Oliver Stone Bases Film on Laguna Beach Crime Thriller


It seems Hollywood can't get enough of Laguna Beach, our county's best seaside town.

Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone is building a cast for a crime thriller film based Don Winslow's Savages, a novel about two Laguna Beach marijuana growers who piss off a Mexican drug cartel. 
According to various news outlets, Stone wants to cast Kick Ass's Aaron Johnson, Wolverine's Taylor Kitsch and Salma Hayek.
