Susan Sarandon to join ‘Wall Street 2′
Sarandon gears up for another MILF role
Academy Award-winning actress Susan Sarandon will reportedly join the growing cast of Oliver Stone’s Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps. Sarandon is in talks to play the mother to Shia LaBeouf’s character.
More and more, it seems like Wall Street 2 is looking like a do-over of its predecessor, the 1987 classic Wall Street. We have the return of Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), the nefarious and monetary-driven trader who, again, takes up a young apprentice (this time played by Shia LaBeouf). While details are largely under wraps, it’s looking more like a redux than a proper sequel, with one exception: Big Frank Langella. What role will the Frost/Nixon star bring to the film? Besides The Cool? Will he play a rival to GG? A bigger shark swimming in the ocean of dead presidents? Friends, THAT is what is exciting about this film.
It’s too bad about Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men), who couldn’t commit to the film due to scheduling conflicts.
Production begins next month in New York with a release in 2010.
