Wall Street sequel delayed

'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' has had its release date pushed back until September.

The sequel to the 1987 Michael Douglas movie was scheduled to hit cinemas on April 23, but according to Variety, studio 20th Century Fox decided the film was better suited to an autumn release.

Michael reprises his role as Gordon Gekko in the movie, while British Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan and Shia LaBeouf also star.

Troubled actor Charlie Sheen also performs in the movie as Bud Fox.

The Oliver Stone-directed film takes place 23 years after the original and shows Gekko attempting to warn Wall Street about the collapse of the financial system.

Recently 65-year-old Michael claimed the timing of the movie was good because of the recent economic crisis.

He said: "There was a recession when the first movie arrived in 1987. There's a recession now.

"Greed, which Gekko declared as being good, hasn't just survived but has thrived amid easy credit, sub-prime mortgages and an America that ignored the signs of an oncoming market collapse.

"We brought Oliver Stone a script. Stone, the son of a stockbroker, wanted to do it."
