John Travolta and Uma Thurman Reunite for Oliver Stone

Oliver Stone is reuniting John Travolta and Uma Thurman — who, it really should go without saying, first won our hearts while making movie magic together in F. Gary Gray’s Be Cool — for Savages, an adaptation of Don Winslow’s novel about small-time pot growers who get mixed up with a Mexican drug cartel. Travolta is in talks to play a jaded DEA Agent, Dennis; Thurman is in talks to play the mother of the pot growers’ pal O. (The previously just-rumored Blake Lively.) This sounds even better than Be Cool. [Deadline]
