Rum Diary Trailer: Briefly, Disney Lets Johnny Depp Borrow His Own Soul

Here’s the trailer for Rum Diary, based on Hunter S. Thompson’s novel. I wrote my honors thesis in college on Hunter S. Thompson. I’ve read all his work, and honestly, Rum Diary wasn’t one of my favorites. It is, however, better suited to the big screen than Fear and Loathing, the movie for which I didn’t care for. I was too involved in the work of Hunter S. Thompson to see it blown up on the big-screen and as much as I dig Depp (even moreso at the time), he isn’t Hunter S. Thompson. I have no such qualms with Rum Diary. And the trailer looks … OK. I never would’ve pegged Amber Heard for a movies based on a Thompson novel, but she seems to fit, and Depp gets to pull out his kooky. Again.

This is a tease right? This won't really be released. God doesn't like us this much, right? Right?

Bruce Fucking Robinson made this?

dna is right, this is downright suspicious. This movie is too impossibly awesome on paper to actually exist.

I see Depp decided not to waste some of the face-pulls from Charlie & the Chocolate Factory... But yes, it made me laugh, so I'll see it...

Long time reader of this site and I just need to say that I am MIGHTY damn impressed that you wrote your thesis on HST. I, too, have read all of his work and am disheartened by the volume of people that fail to recognize a Gonzo Fist tattoo when they see one. :| How long, oh lord?
