Shia LaBeouf is a wonderful choice!!!
Hugs & kisses,

@32 Greg Michaels burn alert!
Since you can’t fuck the movie up any more than it already is… Tilda Swindon for the daughter.
Gianna Michaels as Maria Bartiromo.
Are Miley Cyrus and Lindsay still available?
Kim Kardashian as Maria Bartiromo…
Sasha Grey can save this movie
Doogie Howser as Timothy Geithner
Word on the street is that Bess Levin is in talks with Stone to play to the part of the Gekko’s sultry daughter.
@40 FTW
Also Shia sucks, this plot sounds like a borefest of the highest order. Perhaps its Stone’s revenge for quasi-inadvertently making Wall Street so sexy with the original, he’s now going to emasculate all of us with the 2nd…
@42, thats actually a good choice. Geithner looks like he’s smoked pole a few times in his life.
“It was Alpha, Alpha was their treasure!”
@29 Actually, I’m hung like a horse…suck it.
This movie sounds like whitesploitation to me!
My picks:
Shoshana Lonstein or Sasha Grey
or
any black female over 400bills

Michael Cera as Gordon’s daughter
Shia, huh? Clearly Greg Louganis was unavailable. This movie will bomb.
@51 a true devotee. +1
Susan Boyle can play the hot daughter and Shia will still be punching above his weight.
I have heard whispers from a reliable source that Samuel L Jackson will be playing the role of Warren Buffett in this upcoming masterpiece.
Excerpted dialogue as follows:
L. Blankfein – “Mr Buffett, would you be interested in taking an equity stake in GS?”
Buffett – “Excuse me, mothafucka. What shit did yo bitch-ass just come at me wit?”
B. Trott – “Uh, Mr Buffett, he was actually saying a 10% preferred, not common…”
Buffett – “and……?”
B. Trott – “And warrants too, Mr Buffett!!”
Buffett- “Check out the big brain on Trott. That’s right, bitches, and warrants, you punk ass biyatches. Yo better hook me up with some off-the-chain warrants. Blankfein, you punk ass bitch!!”
