Johnny Depp in The Rum Diary

I’m sure you’re all excited about The Rum Diary project, and not (just) because Johnny Depp stars in it, so you’ll be glad to learn that FilmDistrict will release Bruce Robinson‘s movie on October 28, based on the early Hunter S. Thompson novel that was ultimately published in 1998.

The Rum Diary has quite interesting cast on board, which also includes Aaron Eckhart, Amber Heard, Michael Rispoli, Richard Jenkins and Giovanni Ribisi.

So, this project tells the increasingly unhinged story of itinerant journalist Paul Kemp (Depp). Tired of the noise and madness of New York and the crushing conventions of late Eisenhower-era America, Kemp travels to the pristine island of Puerto Rico to write for a local San Juan newspaper run by the downtrodden editor Lotterman (Jenkins).

The Rum Diary Photo

The first official photos from the upcoming film The Rum Diary have made their way out via Film Totaal. The stills give a look at Johnny Depp as protagonist Paul Kemp. This is Deep’s  second film based on a Hunter S. Thompson book.

Begun in 1959 by a then-twenty-two-year-old Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary details the life and events of Paul Kemp, a freelance journalist who finds himself at a critical turning point in his life while writing for a run-down newspaper in the Caribbean. Paul is challenged on many levels as he tries to carve out a more secure niche for himself amidst a group of lost souls all bent on self-destruction. Thompson delivers a potent story that pushes the sometimes-brutal truth of human relations into your face in such a way that it would be absurd to not laugh.
