Wall Street 2 Teaser: Money for Nothing, LaBeoufs for Free

michaelwallstreet.jpgThe teaser trailer was released today for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (oh, they’re really going with that title?) and you can watch it over on IMDb. What will you find there? An incongruously rockin’ soundtrack, Carey Mulligan, an 80’s cell phone joke, Shia LaBeouf riding a motorcycle (apparently, they’re not just for Megan Fox to lean suggestively over anymore!), and an assumption that the younger generation knows who the hell Gordon Gekko is. That said…it kind of looks like fun trash? If greed is good, then what’s greedily resuscitating a dated, dormant property? I dunno, I’m already programming the Wall Street 2/Basic Instinct 2 double feature.

VERDICT: Interested. [IMDb]

Money never sleeps, but the audience will.

are you sure this isn't the trailer for Monopoly: The Movie?

I wonder if people will be laughing at Cameron Douglas' iPhone 10 years from now.

I'm laughing at it now, because I have the new iPad. It's incredible. It surfs the web, it composes music, it juliennes fries!

iPad still sounds like a "monthly" kind of technology...

I'll take Gekko's jumbo-sized cell phone any day of the week.

Frank Oz should have been the prison storeroom check-out guy.

If they didn't do a huge overhaul of Allen Loeb's script, this could very well be The Phantom Menace of stock market films.

But, who am I kidding? Even a premie looking LaBeouf makes my teeth sweat and redhead Carey's a doll. I'm in there like swimwear.
