The first poster has been revealed for Oliver Stone’s latest film ‘Savages’ and it’s features Taylor Kitsch, Benicio Del Toro, Blake Lively, Salma Hayek and John Travolta with a fairly interesting design. Let’s take a look and critique!
Three-time Oscar-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, Uma Thurman, 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 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.
When the merciless head of the BC, Elena (Hayek), and her brutal enforcer, Lado (Del Toro), underestimate the unbreakable bond among these three friends, Ben and Chon–with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent (Travolta)–wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel. And so begins a series of increasingly vicious ploys and maneuvers in a high stakes, savage battle of wills.
It’s a somewhat interesting premise that has some great potential if Stone is able to produce work that are regarded as higher quality than some of his recent works. The poster is interesting if a bit uninspired. The dude in the luchidore mask is clearly the most interesting looking character thus far and gives some insight in the creativity, wardrobe wise, that this film might possibly exercise. I’m definitely looking forward to finding out more and will be sure to share more info as soon as it’s available.
