Three-time Oscar-winner Oliver Stone helms the ensemble thriller Savages based on the book by Don Winslow and starring Taylor Kitsch, Aaron Johnson, Salma Hayek, Blake Lively, John Travolta, Benicio Del Toro, and Demian Bichir. Hitting theaters on July 6th, the Universal Pictures drama finds Hayek playing the leader of a Mexican drug cartel and Lively playing the girlfriend of both Kitsch and Johnson, best friends and pot growers whose business draws the attention of Hayek's cartel.

Teaming up to discuss the dramatic film, Hayek and Lively described working with Oliver Stone to figure out how to play these roles and facing off against Benicio Del Toro as 'Lado.'
