Savages seems to be going ahead in the right direction as it adds another member to it’s cast. Savages is set to be released September 28, 2012.

Mía Maestro, who next appears in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 as Carmen, has landed a role in Oliver Stone’s Savages.

The actress will play the wife of Benicio Del Toro’s character. She may seem like a typical soccer mom on the outside, but her exterior hides the hardened gang life from her past. Benicio Del Toro plays an enforcer for a Mexican drug cartel, who muscles in on two laid-back Laguna Beach weed growers (Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson) by kidnapping their shared girlfriend (Blake Lively).

Variety also lets us know that A Better Life actor Demian Bichir is currently in talks for Oliver Stone‘s Savages. He’s playing Alex, who they describe as being “a two-timing attorney who works for Salma Hayek‘s cartel.” He’s been receiving some positive notices for his work in A Better Life as of late, while he’s also appeared in the Showtime series Weeds, and played Fidel Castro in Steven Soderbergh‘s Che.

Based on the book of the same name by Don Winslow, it follows two drug dealers in Laguna Beach – played by Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch – who must save their friend, O (Blake Lively) who has been kidnapped by the Mexican drug cartel. Benicio del Toro is playing the main enforcer of the cartel, and Hayek is playing Elena, the woman who looks after O while she’s in their custody. Emile Hirsch has an unspecified part, while Uma Thurman and John Travolta will have a Pulp Fiction reunion here, with the former playing O’s mother, while the latter is appearing as a “burned out DEA agent.”
