OT: Gekko Sequel Hits London
Gekko Sequel Hits London

Apparently, the scriptwriter for the sequel to Wall Street (unfortunately, the movie is happening, as lame as that is) has been dispatched to London to prowl around for ideas. So if you happen to see him lost in Mayfair, be sure to buy him a brew and tell him one of your biggest whoppers.
Morning Call: June 21 2007

We hear that the team behind the sequel to the 1987 classic Wall Street, starring Michael Douglas as the corrupt money-man Gekko, has sent new script-writer Stephen Schiff to the UK on a fact-finding mission to pin down the current state of the investment and financial world - and perhaps seek inspiration for new colourful characters to appear in the film.

Could Gekko, played again by Douglas, be reprised as a Mayfair hedge fund manager? Who will cross his path? And in today’s global money markets, where will his escapades take him?

Edward Pressman, who produced the original film and is behind the sequel, has only revealed that the Wall Street follow-up will be dubbed “Money Never Sleeps” after one of Gekko’s guiding principles in the first film.

So what then is on Mr Schiff’s itinerary? We understand that Mr Schiff has flown into London from Dubai to sound out the UK’s financial bigwigs. A middle-eastern plot connection perhaps?
