Friday, August 26, 2011 at 7:14AM The First Trailer for Hunter S. Thompson's 'The Rum Diary' is Here!
I've anticipated the arrival of the next movie adaptation from the novels a.k.a the bizarre mind of the late Hunter S. Thompson for years now. The Rum Diary stars former Thompson pal and the actor who portrayed him perfectly in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Johnny Depp. The first trailer for The Rum Diary is here thanks to ET Online, and it looks like a hilariously fun/chaotic 110 minutes at the theater.
In this quirky adventure from writer/director Bruce Robinson, Depp plays Paul Kemp, a freelance journalist working at a run-down newspaper in the Carribean, who's at a cross roads in his life. Paul tries to create an identity for himself amongst a group of locals that seem hell bent on going down a path of self-destruction, and bringing Paul along for the ride.
The super sexy Amber Heard (Pineapple Express) co-stars, along with Aaron Eckhart, Richard Jenkins (w/hilarious toupee), Giovanni Ribisi and Michael Rispoli (The Sopranos). But it's the performance and narrative from Depp that I'm most anxious to see. Of course, the setting and supporting characters look fantastic too.
The Rum Diary opens on October 28, 2011. I can't wait!
