Hours shadowing BSD’s on the trading floor. Months riding the highs and crashing the lows of having an online brokerage account. Countless meetings with Goldman Sachs executives. It’s all come together. For this moment.
Wall Street 2
So I was getting a haircut after lunch today (York Barbershop, 71st and Lex), and Oliver Stone & co. walked in to inspect the place. According to my barber, they’re shooting MNS there, presumably all day, on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. However, I overheard murmurs that it might be too cramped, in which case the Waldorf barbershop would be a contender. No word on how this affects Shia’s helmet hair.
What? O-Stones can’t help it if he has fans all over the Street. A show of hands please: for those of you working at “a major hedge fund or a boiler room” (or both), do you count the man responsible for unleashing this CFA candidate on the world as a hero?
Oliver Stone, on the other hand, has been receiving a decidedly different reception [than the Gordon Gekko character] while researching the film around town. “When Oliver has walked into a major hedge fund or boiler room, they break out in applause,” Pressman said. “He’s a hero to them. Wall Street is going to love the new film even more.”

Limited Time Left To Break Up Negotiations Between Shia LaBeouf And Wall Street 2 Producers
By Equity Private‘Cause this thing is being slapped together ASAP, people. Oliver Stone was in the Power Merchant Group’s office at 40 Wall Street Friday for about just under an hour, scouting locations for the sequel, tentatively scheduled to start shooting this summer. (In related news, PMG is the employer of Oyster Boy, meaning there’s a chance we’ll get that shellfish eating contest plotline yet!)
Update: The clock is ticking faster than we thought. O-stones was spotted on the floor of the NYSE today, presumably searching for money shots.
