Javier Bardem the villain in Wall Street 2
Martin Anderson
…and Gekko as Yoda? Actually we're thinking more 'Lecter'….
Published on Jun 3, 2009
Javier Bardem provided cinema with one of its most memorable villains in 2007's No Country For Old Men and we reckon he'll be doing the same now that - apparently - he is going to be providing a similar service for Oliver Stone's Wall Street sequel.
The newly-revealed plot set-up finds Shia LaBeouf putting Michael Douglas's Gordon Gekko character in the role of, well, Yoda or Mr. Miyagi, in as much as LaBeouf needs a bit of help bringing down the hedge-fund manager whose dirty dealings made his mentor kill himself.
Gekko is freshly released from prison in Wall Street 2, but nonetheless there's a certain Hannibal Lecter-ness about all this that makes me more interested in Wall Street 2 than I was...
