Damn, was really looking forward to this but I guess they wanted a hcance at the Cannes film festival in May:

Wall Street 2's cinema release has been postponed until September 24, it has been announced.

Oliver Stone's highly anticipated sequel, in which Michael Douglas reprises his role as Gordan Gekko, was due for release on April 23.

But Fox has now pushed back the date of the film, co-starring Shia LaBeouf, Carey Mulligan and Josh Brolin, to September 24 to avoid the crowded summer box office months.

Variety speculates that the studio is hoping Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps will be included in the Cannes Film Festival in May, helping to give the film an international profile when it launches.

The sequel to the 1980s classic is set in 2008 and sees Gekko, who has just been released from prison, try to warn Wall Street of the impending financial collapse.

No-one listens to him because he's considered a crook, so Gekko tries to reconcile with his daughter, played by Carey.

He attempts to help his daughter's fiance, a young stock broker (Shia) whose mother has been murdered, exact revenge on the hedge fund manager responsible for the crime

Really looking forward to see this one, the first movie is a classic!

I was looking forward to this as well.  I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I wonder how much of this delay was to avoid competing with other movies as they say (which is a fundamental situation they would have known about to begin with) and how much is because maybe there were too many political jokes or biases that turned out to be less popular than they thought.

You know for as much drama we had in 2007-2010, I'd think Oliver Stone, "mr. consipracy theory" would have been able to come up with a much better plot than that. Heck you could make a really good miniseries about Lehman's collapse alone.

I'm worried this movie is going to be a major let down, Stone seems to have lost his touch lately.
