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.

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.

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.

From The Hollywood Reporter:
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 It it's current state, it is both misleading and several years out of date.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.
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.

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

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

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.
