A Preview: Money Never Sleeps, And Neither Do Sequels

When I first heard that Oliver Stone was producing/directing another Wall Street film, Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, it first occurred to me: why the fuck, bro?

Actually, let me back up a bit. Back in June, 2009 I read that Javier Bardem was attached to the project and was in final talks to play the villain. Then in July, 2009  it was reported that Bardem had turned down the project in favor of shooting a film adaptation of the best-selling book, Eat, Pray, Love with Julia Roberts. It was later stated that Bardem had turned down the role because if he'd chosen to do both film projects it would have had caused filming and scheduling conflicts and that the actor had had "five or six other offers." I was a little dampened on the previous enthusiasm I had for the project.

True Grit Remake Getting Lensed Next Month, Cones Are Gonna Grab Some Gold Again Son

What's that you say? Bridges, Damon, Brolin, and the Coen bros? All in the same film? It's a remake of the acclaimed western film and John Wayne's Oscar winning performance? Like whoa son...

True Grit, the 1969 original film, is being remade by the Cones (No Country For Old Men, Fargo, A Serious Man) and shooting some time this month in New Mexico. 

It seems that the remake I've heard rumblings about for a little while now has taken shape and really taken off.
