Another Hunter S Thompson book is being made into a film.

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

This is probably old news to most devoted Hunter S. Thompson or Johnny Depp fans, but I only just found this out.

Hunter S. Thompson, who died at 67 in February this year of a self-inflicted gun shot wound to his head, wrote The Rum Diary in 1959 although it wasn’t published until 1998. Next year a film version of The Rum Diary is due to be released in America, currently there is no date for release anywhere else in the world. It seems Johnny Depp will being playing Hunter S Thompson again starring alongside Benicio Del Torro (The Usual Suspects, 21 Grams) who was originally going to direct the film. After Del Torro withdrew in 2004 the role of director went to Bruce Robinson, writer/director of Withnail & I. I haven’t yet read The Rum Diary, but I shall make sure I do before the film is released.

Johnny Depp certainly likes to keep busy, he’s working on 3 other films at the moment, a computer game and the film of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, in which he plays Willy Wonka. It is coming out next month (UK release: 29th of July).
