John Travolta, Uma Thurman and Blake Lively are all likely to join the cast of the upcoming book-to-movie adaptation Savages.
Oliver Stone is putting together a killer cast for Savages, the drama based on Don Winslow’s bestselling novel. Stone is arranging a Pulp Fiction reunion of John Travolta and Uma Thurman, as the two actors are in talks to join the ensemble cast. Also joining is is The Town’s Blake Lively, who beat out a group of young actresses to play the role of O. Travolta will play Dennis, a burned out DEA agent, and Thurman will play O’s mom, Paqu…
…Savages focuses on the relationship between best friend Laguna pot growers Chon and Ben, who live a cozy life with their trippy galpal, O. Their pot is so good that the Mexican cartel tries to coerce them into working for the cartel. When they refuse, the cartel kidnaps O and charges a heavy ransom to get her back. The growers pay the ransom by covertly ripping off the cartel’s own shipments, a most dangerous game.
I’ve never read the book, but it sounds like it could be pretty good. Travolta and Thurman definitely have their chemistry, I’m sure Blake Lively will be good with them too. They join Aaron Johnson, Benicio Del Toro, Salma Hayek and Taylor Kitsch; quite a cast! It’s kind of crazy that Uma is playing Blake Lively‘s mom in the movie, but I guess she is getting older.
