With all eyes on the world's see-sawing stock markets, Fox is bullish on a sequel to Wall Street.

The new film is titled Money Never Sleeps.

Michael Douglas - who won an Oscar for his role in the 1987 original as corporate raider Gordon Gekko - is interested in reprising the character, but will see how Allan Loeb's script turns out before committing.

The storyline is being kept under wraps.

Ed Pressman, who produced the original, is producing the sequel.

Loeb wrote the Halle Berry movie Things We Lost In The Fire.
