The Rum Diary is in production (great news for Fear & Loathing fans) |
|
Starring Johnny Depp, Benicio del Toro, Josh Hartnett, and Nick Nolte. I can't wait to see Nick... this oughtta be hilarious.
"Begun in 1959 by a then-twenty-two-year-old Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary is a brilliantly tangled love story of jealousy, treachery and violent alcoholic lust in the Caribbean boomtown that was San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the late 1950s."
Benicio is directing it.
I can't wait!

Terry Gilliam is my favorite director. That being said, however, Benicio's performance in Fear and Loathing brought with it its terrible darkness.
I wonder if he is going to go throughthe weight-gaining process as he did for Fear and Loathing?
I fear for his cardiovascular system. And his renal system, for that matter. :)

5. That certainly doesn't fit the character, does it? |
|
Though I imagine your desire is not based on accuracy. :)

6. You're right, it's not. |
|
I want more gratuitious male sexual exploitation in movies. Is that so wrong?
