    Well this is pretty fantastic. I read yesterday The Rum Diary was made into a movie starring Johnny Depp once again and is due out late this year. Great news.

    they finally went through with it? it was suppose to be made years ago, but when hunter died, everything was put on a sudden hold. i hope they completed it, that would be great news. i really enjoyed the book.

    I believe it looks like they did from this

    +1. Great book. Can't believe he risked himself. I've started reading The Proud Highway and it's pretty good from what I've read.

    He's excited about his next project, The Rum Diary, which hits theaters on Oct. 28. He was researching his 1998 movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with Hunter S. Thompson when they discovered the manuscript for The Rum Diary in Thompson's basement.

    "I pulled it out. I was like ‘What is this?’ Hunter was like, “Oh, s--t, The Rum Diary ... Hunter didn’t know it was there," Depp says.
