New Images From Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps

“In my father’s world, making a million was a ton,” Oliver Stone explains to USA Today in a new article on the film. “I come back to Wall Street now, and it’s not a million dollars. It’s a billion dollars. And a billion is nothing. They don’t even consider that the beginning of a hedge fund. That is what is amazing about the ’90s and 2000s — how rich people got.” Stone, who originally passed on the script for Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, did eventually return for the sequel. “I guess the crash, which happened in the meantime, made it more interesting,” Stone says about its relevance to today.

Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps will arrive in theaters April 23, 2010. Here are some new images from the film.
