According to Variety, Oscar-nominated actor Frank Langella has come on board to Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps”, a film whose existence is justified because we’re currently in the midst of an economic crisis although it would seem like the original would just have a stronger resonance.
Shia LeBeouf and Michael Douglas are on board to star (with possibly Josh Brolin and Carey Mulligan in talks to join). Langella would play Lewis Zabel, an old broker and mentor of Shia LaBeouf’s character. Variety says, “The mentor’s fate plays a major part in the film’s plot.” My translation: “He dies.”
