Based on author Don Winslow's book the story follows two best friend pot growers (Aaron Johnson, Taylor Kitsch) in Laguna who share a trippy girl named Ophelia. The duo are so good at their job that an enforcer (Benicio Del Toro) demands they work for his boss, a Mexican drug cartel matriarch (possibly Salma Hayek).
Lively would play Ophelia--a role that Teresa Palmer and Olivia Wilde were also in consideration for as was Jennifer Lawrence until she signed on for "The Hunger Games"
Shane Salerno and Don Winslow wrote the script.
Hold on though Gossip Girl Lively is also considering the role of Glinda the Good Witch of the East in Sam Raimi's Oz: The Great and Powerful. Overlapping schedules this summer will likely prevent the actress from signing on to both films.
In that pic James Franco plays a traveling salesman and illusionist whisked away to Oz in a hot air balloon in a prequel to The Wizard of Oz. Mila Kunis also stars as the evil Theodora
The film has a script that is written by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire, and will be produced by Joe Roth.
A tough choice indeed--Lively would do well in either film really. I suspect--she'll opt for which ever film is most conducive to her TV gig
