Jennifer Lawrence, who received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for ‘Winter’s Bone,’ is in negotiations to star in Oliver Stone’s adaptation of Don Winslow’s best-selling novel ‘Savages.’ The story revolves around three friends ala ‘Jules and Jim’ — two best friend pot growers/sellers in Laguna Beach, CA, and O, the wild child girlfriend they share.

According to Deadline, Stone has been meeting with top actors to play the two leads, a list that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Aaron Johnson, Tom Hardy, James Franco and ‘Tron Legacy’s’ Garrett Hedlund; Benicio Del Toro is being looked at for the role of the Mexican drug cartel enforcer.
