i asked the director and actor josh brolin if the clie hat has changed.different sets of rules of leverage and i think america woke up to the sense that we're living way beyond our means. we may not realize it yet but we really -- it was a serious heart attack. >> i don't care who is speaking about it, nobody knows. that's the only thing i know for sure. nobody knows. it's all speculation and to me, there's no foundation that we have right now, the uncertainty is massive. >> josh says he doesn't even trade anymore right now. and you can watch my interview with those two for more of that. you know, michael douglas, he hasn't been able to do much press for this movie. obviously, he's undergoing chemo for throat cancer but he did show up at the red carpet premiere for a photo op this week. he was looking a little thinner. kind of tired but he still had that gorgeous head of hair. and i asked his co-stars how he's doing. >> he's keeping his spirits up much he's not hiding. he's not isolating. he's coming out here. he's promoting this movie and i think that sa

we've got josh brolin. he's one of the stars of "wall street." great to have you here. e movie opened. i >> compadid. >> and i want to mention people squealed. >> they what? >> they squealed. they were excited. >> that's good. >> you play a snake in the movie, is that right? >> yeah, i do. i guess i do play kind of a snake. for what happened in september of '08 and the big implosion of the economy and all that and i represent everything bad that's happened. >> and you worked with oliver stone again? >> yes. i did. >> is that wonderful? >> it is, actually. oliver has this reputation that's kind of chaotic. i think he's an amazing guy. we had a great guy. really proud of that movie and i think this movie is going to be great. >> i want to ask you about michael douglas. because you know -- >> when you heard the news what was your reaction? >> i've known michael since i was kid. you know, there was a long history there. i talk to him. i saw him yesterday. he looks great. >> that's wonderful. >> he's a great character. you know. if anybody can survive it. >> he's a fighter, t

you combine that with a cast like shia and josh brolin, michael douglas reprising a role back as gordonjust makes great for a story for everyone to go see. >> if you're saying it's not a documentary, then we don't see what really happened on wall street. a lot of people have had problems with government intervention now and financial reform and government sticking its nose kind of in business. >> big bonuses, correct, yeah. >> if it's not a documentary, does it touch on anything like that, how the market really crumbled? >> what it touched on is the fact that a few of these banks like goldman-sachs, split these derivative products together that almost collapsed the greatest financial system of our time and oliver put a great story behind that. he villianized those who should be villianized like they combined it with a family drama like shia, you know, and gordon's daughter, just an unbelievable story. >> so are you. you're going to resign from your job and go right into acting. why don't you make the announcement right now? look at how natural you are in front of that flat screen workin
