Diandra’s lawyer, Nancy Chemtob, said the divorce agreement contained a clause that said her client is entitled to money from any “spinoffs” of Douglas’ movies, and that includes “Wall Street 2.”

Why would he agree to that? Wish he divorced me instead, I could happily live off of $45 million. ;o)

If Mike was fool enough to sign off on such an open-ended "settlement", he deserves to get soaked.

If the divorce agreement said that, then she does indeed have an argument. Douglas also ought to sue his lawyer if he let that clause in. I don’t think a new movie, even one based on an existing character, is the same as generating money from a marital asset. It opens up a HUGE can of worms that decades later, she can claim part ownership of a character that he doesn’t even own, he just plays.
