Pete's Preview Sep 24 by Peter Veugelaers © 2010
You don't easily forget Michael Douglas as the consummate, charismatic and greedy Gordon Gekko from his Oscar winning performance in Wall Street. In that film, Charlie Sheen's hot shot broker character studied under the wing of Gekko how to succeed without a conscience in the finance world. Over 20 years later, in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Gekko's released from prison and it seems prison has been good to him. A young hot shot trader (Shia LaBeouf), who is married to Gekko's daughter (Carey Mulligan), sides with him to warn of the coming global economic collapse indicating a change of allegiance from consumed by money to actually caring. That might take the edge out of the Gekko we've seen in Wall Street, although money never sleeps.
