Two and a half years later, and still not a camera rolling! At least it's not forgotten, and I intend to be there opening night whenever this might open.

Three years later, and casting has just begun.

I never thought Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas was anything special....
It was good but nothing amazing or anything but I'll check this out....

^ agreed. Also, without Gilliam... this follow-up shouldn't be made.

The Rum Diary stylistically bares little resemblance to Vegas. If I remember there is little to no drug use, alcohol seems to be the poison here, and it is not a sequel to Vegas. If anything it's a prequel (if just that it's based on Thompson's experiences), but it's squarely in the ficitional category rather than the gonzo journalism mode of the majority of Thompson's work.

It's a bit like saying without Stanley Kubrick Rendezvous with Rama shouldn't be made.

Having recently seen Withnail and I and loving the shit out of Depp's Hunter S. Thompson, I'm quite excited for this one.

Re: Depp and DelToro to resurrect the Duke and Gonzo!!!!
From The Hollywood Reporter:
Aaron Eckhart and Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins will be hitting the sauce in "Rum Diary," the adaptation of the Hunter S. Thompson novel that stars Johnny Depp.

Eckhart is in negotiations while Jenkins is signed on for the movie, which Bruce Robinson adapted and is directing. Amber Heard also is on board.

Eckhart is part of a love triangle that sees him vying with Depp for Heard's affection. "Diary" is the tale of a washed-up, hard-drinking journalist named Paul Kemp (Depp) in 1950s Puerto Rico. Eckhart would play Sanderson, a wealthy landowner who believes everything has a price and introduces Kemp to a different standard of living.

Jenkins is playing Lotterman, the man who oversees the rundown newspaper where Kemp works.
MODS: Could someone change the thread title? It it's current state, it is both misleading and several years out of date. Perhaps: Rum Diary (Robinson, 2010): Depp in Hunter Thompson adaptation

Here is the film's IMDB page.

Anyone know of any of the locations in Puerto Rico that are in the book?

Awesome.


Would this be his 3rd time playing the role since this was out last year:

Looks decent, but I have a feeling the finished product will be a mess.

Well that's looks a lot more interesting than the crap Depp has been starring in as of late.

I didn't write that in code. I don't understand your confusion.

Slightly confused by your laughing so much from the trailer. I thought it was sarcasm, guess not?

No, I thought it was funny. I guess I should have indicated it better.

Looks like fun. Depp is good in pretty much everything, so at least it has that going for it.

Now that the movie is out and has a title, maybe this thread's title needs "The Rum Diary" added to it.
