Must Watch Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps Trailer

The day after the State of the Union Address, where we as Americans look at the state of our country and our future, something that has always been on our minds is the economy, will it turnaround how will it do so? Main Street and Wall Street, almost two sides to the same coin each affecting how we live and grow. In the 80s/90s it was all about Wall Street, the allure of money making and buying and selling large amounts of stock, trading and all of those things, nothing has changed today. Sure there are more regulations but as Gordon Gekko once said Greed is Good and that was what most people took to heart and still do. In the interest of exploring once again the realm of Wall Street and the financial markets in this day and age, Olive Stone has brought us the highly anticipated sequel to the screen to show that money in fact never sleeps. Below is the long awaited teaser trailer.

Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, which is set to hit theaters on April 23. The film stars Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf, Frank Langella, Carey Mulligan, Vanessa Ferlito, Charlie Sheen and Josh Brolin.

The film is set 23 years after the first film, in June 2008 and Gordon Gekko has just been released from prison. Despite his initial attempts to warn Wall Street of the forthcoming economic downturn and stock market crash, no one believes him due to his reduced standing in the financial world.

Gekko decides to re-focus his attention on rebuilding his relationship with his estranged daughter, Winnie. Due to their time apart, and the fact that Winnie blames Gekko for her brother Rudy’s suicide, she avoids any contact with him. At the same time, the mentor of young Wall Street trader Jacob unexpectedly dies, and Jacob suspects his hedge fund manager of being involved in the death. Jacob, who is Winnie’s fiance, seeks revenge and agrees to Gekko’s offer of help, in return for which Jacob agrees to help Gekko with Winnie.

I really like this trailer as it is fast paced but really capture some humor and fun of bringing Gekko back. Also the poster is really awesome too as it looks a lot like the original films one.
