Oliver Stone’s ‘Savages’ has debuted a first look at the film with a new movie poster. For the unknown, the upcoming 2012 drama comes to theaters as an adaption from novelist Don Winslow and chronicles two friends, played by Aaron Johnson of Kick-Ass and Friday Night Light’s Taylor Kitsch. Together the two Laguna Beach natives not only share the same girlfriend, played by Blake Lively of Gossip Girls, but their drug dealing business and the danger that lies ahead when they get in deep with a drug cartel. The cast also includes seasoned actor John Travolta, Kill Bill’s Uma Thurman, Benicio Del Toro, Salma Hayek, Emile Hirsch and Demian Bichir from Weeds. Get another look at the poster below and check out the plot. Savages will hit theaters on July 6th.
“Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben (Johnson), a peaceful and charitable Buddhist, and his closest friend Chon (Kitsch), a former Navy SEAL and ex-mercenary, run a lucrative, homegrown industry — raising some of the best marijuana 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.”
