&lt;p&gt;Tomorrow afternoon, Oliver Stone&#39;s long-awaited sequel to Wall Street, his 1987 send-up of Reagan-era greed that inspired a generation of investment bankers and traders and starred Michael Douglas as Gordon &quot;Greed is Good&quot; Gekko, will be released in theaters nationwide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Douglas revisits his Academy Award-winning role of Gekko, taking on the almighty greedy one as he&#39;s released from prison and a young wannabe Wall Street tycoon, played by Shia LaBeouf, announces to Gekko that he plans to marry the greedy one&#39;s beautiful daughter, played by Carrie Mulligan. In a twist of sorts, or in a (fulfiiled) desire that Douglas would reprise the role of Gekko, in &lt;em&gt;Money Never Sleeps&lt;/em&gt;, Stone has given Gekko a new character trait: a heart (or, at least, a third of a left ventricle). (Earlier this week, Stone spoke about his new film in an interview with Bloomberg.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whether the fleshing out of Gekko works or doesn&#39;t, is believable or not, remains to be seen (here I will admit that, despite the probabilty that the film isn&#39;t half of what its predecessor turns out to be, I am very much looking forward to seeing it, if only due to the allure of its trailer, which ingeniously utlilizes The Rolling Stone&#39;s &quot;Sympathy for the Devil&quot;). What we do know now, though, is that America is salivating over this film (&lt;em&gt;if at first you succeed, do it again and as often as the funding allows for it&lt;/em&gt; has unfortunately become the motto across Hollywood in the past decade), saliva which has sent a few Hollywood studio execs plowing through their financial film libraries, digging up old winners, putting a new spin on them, in hopes that American moviegoers will be as hungry for their other sequels as they are for &lt;em&gt;Money Never Sleeps&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We at In the Black have been able to get our hands on a few of these in-the-works finance films, and below is (trust us) the only one that sounds like it has the possibility of getting the green light:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trading Places Deux: Cornering the Corn Market&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the sequel to John Landis&#39;s 1983 well-received buddy comedy, Trading Places, &lt;em&gt;SNL&lt;/em&gt; alums Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy reprise their roles as commodity trader extraordinaire Louis Winthorpe III and street hustler-turned-commodity trader extraordinaire Billy Ray Valentine, respectively. We pick up the action on an island in the tropics three decades after the two raked in millions due to well-played trades in the frozen orange juice market, the two growing tired of Ophelia, the hooker with a heart of gold, serving them fruit-infused cocktails swimming with dark rum (WINTHORPE: Looking good, Billy Ray! VALENTINE: Feeling a bit bored, Louis.). We follow Winthorpe and Valentine through their decision to charter a vegetable oil-fueled jet to the Windy City in hopes of cornering the maize future market, a coup they ultimately accomplish after overcoming 60 minutes of arrogant, young, stuffy, blue-and-gray-pin-stripe-suited adversity, before sharing a significant portion of their new wealth with the public school system of their hometown, Chicago.&lt;/p&gt;
