A Second Poster for 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps'
And just who deserves screenwriting credit?
Fox has just released a second poster for the upcoming sequel Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps on the heels of yesterday's debut of the teaser trailer, which seems to have received one of two reactions: "good" and "bad". I haven't watched the trailer myself, but I found it interesting when someone described it to me and told me the part when Gekko (Michael Douglas) is getting out of jail is exactly the same as what original Wall Street screenwriter described to me when I interviewed him for W., yet Weiser isn't receiving a screenplay credit to my knowledge, just a "Based on Characters" credit with Allan Loeb receiving full screenplay credit.
Here's the description Weiser gave me, which you can compare to the trailer to the right:
Gekko gets out of jail. It actually opened with Gekko getting out of jail and he's standing by a curb and a limo pulls up and he's next to a black kid, who's a prisoner, and the black kid gets in the limo. The black kid is a rapper and the limo is for the rapper. So he is left standing there on the street alone and no one knows who he is anymore.
Weiser told me they were "starting with a page-one rewrite" because what he had written was no "dated" but it appears not everything was abandoned.
The new poster can be seen directly below or slightly larger in our gallery right here, and yes, that is how it is supposed to look. I guess they are going for a grainy, family portrait look.

I wonder what it will be rated by the MPAA?
Oliver Stone wouldnt rate this PG or PG-13 at least i hope not this betta be rated R thats all i kno…The tease looks pretty good though Mike Douglas is coming back
I'd suspect that Oliver Stone did writing too, since he always does whether he takes credit or not. Weiser said of W. that Stone wrote the situation room scene himself.
I sure hope it'll be rated R. But Stone's last two pictures have been PG-13.
@dn: I doubt the ratings of his last two films will play into how this is rated. The first Wall Street is R, it's only right for this one to be as well. That's how it should happen, but who knows the thought process in Hollywood.
This will be a great film for Shia LaBeouf, I'm really looking forward to it. I've begun to worry about Oliver Stone; lately he's seemed to have lost his edge. Let's face it, Alexander was God-awful and W. wasn't exactly a masterpiece. Hopefully this film will put him back on top.
