Filmmaker Oliver Stone has been signed on to helm the sequel to his 1987 hit film Wall Street starring Michael Douglas [ Images ].

Douglas, who won an Oscar for the original film, is set to reprise his Gordon Gekko's role.

Actor Shia LaBeouf [ Images ] is also in talks to star in the remake titled Wall Street 2, reports Variety.

The sequel will once again involve a young Wall Street trader, and the recent economic meltdown spurred by rampant greed and corruption will fit prominently into the plot.

Allan Loeb will pen the script.

Edward R Pressman is back as producer.
