thanks for the pix.

Has any new news surfaced about this?

I would expect some soundbites from Depp as he's promoting Public Enemies.

 

[ross2287]

Nothing new on this in two months...seriously?!

 

[ross2287]

Apparently there were screenings of this a week ago and no news has leaked out about it.

damnit, last night I had a chance to go to The Rum Diary screening but I couldn't. Luckily, the buzz has been good:

@KitCatFilms on Twitter: “The Rum Diary: The book it was not. But as a film, I actually really loved it. As an adaptation, it was alright. Loved Depp & Ribisi =)” … “it’s not as good as Fear & Loathing - but if you’re a Thompson fan you’ll appreciate what they’ve done . I liked it” .. “[Depp] really is the closest thing we have to our amazing Hunter S. Thompson ”


@AmandaLaskin on Twitter: if you are smart and creative go see the rum diary starring johnny depp! it is a piece of art!

Anyone have any idea when this is supposed to be released?

 

[Figs]

No idea but I also had no idea it was screened already.

 

[Maximus One]

I didnt even know filming had started let alone wrapped! Lol

 

[Figs]

I'm definitely going to keep my eyes and ears open for this one now. Since I haven't read the book I don't mind that comment says "the book it was not".

Do we know who's directing this?

The Mad Hatter and Two Face t:

Speaking of, I was so disappointed with him in AIW. He is so much better than that.

 

[Octoberist]

it felt like Depp was phoning in with The Mad Hatter.

Trailer! And it looks great!!!

[Thebumwhowalks]

Aye, I think it will be good, the book was better than i thought it would be, it being an early unreleased work that had sat in his basement for years, although i did sell my copy to buy me some rum for me tum when i had finished it.

Can't see the trailer on this crappy computer, but y'know, old Bruce made the British F&L, it should be good.

 

[Octoberist]

Johnny is ageless.
