Waiting for the triumphant return of Gordon Gekko?

Hope you don't mind waiting until September 24th.

When it comes to soccer, perhaps not so much in the US, but the rest of the world sort of stops when it comes on.

Stone is also looking to shorten the running time of the film, so this gives him enough time to do so.

Extra Tidbit: In preparation for his role, Shia LaBeouf worked extensively with traders and researchers on the world of finance and economy. He even invested 20,000 dollars, and ended up making more than 400,000 dollars.
