Con una intervista a USA TODAY, Oliver Stone ritorna a parlare del sequel del celebratissimo Wall Street.
Money never sleeps, interpretato da Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin, Carey Mulligan, Frank Langella e Susan Sarandon, oltre che da Micheal Douglas e Charlie Sheen, di nuovo nei panni di Gordon Gekko e Bud Fox, debutterà negli Stati Uniti a marzo.
In my father’s world, making a million was a ton,” says Stone, the son of a stockbroker. “I come back to Wall Street now, and it’s not a million dollars. It’s a billion dollars. And a billion is nothing. They don’t even consider that the beginning of a hedge fund. That is what is amazing about the ’90s and 2000s — how rich people got. But it is a weird kind of rich. Maybe a superficial rich.
Stone, figlio di un operatore di borsa, è piuttosto chiaro sul quadro che Money Never Sleeps doveva dipingere:
I guess the crash, which happened in the meantime, made it more interesting. But I didn’t want to do anything to glorify the pigs. Because they were pigs, and we know that.
Michael Douglas è ritornato volentieri nel ruolo che ha cambiato per sempre la sua carriera, nonostante il metodo-Stone:
He always creates a slamdance — it’s in your face. His style is halfway between a docudrama and opera. He threatened me the first time around. I mean that in the best sense. He tests you. He’s a Vitnam veteran. You are either in the trenches with him or you’re not.
Shia LaBeouf si è preparato al ruolo, scoprendo l nuove tecniche di job interviewing:
I talked to a lot of Goldman Sachs people, and one of the requirements of getting a job takes place in the first five minutes of an interview. They take you out to eat. The minute the menu hits the table, if you can’t order within 30 seconds, you don’t have the job.
