after depp did that amazing job in fear and loathing in las vegas hes now starring in an adaptation of hunters Rum Diary which i think is out next year (you'll have to check imdb) Im really hoping its as good as fear and loathing seeing as i adored that film (and book), although Gilliam isnt directing this one. I havent read the Rum Diary, is it any good? Im assuming it is as everything else by Hunter ive read is amazing. im hoping its not the same thing as Fear and Loathing obviously but i just hope depp is basically playing Hunter in it. Supposedely before filming Fear and Loathing Hunter and Depp spent 2 months living together which would prolly explain why Depp was amazingly realistic at playing Hunter. |

any film with depp is nice (well, except for one or two)..i doubt he'd get involved with a film based on thompson's story if he wasn't intrigued by the script or had confidence in the director. i think he respects thompson too much. shave that head! WOO! |

hehee yer i highly doubt it will suck but i dont wanna put my neck on the line for a guy who, after years of playing underdog roles in wierd low rent films (which i admired loads), to suddenly being mr WILLY WONKA himself. Im kinda hoping he can be as awsome as he was. Shame theres prolly no room for Benito in this one though :( |

'Where The Buffalo Roam' has been released on DVD, so I'll be buying that next week since a) I love HST, and b) I love Bill Murray, and I suppose c) it's been supposed to be good and Murray is apparently very good in it. The Rum Diary is an excellent book, better than Fear & Loathing in my estimation, but obviously less appealing to the majority of F&L fans. |

rum diary is my favorite book. |
||||||||

|
|

havnt seen where the buffalo roam, but heard its menna be shit. |

Oh, and having read the full thread title, Rum Diary is nothing like Fear And Loathing. This is a 'serious' novel, fictionalising his time when Hunter lived in the West Indies (forgotten which island) and worked as a journalist. |

i think its in puerto rico... i think |
||||||||
|
|

|

oh dude i dindt actually mean to suggest it was anything like fear and loathing, it was more a means to inform people whod seen fear and loathing but dindt really know who HST was. |

btw, Where the Buffalo Roam is good, but a little strange. Bill Murray starts off the film as if he's playing a caricature of Hunter, like he's "acting," but by the end, you can see himself completely immersed in the role. I heard somewhere that he had to spend several years after the movie trying to unscramble his brain. Interesting shit. |

Puerto Rico was the island that I thought it was, but I didn't like to commit it to 'ink' in case I embarrassed myself :) |

haha i thought it said New Homer J Simpson Movie… |

For another perspective, read Sonny Barger's book -- he mentions Hunter in it and he does not like him. Funny. Also, I believe Hunter in connexion with the Angels is mentioned in one of tom wolfe's books - possibly Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test - if memory serves, he relates Thomson rolling into Leary's Millbank estate with some Angels. |

ken keasey and the merry pranksters are the ones who chilled with/smoked out/got the hells angels into acid in electric kool aid. unless im awfully mistaken and my memory is shot [which it is] hst isnt ever mentioned in electric kool aid. |

Well we are yet to see this come into fruition :( what a shame. Just like when Darren Aranosfsky was going to direct Batman: Year One and The Fountain with Brad Pit. Bloody Hollywood. Buddy Holly would. :P |
