Can Oliver Stone Make Savages Look Better Than Its Award-Winning-Worst Book Trailer?

· With a cast of hot stars like Blake Lively, Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson, and some highly-respected veterans like Salma Hayek, Benicio Del Toro, Uma Thurman and John Travolta, the Oliver Stone-directed adaptation of Don Winslow's Savages is already getting big buzz. Yet judging from the Moby Award-winning-worst book trailer for the novel, Stone has his work cut out for him. Click ahead to watch the badness, then stick around for more Buzz Break.

Full disclosure: having recently read Savages, I can say with certainty that it's as ham-fisted as that trailer. Good luck, Ollie!
