Wall Street 2, Money never sleeps.
April 23, 2010

the character of Gordon Gekko is inspired by Carl Ichan

wikipedia:

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps[1] is an upcoming American drama/thriller[8] film directed by Oliver Stone. The film is a sequel to the 1987 Academy Award-winning film Wall Street, and the first sequel Stone has directed.[9] Michael Douglas will reprise his role as Gordon Gekko in the film. The film will also star Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin, Carey Mulligan,[10] Eli Wallach, Susan Sarandon,[11] Vanessa Ferlito[4] and Frank Langella[12] in supporting roles.[13]

Set in New York City, the film takes place 23 years after the original, revolving around the 2008 stock market crash.[14] The film's plot mainly centers around Gekko acting as more of an antihero rather than a villain and follows his attempts to help Wall Street before its soon-to-be stock market crash as well as trying to repair his relationship with his daughter Winnie with the help of Jacob, Winnie's fiance. In return, Gekko helps Jacob get revenge on the man he blames for his mentor's death.[15]
