The whispers are just starting to piss me off now. Is there a sequel to Wall Street, or not? And is it called Money Never Sleeps, or not? QUIT TEASING ME ALREADY. JUST GIVE ME THE GODDAMN SEQUEL, BITCH.
Banking sites are running wild with speculation about this movie, and I have my own ideas:
Financial vehicle/mode of global domination:
Hedge fund
Mode of communication:
Blackberry, obviously.
Bullshit shorthand move to let us know how much time has passed:
Sweeping view of lower Manhattan with no World Trade Center.
Gratuitous mentions:
Emperors Club
Moody’s
CDS-related insider trading
Enron
Tyco
WorldCom
Home after prison:
Immense loft. Some things never change.
Bad Guys:
They’ll go global on this one. Chinese might be too on the nose, so I say Russians.
Odds that a character will be based on either Jeff Skilling or Andy Fastow:
2-1
Odds that Gordon Gekko will abandon the “greed is good” mantra
12-1
Odds that they’ll show real news footage of Jeff Skilling being arrested:
2-1
Bad guys – how about the Fed?
Ooh, good call. : )
I was being a bit a coy – it would never be the Fed – I doubt the film would really address the roots of corruption. Where are you on abolishing the fed anyway?
