LOOKIN' LIVELY, OLIVER STONE! 'GOSSIP GIRL' PICKS 'SAVAGES'
Blake Lively's deal is done to play Ophelia in Oliver Stone's "Savages," Variety's Justin Kroll (@krolljvar) exclusively reports. SHOWBLITZ first told you that the "Gossip Girl" star was the director's choice. John Travolta is also locked for the film about two Laguna Beach marijuana kingpins forced to work for a Mexican drug cartel after Ophelia, the free-spirited girlfriend they share, is kidnapped. Lively beat out the likes of Olivia Wilde and Teresa Palmer for the role, and chose it over playing a witch in “Oz: The Great and Powerful” for Disney.
