Unnecessary Sequel of the Month

Most of the time, movie sequels are completely unnecessary and end up being terrible films. But sometimes, Hollywood creates the most unnecessary sequels ever. Case in point: Wall Street 2. Yeah, they actually went there.

But wait, it gets better. Even most of Hollywood has realized this is a horrible idea. Oliver Stone has taken over the project, yes, but the cast? Both Alan Sorkin and Peter Morgan passed in taking the role of Gordon Gekko. Ouch. IMBD news article states that Michael Douglas has come back to play the character, but I'm not sure that this information is confirmed. Shia LaBeouf plays a character similar to Sheen's in the original. As if this wasn't awful enough, guess who gets to write it? Allan Loeb. 21 may have been somewhat enjoyable, but Things We Lost In the Fire? Yeah, this doesn't sound good.
