Hey folks, Harry here... crossing the Snake River on my way to Twin Falls, Idaho for the night... as a train passes overhead and a full moon illuminates this vast hilly prairie... I get news that Johnny Depp will again be possessed by the spirit of Hunter S Thompson. Sadly he won't be teaming up again with Terry Gilliam for the film, but never fear - he's in great hands. He's doing this adaptation of THE RUM DIARY with WITHNAIL AND I's Bruce Robinson writing and directing.

It's a bit odd that an older Depp will be playing a younger Thompson... even if it is as Paul Kemp. All I know is... Depp's doing Hunter S again... this is fantastic news. Film is for WARNER INDEPENDENT - and it must be genius!
