THE RUM DIARY - new movie - Johnny Depp as Paul Kemp

seems like last year, Johnny Depp was bounced around to a few unexpected projects. He spent some time filming Public Enemies (which we saw HERE), then jetted off to replace Heath Ledger, along with Jude Law and Golden Globe winner Colin Farrell in Terry Gillaims The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. It seems like we heard that Tim Burton was going to be filming Alice In Wonderland for Disney mere weeks before he was actually filming it and Depp was on hand as The Mad Hatter (maybe first seen HERE).

Thats a lot of work, back and forth, from a guy who was exclusively Captain Jack Sparrow for a few years there.

Now, weve got a casting announcement that suggests Depps next project will be The Rum Diary, which would see him reprise his role from Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas and bring Hunter S. Thompson to screen once more

Are they really doing the movie?

I knew there was some talk about it some time back but it was pretty stagnant.

I love the book..and johnny was a close friend of hunters so i'm sure he will do great.

"OMG DEPP IS SO HAWT!"

PLEASE, shut the fuck up. I know for a fact Hunter wouldn't approve of this bull shit. He should be ashamed of making cash off his late friend.

an excellent book, Depp has stayed a faithful friend to Dr. Thompson. Depp did buy most of Thompson's estate.
