Sometimes, Once Is Enough

Fox, Loeb up for 'Wall Street' sequel

As Wall Street continues to capture headlines due to market volatility, 20th Century Fox is moving forward with a "Wall Street" sequel.

Allan Loeb ("21") has been tapped to pen the screenplay, which is being fast-tracked by the studio as a Michael Douglas starrer, though the actor is not formally attached.

The modern-day story will again center on Gordon Gekko, who has recently been sprung from prison and re-emerges into a much more tumultuous financial world than the one he once lorded over. The Bud Fox character, played by Charlie Sheen in the original, will not appear in the latest incarnation.

My own sequel would be short.

Gekko leaves prison.

Is met by mob.

Mob lynches the bastard, douses his writhing body with gasoline, and sets him on fire.

Revenge is good!
