Michael Douglas, Martin Sheen and Shia LaBeouf deliver powerful, thrilling drama on "jWall Street" at the box office

Oliver Stone's new film Wall Street 2, is another hit. Great writing, too by Allan Loeb  and Stephen Schiff. Hang on for a white collar corporate roller
coast ride.It's Fatal Attraction to money this time.

The movie trailer features money drama, Shia LaBeouf and much more. 20th Century Fox released their new drama flick “Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps” into theaters earlier today,and the movie trailer (below) features a lot of money drama with Shia LaBeouf and Michael Douglas as the main characters. The movie stars: Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf , Josh Brolin, Frank Langella, Carey Mulligan, Susan Sarandon, Vanessa Ferlito, and yes even Charlie Sheen.

Michael Douglas is definitely in his game as he was in the first Wall Street (1987). 

 

“Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” revolves around character  Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) who gets out of prison, and has to essentially redefine himself and his character. He’s looking for a second chance.

Shia LaBeouf will play the character Jake Moore who is the fiance of Gordon’s daughter. Charlie Sheen who played the central role of Bud Fox who was a young trader in the original movie,will be making a cameo appearance in the new sequel. “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” movie is in theaters now.

Two things you'll notice in the movie: When Douglas gets out of prison he gets his watch and "Mobile Phone" back, what dinosaur, too. And Douglas smokes cigars in the movie, which is the worse thing on your thoat if you fighting throat cancer." As an ex-smoker, I remember how awful cigars were after smoking a cigarette.

Now, I can't stand either one. I stopped in Dec. 1989.

 A- not suited for small children.
