Oliver Stone’s Public Service Annoucement | Review: “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps”
As a fan of Oliver Stone’s “America” I was excited when I heard that his sequel to his 1987 original, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps was a return to form. I had missed the man who brought us such films as Platoon and JFK. He’s a director who always tries to push the envelope stylistically, and while he may he may often go overboard (Alexander, which I kinda like…) I still tend to enjoy his work.

Your Poster Is Cool | Never Let Me Go
Mark Romanek’s adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s acclaimed novel Never Let Me Go opens in limited release on September 15th, and judging from the film’s trailer Romanek seems to have crafted a very unique dramatic film. Fox Searchlight has recently released three character posters for the film, and although they are merely the actors faces there is something very haunting and poetic about them. Never Let Me Go stars Carey Mulligan (An Education, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps), Andrew Garfield (The Social Network, Spider-Man Reboot), Keira Knightley (Pride and Prejudice, The Duchess), and is directed by Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo). Continue on to check out the posters for the film, as well as the trailers for Never Let Me Go and Romanek’s underrated directorial debut One Hour Photo.

Ridley and Leo together again.
According to Deadline Leonardo DiCaprio will star in the one time Scorsese vehicle The Wolf of Wall Street. Here’s the how the memior by Jordan Belfort is described on the cover:
Stock Market multimillionaire at 26, federal convict at 36, I partied like a rock star, lived like a king, and barely survived my rise and fall as an American entrepreneurial icon.
Sounds a little too much like Wall Street, not to mention the fact that that films sequel is coming out soon, but Wolf has the advantage of being a true story. The movie is still in the development stage at this point, so don’t expect much movement for the time being.
I only wish the title of this article had been about Scott’s return to Sci-fi, but that’s neither here nor there.
