DISC THREE: Blu-ray — Special Features
- NEW Oliver Stone on SAVAGES (20:25, 1080p) - Stone explains how he wanted to depart from fact-based docudramas for a return to films in the mold of NBK (1994) and U-Turn (1997). He also describes his desire to make a sun-drenched film akin to a King Vidor western. He talks some about adapting Don Winslow's eponymous novel and making changes to it along with co-writers Winslow and Shane Salerno. Stone reveals who he originally sought to play the character of O and what happened to the casting of that central role. He also divulges another actor who showed strong interest in the project. In addition, Stone dissects the characters and his interpretations of their choices within the narrative. He shares other details about Savages that doesn't necessarily overlap with his commentary track. In English, not subtitled.
- NEW Living Like Savages with Producer Moritz Borman (18:22, 1080p) - Borman articulates how he got the job on Savages and describes the various shooting locales. He recounts when he first met Oliver Stone and details their subsequent friendship. He also speaks about working with fellow producer Eric Kopeloff. More, Borman briefly talks about developing Don Winslow's novel, the casting process, DP Dan Mindel as a collaborator, and the biggest challenge he faced on the film. In English, not subtitled.
- NEW Interview with Co-Editor Stuart Levy (21:12, 1080p) - Levy lays out how Stone communicates what he wants his films to feel like for him. He also explains why Stone uses multiple editors on his films. Levy remembers the point when he first joined Savages. He recollects how he incorporated Adam Peters's score in post-production. Levy reveals his favorite part of the editing process. Finally, he discusses the actors' performances in Savages. In English, not subtitled.
- NEW Living Like Savages with Co-Editor Alex Márquez (20:41, 1080p) - Márquez discusses his editorial role on Any Given Sunday (1999) and working many years later with Stone on his Untold History mini-series. He recollects working first with Joe Hutshing and later Stuart Levy on Savages. Márquez describes the way Stone likes to cut his pictures together. When specifically discussing Savages, Márquez presents how he evaluated dailies and a wealth of footage from different cameras, chose the music (along with Stone), and implemented temp tracks. He gives his thoughts on the film's ending. In English, not subtitled.
- NEW Living Like Savages with Producer Eric Kopeloff (28:34, 1080p) - In the disc's longest interview, Kopeloff remembers that Bryan Lourd, the CEO and co-chairman of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), gave him the galleys of Winslow's Savages manuscript. Kopeloff explains his role as a producer, his working partnership with Stone, and shopping Savages to studios. He goes into length about how the crew scouted and used the locations. Kopeloff covers a lot of topics in considerable depth in less than a half hour. In English, not subtitled.
- Deleted Scenes (16:01 altogether, 1080p) - a compilation of nine excised scenes: "Chon's Childhood", "Alex & Lado chat with Elena", "Saying goodbye to Spin", "Hayes isn't picking up", "Stake out", "Elena coming north", "Elena & Magda argue" "Daria story", and "This one's for Frankie Hayes". They appear in 2.39:1 anamorphic widescreen and and come with Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo (192 kbps). The scenes play in succession. None of the scenes are included in the unrated version. All are interesting to see but I can see why Stone and his editors omitted them. They link thematically with the material used in both cuts but were probably deemed redundant. One scene includes a shot that, had it been used, would have diminished the suspense and surprise that was to follow. Most scenes are in English. There's some Spanish dialogue, which is accompanied by hard-coded English subs.
- Stone Cold Savages: The Making of the Film (33:53 altogether) - presented in five separate parts. Shout includes a "PLAY ALL" option.
- 1. Origins (2:52)
- 2. The Savages (6:48)
- 3. Real Savagery (8:38)
- 4. A Savage Set (11:26)
- 5. Savage Cuts (4:07)
