Greed…Is Good. Wall Street 2 Money Never Sleeps

Posted on February 26, 2010 by KeithNo Comments

If you keep reading this blog you’ll find out that I am a movie junkie.  I more than get my money’s worth on NetFlix and watch 3-4 movies a week if time allows.  Being someone who is trying to become a full time stock trader, it’s obvious I am drawn to the movie Wall Street.  The original from 1987 is a classic and I am willing to best most people saw it.  If you haven’t you really need to check it out!  It tells the story of Bud Fox who becomes a successful stock investor/trader and ends up taking down his mentor who is using insider information.  Anyways, fast forward 23 years and we have Wall Street 2:  Money Never Sleeps!  I’m a little unsure as sequels almost always suck, but I’m pretty excited about this movie.  The movie is set to be out April 23rd.  Check out the trailers!

Trailer #1

A lot of people I have talked to didn’t really like this trailer and thought it made the movie sound really cheesy.  They want to know why Gordon Gecko spent so much time in jail when in real life you get nowhere that amount of jail time.  To them I say … it’s a movie.  The important thing is – is that he went to prison and he’s getting out in a world where Wall Street has completely changed.  I also like that it doesn’t give away too much of the plot, but just a skeleton of what is to come.

Trailer #2

This trailer reveals a lot more of the extended storyline.  It shows us how this new, young stock trader, Shia Lebouf factors into the legendary Gordon Gecko’s life.  It also reveals how Gordon’s greed has affected his family and hints that he hasn’t changed at all!
