Financial crisis comes to Cannes

clipped from news.bbc.co.uk A thriller based around the current financial crisis is being touted as the "next Wall Street" in Cannes. Writer Richard Hains runs a substantial private hedge fund with his brothers Chameleon, based on a novel by hedge fund manager Richard Hains, tells the story of a trader forced to flee New York after a dodgy deal goes wrong. Hains said his film could tell the true story of Wall Street corruption because "the story comes from an insider." "In the latter part of 2007, the storm clouds were gathering, and you could see the indulgences, the excesses, the vast liquidity that was being thrown at the financial markets was creating some early problems," he said. Michael Douglas is set to film a sequel to Wall Street Director Oliver Stone, who made the first movie, has also agreed to work on the sequel, which is yet to secure a release date.
