And One. Mobile. Phone.

I'm still dubious that Wall Street II: Money Never Sleeps is going to be able to meet the high bar set by its predecessor, but this rather clever preview does give me hope. It seems like it's not going to take itself too seriously, from the shot of the mobile phone (I REMEMBER that phone!) to Gordon Gekko getting outclassed by a random drug lord.

I also like the ominous driving music in the background. The wonders of Google quickly told me it's a song called Ricochet, by Shiny Toy Guns, whom I know nothing about since I ain't no club kid no mo'. It works better without lyrics in the preview, but the opening line's pretty appropriate for the movie, too: "Welcome back to where I'm gonna have you..."
