Wall Street 2 Trailer

Is greed still good? Oliver Stone's Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps has Gordon Gecko coming out of jail, and I had to laugh out loud when the guard hands him the brick size mobile phone. Carey Mulligan (of An Education) plays Gecko's daughter, and Shia LeBeouf is her fiance. Josh Brolin also stars, and Charlie Sheen has a cameo. Looks interesting!

Michael Douglas as Liberace???

Okaaaay. Variety reports:

Steven Soderbergh is in the early stages of developing a biopic about Liberace for Warner Bros., which he will direct.

The filmmaker said he has drafted his "Traffic" star Michael Douglas to play the flamboyant pianist.

Richard LaGravanese (P.S. I Love You, The Bridges of Madison County) is writing the script, and Jerry Weintraub will produce.

Soderbergh is in discussions with Matt Damon to play Scott Thorson, who sued Liberace in 1982 for $113 million in palimony, claiming he was the entertainer’s companion for five years. Even though Liberace never wavered from career-long denials that he was gay, Thorson reportedly settled for $95,000 in 1986.

Um, not the news I was expecting in my inbox from Variety this morning. I'll reserve judgment, but it's a little difficult to picture at the moment.
