Frank Langella joins Stone's 'Wall Street 2'

Oscar-nominated actor Frank Langella will join Michael Douglas and Shia LaBeouf in Oliver Stone's upcoming "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps," which 20th Century Fox is currently prepping.

Variety says Langella will play Lewis Zabel, a broker who acts as a mentor to the character LaBeouf will be portraying. The trade says Zabel will play quite an important role in the film.

Douglas, of course, will return to reprise his role as Gordon Gekko from the first flick, which was released in 1987. Also, Josh Brolin has been in talks to play a villain in the sequel. Brolin also worked with Stone on "W."

Langella recently starred in "Frost/Nixon." The "Dracula" actor will soon be seen in Richard Kelly's new mystery thriller "The Box." He's also got "All Good Things" coming up soon.

I don't really adore the idea of this sequel, but with Langella on board and Brolin maybe joining the project as well, it looks like Stone's got quite the cast lined-up. At least there's something to look forward to here.
