While speaking to The New York Times about his upcoming sequel to his 1987 film Wall Street sequel, Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, director Oliver Stone confirmed that Charlie Sheen will return to play Bud Fox in the film. Fox, as most of you probably recall, was the young trader in the original film who got his wings singed, as it were, when he got too close to the flame that was Gordon Gekko.

There's word so far on just how Sheen is being worked into this story, but it may be only a brief appearance. He will join a cast that already consists of Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf, Carey Mulligan, Frank Langella, Susan Sarandon and Josh Brolin.

Speaking of the storyline for the sequel, Stone said, "When Gekko (Douglas) comes out of prison in the beginning of this movie, he essentially has to redefine himself, redefine his character ... He's looking for that second chance."

A lot of the action in the film, Stone tells the newspaper, will take place at the Federal Reserve Building.

The stock exchange, whose hectic trading floor was a frequent image in the first film, will be less prominent.

"In the original '87 movie there was no Federal Reserve, we didn’t get into that," Stone told the Times. "But now the world has changed radically. This is part of the bulwark of the system."

Since the '80s, Sheen's career has migrated from film to television. As producer and star of Two and a Half Men, he is presently the highest paid actor on TV, earning $860,000 per episode.
