Art imitating life

What an appropriate time for Oliver Stone to conjure up a sequel to his critically acclaimed and award winning 1987 film Wall Street, with Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. The premise of Stone's sequel is that Gordon Gekko, portrayed by Michael Douglas, is released from federal prison twenty years after the first film, into a new world where deregulation, corruption, repulsive greed and financial abuse is rampant. Gekko however is not the villian, but is the film's protagonist, as he tries to warn Wall Street of the impending stock market and financial collapse.
