With an all-star cast led by Blake Lively, Aaron Johnson, Taylor Kitsch, Benicio del Toro, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Emile Hirsch, and Salma Hayek, Oliver Stone’s Savages is pretty much guaranteed to be awesome.
Last week saw the release of the first batch of interrogation videos introducing us to some of the main players – Lively, Johnson, Kitsch, del Toro, and Hayek – and each week we’ll be getting a new set of videos in the same vein.
Alongside the second round of interviews, we’ve also got a new featurette, courtesy of Apple; six new clips, via JoBlo; as well as a great new batch of images, via IMDb.
“Three-time Oscar(R)-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone returns to the screen with the ferocious thriller Savages, featuring the all-star ensemble cast of Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively, Aaron Johnson, John Travolta, Benicio Del Toro, Salma Hayek, Emile Hirsch and Demian Bichir. The film is based on Don Winslow’s best-selling crime novel that was named one of The New York Times’ Top 10 Books of 2010. Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben (Johnson), a peaceful and charitable marijuana producer, and his closest friend Chon (Kitsch), a former Navy SEAL and ex-mercenary, run a lucrative, homegrown industry–raising some of the best weed ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty Ophelia (Lively). Life is idyllic in their Southern California town… until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them.”
The film is based on the novel by Don Winslow, best-selling crime novelist, and has been adapted for the screen by Stone, Shane Salerno, and Winslow himself.
Savages will be released in the US on 6th July, before heading to the UK a little later on 28th September. All signs point to awesomeness, so prepare accordingly. For now, a taste of what to expect. And as usual with the images, you can click to enlarge.
