Oliver Stone has always hit home runs controversially and commercially, but lately he's been striking out critically. Savages, which came out back in July, is a break from Stone's controversial oeuvre. Revolving around a drug cartel kidnapping and an unlikely friendship, Savages is one well-crafted, sexy-ass slugfest. It's more U-Turn Stone than W. (I have no idea what Wall-Street: Money Never Sleeps was supposed to be) and despite its mediocre run in theaters (nothing this summer fared well in the shadow of The Avengers), it was one of the most entertaining films of summer 2012. Hit the jump to find out how the Universal Blu-ray holds up.

Savages begins in black and white. We're on a beach and Ophelia (O, for short - Blake Lively) is narrating. From the information she's giving us, we're not sure whether she's alive or dead. After this brief prologue, death continues to hover over everything in the film. And I'm not saying that just because people get their heads cut off by heavies wearing skeleton masks. Death is a theme that pops up and is played with frequently in the film - from the La Santa Muerta (St. Death) paraphernalia to the motivation of pretty much every character in a film populated by anti-heroes and scumbags.

Chon (Taylor Kitsch) is an ex-soldier and co-owner of an independent, highly lucrative weed business. He saw a lot of shit over in Afghanistan and he's clearly not afraid to die protecting what he loves. Also, "Chon" is the weirdest name ...]]></description>

Oliver Stone, a remarkable wordsmith, can alternate from topic to topic with nary a breath in between.  A simple question on working with Salma Hayek can suddenly morph into Stone remarking on the nature of masculinity in the country to his first and only encounter with George W. Bush.  Add the equally outspoken Benicio Del Toro into the conversation – and it’s best just to shut up and let the two extraordinarily talented men talk.

The topic at hand was supposed to be the twosome’s collaborative effort: the unfairly maligned Savages (currently on DVD and Blu-ray); but the conversation veered from the film to thoughts on the drug war to a fourth cut of Alexander to Del Toro’s debut appearance in License to Kill to Stone’s current documentary series The Untold History of The United States, among many other topics of conversation.  For highlights from Stone and Del Toro, hit the jump.


Oliver Stone on Benicio Del Toro [with objections from Del Toro]:

Oliver Stone: Benicio gave me the most intellectual feedback during the script. He would call me on a Sunday.  And I’d go ‘Oh fuck.’ Two fucking hours later… [Benicio] tortures you for a bit, and eventually you say, 'Well, you know, he does have a point.' You get to that place in your mind where you overcome resistance and you go with it. Sometimes a better idea, sometimes not so, but we changed quite a bit as we went. [Lado] was very much a live character. A small thing but ...]]></description>

This week on Blu-ray, Pixar’s latest comes to home video, one of the most popular sitcoms of all time finally gets an HD upgrade, and a visually arresting classic gets the Blu-ray treatment.  Briefly:

	Bill &#38; Ted's Excellent Adventure [Blu-ray] - $13.86 (31% off)

Hit the jump for all the details.
Bill &#38; Ted's Excellent Adventure [Blu-ray]
 
As we patiently await news on the sequel, the original Bill &#38; Ted’s Excellent Adventure hits Blu-ray for the first time. The special features list hasn’t yet been made publicly available, but I assume the disc won’t boast much.
Brave (Five-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD + Digital Copy)
Brave (Three-Disc Collector's Edition: Blu-ray / DVD)
 
As is the norm, Disney/Pixar has gone all out for the home video release of their latest venture, Brave.  The set includes an audio commentary by director Mark Andrews, co-director Steve Purcell, story supervisor Brian Larsen, and editor ...]]></description>

For the past six days, Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man has held the top spot at the daily box office. It should surprise no one, therefore, that the reboot easily netted the weekend prize as well; earning an estimated $65 million from 4,318 locations. That gives the film a new domestic total of $140 million, a number that’s higher than early projections but lower than past entries in the Spider-Man series. Worldwide, the film has now earned a reported $341 million, which is not too bad for reboot...

Last Tuesday, one of 2012’s most hotly debated titles swung in to theatres. You are, no doubt, familiar with objections to The Amazing Spider-Man, such as: “It’s too soon to try to reboot a franchise that is only a decade old!” After all, did Hollywood think we would line up to see another Peter Parker origin story when Sam Raimi’s trilogy was still fresh in our minds?  Yes. Yes, they did. And many among us happily obliged, helping The Amazing Spider-Man secure a bigger-than-expected opening of $35 million on July third and one of the top five Independence Day weekends in history.

But how to quantify those numbers? Should we think of The Amazing Spider-Man in terms of past reboots, in which case its box office looks impressive; or in terms of the numbers generated by Raimi’s series? Either way the results are not particularly satisfying - especially considering that, unlike ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
As much as I enjoy film, my first entertainment love will always be music. As such, this weekend finds me in Chicago in anticipation of what could be my final Warped Tour appearance. That's right, I'm a 26 year-old man (I use the term "man" lightly, of course) who still finds immense joy in the pop-punk genre. Nevertheless, it's becoming harder and harder for my oldness to blend in with a predominantly sub-18 crowd without looking like a total creep and, therefore, today may very well be my last Warped experience. On the bright side, I still have XBox Live to remind me that I've never completely grown up.
Maturity issues aside, on tap in this week's version of the Top 5 is a slew of interviews for The Amazing Spider-Man, the first trailer and new images for Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher, our most anticipated movies from July to September, Savages interviews with Oliver Stone, Blake Lively, etc., and more The Dark Knight Rises coverage than most humans are capable of comprehending. Links and brief recaps for each reside after the break.
1. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Interviews with Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and More

I'll make this as straightforward as possible: Spider-Man 2 &#62; Spider-Man &#62; The Amazing Spider-Man &#62; Spider-Man 3. While Sony's latest iteration of the character might fall at #3 on my own Spidey rankings, I actually think its cast is superior to its predecessors at almost every turn (sorry, Rhys, Alfred Molina stole my heart). Speaking of the cast, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The purpose of a Friday box office report is to provide some indication of how new releases will fare over their first weekends. Of course, that purpose is undermined when the frame’s biggest title has been around since Tuesday. The Amazing Spider-Man had a promising start, earning just under $60 million through the Fourth of July holiday and $75 million in its first three days. With a Friday estimate of $20.7 million from 4,318 locations, Sony’s reboot looks like it will end up with close to $140 over six days, or slightly higher than studio projections. Katy Perry: Part Of Me, the latest 3D concert film, also got a jump on the Friday box office: launching Thursday with $3.1 million from 2,730 locations. With only $2.7 million on Friday, however, Part Of Me looks like it will struggle to top $10 million by Sunday. The only new movie that stuck to the Friday release model was Universal’s Savages. The R-rated drama from director Oliver Stone earned an estimated $5.6 million from 2,628 locations towards what should be a $15 million first weekend.

We’ll have full details on the post-holiday box office tomorrow.

The drama Savages, from three-time Oscar-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone, follows entrepreneurs Ben (Aaron Johnson) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch), and their shared girlfriend O (Blake Lively), who run a lucrative business raising some of the best marijuana ever developed.  But, the legendary weed of these Laguna Beach heroes soon catches the interest of the Mexican Baja Cartel, headed by the merciless Elena “La Reina” (Salma Hayek).  Along with her brutal enforcer Lado (Benicio Del Toro) and her head attorney Alex (Demian Bichir), Elena demands a partnership which she ensures by kidnapping that which they love most, and what was once a peaceful and easy lifestyle becomes a high-stakes battle of wills.  For more on the film, here’s six clips.

At the film’s press day, co-stars Benicio Del Toro and Demian Bichir talked about what it was like to work with each other again (they had previously co-starred in Che), the freedom that director Oliver Stone gave them in portraying their characters, what resonated with them about the men they were playing, and their concerns with playing this type of role.  Check out what they had to say after the jump.

Question: You first worked together on Che.  What was it like to work with each other again, in this light?

BENICIO DEL TORO:  He was somebody else and I was somebody else.  When you do movies, I think that’s possible. 

 

DEMIAN BICHIR:  I think the result is right there on the screen.  As soon as you believe what’s happening there, all the fights ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
A wise man once said*, "If you have them in the first fifteen minutes, you have a movie.  If you have them in the last fifteen minutes, you have a hit."  By that metric, Oliver Stone's Savages is neither a movie nor a hit.  It begins with an atrocious first act full of flat expository narration including one of the worst lines of dialogue I've ever heard: "I have orgasms.  He has wargasms."  That's a deep hole to dig out of, but Savages manages to do so with a strong, thoughtful, exciting middle section that explore where people derive their power.  And then the movie falls apart with an ending that erases all the hard work the film had accomplished.



Chon (Taylor Kitsch) and Ben (Aaron Johnson) are Laguna Beach-based marijuana kingpins who run the ideal business.  They have the finest product, deal fairly with all their employees and customers, and their skill sets compliment each other.  Ben is the crunchy-granola botanist who knows how to manufacture the high-quality pot, and he uses his proceeds to fund charitable endeavors.  Chon is the practical muscle who deals with the dangerous side of the business.  They work so well together that they're in a healthy, happy polygamous relationship with O (Blake Lively).  Their perfect world is thrown into chaos when a brutal Mexican drug cartel run by Elena (Salma Hayek) initiates a hostile takeover by kidnapping O.  Ben and Chon must then figure out how to get their girl back and get out ...]]></description>

At the film’s press day, actor Aaron Johnson spoke to Collider for this exclusive interview about how Oliver Stone wanted him for the film but didn’t immediately know for which role, how he enjoyed being challenged by the director, and the journey he went on with co-star Taylor Kitsch.  He also talked about the type of roles he wants to play, having read the Kick-Ass 2 script, which he says is definitely a hard R and that he expects will go into production in the Fall, and he addressed the recent statement that American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis made on Twitter about how he would be a good choice for the male lead in the film adaptation of the much-talked-about erotic novel 50 Shades of Grey.  Check out what he had to ...]]></description>

Question: When you got the call that Oliver Stone wanted to cast you in this film, what was your reaction?

		<description><![CDATA[
Today, we're happy to premiere an exclusive featurette for Oliver Stone's upcoming crime-thriller Savages.  The film stars Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson as two pot dealers who must rescue their shared girlfriend (Blake Lively) from Mexican cartel runners (Salma Hayek and Benicio Del Toro).  In this exclusive featurette, we meet the film's DEA Consultant/Advisor Eddie Follis, and we also get a look at John Travolta's character, DEA Agent Dennis Cain.

Hit the jump to check out the featurette.  Savages opens July 6th.








$sb("co008_1fb9d69cf805ef88eb20b9e3090b7089",{"sbFeed":{"partnerId":122,"type":"video","contentId":514785,"cname":"collider"},"style":{"width":500,"height":375}});
google.load("ima", "1");

Here's the official synopsis for Savages and all our previous coverage:
Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben (Johnson), a peaceful and charitable marijuana producer, and his closest friend Chon (Kitsch), a former Navy SEAL and ex-mercenary, run a lucrative, homegrown industry—raising some of the best weed 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.

The drama Savages, from three-time Oscar-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone, follows entrepreneurs Ben (Aaron Johnson) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch), and their shared girlfriend O (Blake Lively), who run a lucrative business raising some of the best marijuana ever developed.  But, the legendary weed of these Laguna Beach heroes soon catches the interest of the Mexican Baja Cartel, headed by the merciless Elena “La Reina” (Salma Hayek).  Along with her brutal enforcer Lado (Benicio Del Toro) and her head attorney Alex (Demian Bichir), Elena demands a partnership which she ensures by kidnapping that which they love most, and what was once a peaceful and easy lifestyle becomes a high-stakes battle of wills.  For more on the film, here's six clips.

At the film’s press day, co-stars Blake Lively and Salma Hayek talked about what they brought to their characters, preparing for such gritty roles, how many times they had to spit in and slap Benicio Del Toro’s face, respectively, and the fascination with a woman like Elena who has so much power.  Lively also talked about shooting her CW drama series Gossip Girl simultaneously with Savages, while Hayek talked about her love of swearing in Spanish.  Check out what they had to say after the jump.



Question: Salma, we’re used to seeing drug cartel lords being these cold-hearted, macho men.  Your character is not only obviously a girl, but she has a lot of layers going for her.  Did that come from the book, or was that what you brought to the role?

At the film’s press day, director Oliver Stone talked about shooting Savages on film, his motivations for the unconventional ending, how possible he thinks the portrayal of the cartels could be, that he likes his actors to be the best advocate for their characters, and whether or not he took the different perceptions that both sides of the border might have about the film into consideration.  Check out what he had to say after the jump.

Question: Now that the industry is moving away from film as the standard, what do you expect the next generation of filmmakers to be like when film is no longer the foundation?

OLIVER STONE:  Wow, that’s a really pregnant question, and you’re so right!  I make a film like this every two years, so every time I come back to it, there’s ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
We're halfway into summer 2012 and, with the exception of The Avengers, it's been a bit of a disappointing blur.  The third-quarter of 2012 is now upon us and we hope that the second half of the summer season will turn around (possibly with the help of a caped crusader) and then lead us into a fall packed with the smaller dramas that signal the beginning of the awards race.
There's a lot to look forward to in the next three months, so hit the jump for lists of our most-anticipated films from July to September.

Matt's Picks


PARANORMAN

Directors: Sam Fell and Chris Butler

Voice Cast: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Casey Affleck, Anna Kendrick, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Leslie Mann, Jeff Garlin, John Goodman, and Alex Borstein.

Release Date: August 17

Why I’m Excited: I'm a huge fan of stop-motion animation, and I love the offbeat, strange look of ParaNorman.  The Pirates! Band of Misfits missed the mark by being incredibly clever, but not laugh-out-loud funny, and Frankenweenie looks cute, but nothing remarkable.  Judging by the trailer, ParaNorman looks delightfully strange and weird, and I'm eager to see more of the flick.

COSMOPOLIS

Directors: David Cronenberg 

Cast: Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoch, Sarah Gadon, Mathieu Amalric, Jay Baruchel, Kevin Durand and Paul Giamatti

Release Date: August 17

Why I’m Excited: This film is a return and a turning point.  It's a return to the visually strange for Cronenberg who has kept his characters twisted but his worlds real with his last three pictures.  For star Robert Pattinson, this could be the moment where Edward Cullen shatters into a billion pieces and ...]]></description>

We've got a good selection of new posters to share with you today (in addition to these awesome examples from the upcoming Total Recall reboot).  Here's what we have to offer:

	Taken 2 - The sequel to Pierre Morel's Taken features the return of ex-CIA operative Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) who finds himself on the wrong end of a kidnapping.  Taken 2 opens October 5th.
	Savages - Oliver Stone's newest film stars Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson as two marijuana dealers who must rescue their shared girlfriend (Blake Lively) from Mexican cartel runners (Salma Hayek and Benicio Del Toro). Savages opens July 6th.
	Magic Mike - Based on his real-life experience as a male stripper, Magic Mike follows Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, Joe Manganiello and more through their daily (and nightly) exploits.  Magic Mike opens June 29th.
	Won't Back Down - Based on a true story of the fight to reform urban education, Won't Back Down stars Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis.  The film opens September 28th.

Hit the jump to check out the posters.

First up from Empire (via First Showing) is the first look at Neeson in Taken 2:

We don't have a synopsis yet but we have some more sweet images from the film here.  And here's a bonus Father's Day card from Alex Billington at First Showing:

The following posters come courtesy of IMPAwards. Here we have an international poster for Magic Mike.  I love that the Russian title is, roughly, Profession: Stripteaser.  Check out the clothing-optional trailer for the film here.

This weekend, Collider got to participate in the press junket for Savages, the new film from three-time Oscar-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone.  Based on Don Winslow’s best-selling novel, the story follows two Laguna Beach entrepreneurs, Ben (Aaron Johnson) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch), and their shared girlfriend O (Blake Lively), who run a very lucrative business selling some of the best marijuana ever developed, which attracts the unwanted interest of the Mexican Baja Cartel.  For more on the film, you can watch six clips here.

While we will run the interviews about the film closer to its July 6th release in theaters, we did want to share what actor Aaron Johnson had to say to us about finally going into production on the Kick-Ass sequel, which is set to shoot in the Fall.  He said that he has gotten to see a script, that it keeps the standard hard R feel of the first film, and that he’s excited to get back in the suit.  He also addressed the recent statement that American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis made on Twitter about how he would be a good choice for the male lead in the film adaptation of the much-talked-about erotic novel, 50 Shades of Grey.  Check out what he had to say after the jump.

Collider: Since there’s been talk of it again, will there finally be a Kick-Ass sequel?

AARON JOHNSON:  It’s pretty much set to go, this Fall.  I think now Chloe [Grace Moretz] and Chris [Mintz-Plasse] are on board.  I’m certainly ...]]></description>

The big sci-fi release of the summer has come and gone, and now it’s time to look at what the rest of these next few “big movie” months have to offer.  Buried between the animated fare and superhero pics is the next film from director Oliver Stone: the crime drama Savages.  While Stone has been relatively off his game for the past few years, Savages looks to be a return to the gritty crime-filled pics of his earlier career.  The story centers on two Laguna Beach marijuana kingpins (Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson) who encounter a world of trouble when their shared girlfriend (Blake Lively) is kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel.

As part of the film’s marketing campaign, a slew of “interrogation” videos have landed online.  They feature the principal characters of the film in an interrogation environment, and it gives us a chance to get to know these guys a bit more.  Hit the jump to take a look.  The film also stars Salma Hayek, Benicio Del Toro, John Travolta and Uma Thurman.  Savages opens on July 6th.

Videos via the film's official website.

Two new TV spots have been released for Oliver Stone’s upcoming crime drama Savages.  The film centers on two Laguna Beach marijuana kingpins (Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson) who encounter a world of trouble when their shared girlfriend (Blake Lively) is kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel.  I’m a big fan of Kitsch and I’m hoping Savages is a success this year following the commercial disappointments of John Carter and Battleship—he was swell in the criminally underseen John Carter and his charisma is a big part of what makes Battleship semi-enjoyable.  These TV spots confirm that Eminem’s “Til I Collapse” is the unofficial theme song of Savages, and I’m actually really looking forward to an Oliver Stone film for the first time in a long time.

Hit the jump to watch the TV spots.  The film also stars Benicio Del Toro, Salma Hayek, Demian Bichir, Emile Hirsch, Uma Thurman, and John Travolta.  Savages opens on July 6th.
