Now this is the kind of film that Johnny Depp should spend his time on, not PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 25.
ETOnline have the first trailer for the new Hunter S. Thompson adaptation, THE RUM DIARY.
Paul Kemp is a freelance journalist who finds himself at a critical turning point in his life while writing for a run-down newspaper in the Caribbean. Paul is challenged on many levels as he tries to carve out a more secure niche for himself amidst a group of lost souls all bent on self-destruction.
This is the third Hunter S. Thompson project that Depp as been involved in beginning with FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS (1998) then narrating the documentary GONZO: THE LIFE AND WORK OF DR. HUNTER S. THOMPSON (2008). And after watching the trailer you’ll agree that Depp’s love affair with Thompson is a welcome thing.
THE RUM DIARY is written and directed by Bruce Robinson (WITHNAIL & I) and stars Johnny Depp, Amber Heard (DRIVE ANGRY), Aaron Eckhart (BATTLE: LOS ANGELES), Giovanni Ribisi (AVATAR), Richard Jenkins (THE VISITOR). It will be out 4th November 2011.
