It seems like Johnny Depp has been working on an adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s The Rum Diary ever since the 1959 memoir was first published in 1998, so it’s nice to finally see a trailer for the sure-to-be gonzo classic. The trailer doesn’t tell us much about the film’s story, but it sure tells us a lot about the film being an experience!
Of course, Depp‘s character, Paul Kemp, is essentially a stand-in for the real-life Thompson, so we can probably expect more of Depp‘s fantastic impersonation of the man himself. The film also stars also stars Aaron Eckhart, Amber Heard, Michael Rispoli, Richard Jenkins and Giovanni Ribisi. It is set for an October 23 release.
