Emile Hirsch Goes to Vape Some Herb with Oliver Stone’s Savages
Although Oliver Stone’s film career hasn’t flourished over the last decade, the cast for his ongoing film Savages, based on Don Winslow’s novel, is still impressive: talented Emile Hirsch newly joined golden bunch of actors, including Benecio Del Toro, Salma Hayek, Blake Lively, Taylor Kitsch, Aaron Johnson, John Travolta and Uma Thurman.
There are currently no details on which role he’ll play in a movie that follows two marijuana growers – Ben (Aaron Johnson) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch), forced to work for Mexican cartel, and fight against them after a girlfriend Ophelia (Blake Lively) of theirs was kidnapped and held for ransom. Salma Hayek and Benicio Del Toro are on board as Elena – the Mexican cartel queen who develops feelings of maternal attachment towards Ophelia, and a hatchet man, respectively. John Travolta will perform Dennis, an exhausted DEA agent while Uma Thurman is going to be Blake Lively’s mommy.

And, as you already know from our previous reports, the story will center a pair of marijuana growers (Kitsch and Johnson) who get into trouble with a Mexican drug cartel.
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. Blake Lively will now play the role of O.,Travolta will play Dennis, a burned out DEA agent, and Thurman will play O’s mom, Paqu.
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.
Benicio Del Toro to Join Oliver Stone’s Savages
We already had several reports about this rumor, but now it looks that things are getting serious with the upcoming Oliver Stone‘s adaptation of Savages.
Apparently, previously rumored Benicio Del Toro is now in some serious talks with director to take on the role of the leader of the drug cartel and villain of the film. It’s quite logical decision, if you ask me. On the other hand, still nothing official on Salma Hayek‘s involvement, so consider her as “in discussions.”
So, you already know that Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch are already on board, and they will play “two pot-growers whose shared girlfriend is kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel demanding that they grow exclusively for them.”
If negotiations with Hayek work out, she would play “the matriarch of the cartel that becomes maternal to the boys’ kidnapped girlfriend Ophelia.”
Taylor Kitsch, Salma Hayek and Olivia Wilde to Join Oliver Stone’s Savages?
Oliver Stone‘s Savages casting update! Every single day something new comes about this project, so we’re here today to share that Taylor Kitsch is in contention to play one of the two leads in the movie, while Olivia Wilde and Salma Hayek are also considered for the possible roles in this one. For the rest of the details, make sure to check the rest of this report.
So, we reported that Kick-Ass star, Aaron Johnson is also in talks for a lead role and today Kitsch comes as a surprise. Or, maybe not? We learned that Friday Night Lights star is in talks to play Chon, who grows marijuana with Ben in Laguna Beach.
And, as you already know, Winter’s Bone star, Jennifer Lawrence was in talks to play “beautiful young playmate and accomplice” Ophelia, or simply “O.” But since she’s going to be occupied with The Hunger Games project, we can only guess that she’s not going to be the Savages cast part after all.
Aaron Johnson as Lead in Oliver Stone’s Savages?
We already had a little chat about the upcoming Oliver Stone‘s project titled Savages, so by now you know that it is an adaptation of Don Winslow’s best-selling novel of the same name, and, that some interesting cast is already being rumored for the whole thing!
Today, we’re here to share the latest casting update, because it looks that Kick-Ass star, Aaron Johnson has been offered to play the lead role in Savages.
Back in February we reported that Winter’s Bone star, Jennifer Lawrence was in talks to join the cast, but then we learned she’s going to be quite busy with her The Hunger Games involvement.
We also had a chance to hear that Benicio Del Toro looks like a possible choice for a role of “a Mexican drug leader who takes issue with the whole operation.” Until something official comes about above mentioned – consider it just as two good rumors.
