When he’s not searching for crystal skulls, running from large robots or flipping his own vehicle, Shia LaBeouf can clean up quite nicely.

In Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, Shia’s character (Jacob Moore) is a Wall Street trader engaged to Winnie Gekko (Carey Mulligan), the estranged daughter of Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas). Jacob finds himself helping the recently-jailed Gekko repair his family situation in exchange for help with a hedge fund manager (Josh Brolin).

The film - also starring Frank Langella and Susan Sarandon - opens April 23.

Ryan Reynolds Embraces His Inner Woman

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Romance, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News, Scripts, Upcoming Releases

In an effort to expand his acting range, Ryan Reynolds will dress as a woman in his next movie.

The X-Men Origins: Wolverine actor is set to take on the lead role in an as-yet untitled movie which will see his character disguise himself in drag in order to befriend his ex-girlfriend in a bid to win her back.

Ryan, who will next shoot superhero movie The Green Lantern, will also serve as executive producer on the project, which does not yet have a director.

The script is being penned by Wall Street 2 writer Allan Loeb. No further casting information has been given.

In addition to the cross-dressing caper, it was recently reported that Ryan is set to take over from Tom Cruise in Motorcade after the Mission Impossible star dropped out of the project to appear in Wichita. The action thriller sees the actor playing a disgraced Secret Service agent who happens to be in the wrong place at the right time when the US president is kidnapped in New York.
