New Movie Rumor: Carey Mulligan cast in “Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps”?

According to Latino Review, British actress Carey Mulligan, best known to American audiences for her role (as Kitty Bennet) in Pride & Prejudice, is joining the cast of Wall Street 2, now just known as Money Never Sleeps (to be directed by Oliver Stone), the sequel to Oliver Stone's critically acclaimed Wall Street, as Michael Douglas' character Gordon Gekko's daughter Winnie Gekko.

If true and confirmed that Carey, is indeed in this movie as Winnie Gekko, she'll have a big role in this film and will get to co-star with another big stars such as Michael Douglas and Shia Labeouf.

Here's more info. of her character in ...

Money Never Sleeps (2010)


Winnie Geckko plays a major part in the story as she is the fiancee of Jacob (Shia LaBeouf's character). Winnie hasn't spoken to her father Gordon in 11 years while he was away in prison. Winnie and Gordon's relationship is estranged since she blames her father for the suicide of her brother Rudy.

Taking place 21 years after the events in WALL STREET and set in the world of hedge fund managers around election time, Gordon Geckko agrees to help Jacob get his revenge against a hedge fund manager as long as Jacob helps restore and mend Gordon's relationship with Winnie. Winnie works for a senator in Washington, DC.



Sounds interesting! I hope this is true. What do you all think of Carey Mulligan being cast (if true) in this film?

Brothers Trailer now online!

The trailer is now online for Brothers, one of Carey Mulligan's 4 movies releases this year (2009).

According to Carey herself (in one of her recent interviews), she has a small role in this film. Her character's name is Cassie Willis. That's all I know about her role in this film. In the trailer (watch it below), I thought I spotted a glimpse of her in wearing a sweater in the trailer (if I'm not mistaken, since it was quick and you hardly see the face of the girl smilingl behind Jake G., which I'm guessing, she's Carey, lol), in the party scene with Natalie Portman and Jake Gyleenhaal. I made a quick screen cap of it here, so you'll see what I'm talking about (click the image to your right to enlarge --->). Now, don't take my word for it, as I'm not sure that girl is Carey (even though the girl looks like her, but she could be someone else. Who knows?)...that's why I wrote a ? mark on the screen cap, lol.

Speaking of the trailer...

Also, see some "Brothers" stills here. Unfortunately, since Carey has as a small role here (much like in Public Enemies), there's no promo still released or available of her in this film. Guess, you'll just have to see the movie to spot her.

Pride & Prejudice film is one of TV Guide's Best Big-Screen Proposals

The 2005 Pride & Prejudice movie recently made the Top 5 list of TV Guide's Best Big Screen Proposals with the first Darcy proposal scene.

What do you think? Which of Darcy's 2 proposals to Elizabeth did you prefer or thought was the best?

Hmm, while I love the first proposal scene in the pouring rain (who doesn't? lol), but I think (in my opinion, anyway), the 2nd proposal scene towards the end with Mr. Darcy walking in the mist and properly proposing to Lizzie was the best. I thought it was romantic and sexy. Not too mention, she was touched and speechless by his romantic dialogue (who would say "no" to him saying "you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love and love and love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on." ? Most definitely not I)...and of course, she finally accepted his proposal.


Anyway, here's what they said about P&P movie with the YT video clip of The first Proposal scene as Mr. Darcy proposes to Elizabeth Bennet in the pouring rain...

Pride & Prejudice
The Proposal:
In the pouring rain, Matthew Macfadyen's Mr. Darcy tries to convince Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) he's a changed man, worthy of her love.
What You Said:
"Yes, it wasn't the most romantic dialogue, but damn, how can any woman say no to Matthew's bluer-than-blue eyes???" — sue
