Yay! Hunter S. Thompson’s Rum Diary Might Not Suck!
So here we finally have the trailer to Hunter S. Thompson’s Rum Diary. I feel like this movie has been in development since I was LITTLE…which usually makes me a little nervous about projects like this. But here we have director Bruce Robinson (Withnail & I) working with Johnny Depp who is again portraying HST. Speaking of Johnny Depp, what happened to THAT guy?! Hopefully this film will end his losing streak.
The trailer seems pretty solid but it is kind of hard to tell…i’m gonna try to not get too pumped. I know from the novel that this is not as WACKY of a story as Fear and Loathing as it is much earlier in time and lacks most of the drug use.
Amber Heard looks like she needs the business that’s for sure.
Thoughts?

damn I hadn’t even heard of this until now. I’ve got my hopes up now though, seems like it will be legit. I could easily be disappointed but I believe in Depp’s portrayal
