Is Leo also going to star in an Oliver Stone movie?

That seems to be the latest story, though he was involved with the project before Stone came aboard. Here's the story, via Variety:

Oliver Stone is doing some investigating for 20th Century Fox.

Director, who helmed Fox's upcoming "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," is coming aboard to develop and possibly direct "Travis McGee," based on the fictional detective created by American author John D. MacDonald.

Leonardo DiCaprio was already set to star as the scrappy detective, a self-described beach bum who resides on a houseboat in Florida, taking on random cases.

Peter Chernin's Fox-based Chernin Entertainment is attached to produce with Amy Robinson and Appian Way's DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson Killoran.

Film would take its storyline from the first of MacDonald's 21 books, "The Deep Blue Goodbye," which has the detective searching for a World War II treasure. Adapted script was penned by Dana Stevens.

Stone's "Wall Street" sequel is likely to make its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. In light of that opportunity, Fox decided to push back the release of "Wall Street" from April 12 to Sept. 24.

-Thoughts?

Will 'Wall Street 2', 'Tree of Life', and Woody Allen's latest be at Cannes?

Well, this is far from official, but this article in indieWire seems to indicate that these are three of the films that the festival will feature:

It’s not official yet, but it looks pretty sure that Oliver Stone will finally be making his Cannes debut, with the sequel Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, starring Michael Douglas 23 years after his first turn as Gordon Gekko, and Carey Mulligan as his daughter. Shia LaBeouf and W star Josh Brolin also star. It’s long overdue, if you ask me. Oliver Stone is an auteur in my book, even if the Cannes selection hasn’t deemed him one of their elite so far.

Stone has been turned down in the past, with U-Turn and Natural Born Killers. But Twentieth Century Fox is not going for a competition slot. (Universal nailed down the May 12 opener for Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood). The studio pushed back Wall Street from April 23 to September 24. The fest runs through May 23.

Other likely Hollywood entrants are Cannes perennial Woody Allen’s latest, You Will Meet a Tall, Dark Stranger, starring Anthony Hopkins, Brolin, Naomi Watts and Antonio Banderas (a SPC release) and Terrence Malick’s long-in-the-works Tree of Life. Word is that the Brad Pitt-starrer is in fact finished, but that River Road and Apparition chief Bill Pohlad is not putting pressure on Malick to deliver in time for Cannes. If he shows it to them, I’m sure they will be eager to take it.

Wall Street 2 gets bumped...

...from April to September, according to this quick story in The Hollywood Reporter:

Fox is bumping Oliver Stone's Wall Street sequel to the fall.

"Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" will be released on Sept. 24 instead of April 23 as previously planned. Michael Douglas reprises his role from the franchise original, with Shia LaBeouf co-starring in the sequel.

-Is this a sign of confidence or a show of no-faith?
