’Wall Street’ Sequel Inspired by 2008 Market Crash

Oliver Stone blasted capitalism and the banking world as he presented the sequel to his 1987 blockbuster “Wall Street” at the Cannes Film Festival today, appearing with Michael Douglas and the rest of the cast at a news conference.

“It seems that we got drunk,” Stone said, referring to the boom and bust in global markets, just as his “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” had its world premiere. “I thought the system will correct itself, but it didn’t. It got worse.”
