As for the rest of the cast, Benicio Del Toro stars as a Mexican drug leader who takes issue with the whole operation, Salma Hayek, plays the role of Mexican cartel queen-pin Elena.

Oliver Stone Wants Blake Lively to Play Ophelia in his Drug Cartel Film Savages
Oliver Stone wants Blake Lively to play Ophelia, the kidnapped girlfriend of two beach bums and drug dealers who is held to ransom.
Stone will pen and helm the film based on Don Winslow‘s drug cartel novel Savages, which focus on two Laguna Beach drug dealers forced to work for a Mexican drug cartel after Ophelia, the free-spirited girlfriend they share, is held hostage.
British star Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch are said to be in talks to play the two male leads, with Oscar-winner Benicio del Toro also in discussions about taking on a role.
Saoirse Ronan to Join Joe Wright’s Anna Karenina?
Joe Wright‘s adaptation of Anna Karenina is coming, and I’m sure you’re all interested to find out more details about this project. So are we, and today, we’re here for a little update. Or, maybe, just a rumor, but you must admit that it sounds great.
Apparently, Saoirse Ronan, star of Wright’s upcoming Hanna may be joining the cast that already includes Keira Knightley, Aaron Johnson and Jude Law.
Ok, the director declined to confirm the whole thing at the moment but ThompsonOnHollywood, caught up with Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner (the producers of the project), listed Ronan as a possibility as well.
But let me remind you what Wright recently had to say about lovely Ronan:
“I do believe in Saoirse very much. I think she can do anything she sets her mind to, terrifyingly. I was reading a Russian book recently, and I think it was Gogol who contended that belief is a talent, so the reason why the Russians have such extraordinary faith is that they have a massive talent for belief. Well, perhaps the Irish share that talent as Saoirse certainly has an extraordinary talent for it, plus an incredible imagination.”
Blake Lively and Teresa Palmer In Casting Consideration For Oliver Stone’s Savages
Oliver Stone‘s Savages is coming, but more casting rumors are coming as well! You already know that Jennifer Lawrence is no longer attached to this project because of her The Hunger Games involvement, so as you guess, the biggest question still remains the same – who will play “O” in the upcoming adaptation of the Don Winslow novel?
It looks that we now have three names – Blake Lively, Teresa Palmer and previously reported Olivia Wilde considered for that role!
As we heard, Lively and Palmer have read for the part and join Olivia Wilde as potential candidates to make a turn as “O”, character described as “a free-spirited friend of Laguna Beach pot dealers, Ben and Chon.”
And, while we’re still here, I’m sure you know that Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch are already on board to play “two pot-growers whose shared girlfriend is kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel demanding that they grow exclusively for them.” Benicio Del Toro is in talks to play the role of the leader of the drug cartel and villain of the film, while Salma Hayek is eyeing the role of the matriarch of the cartel.
