Looks to me like The Rum Diary is going to have quite a few staples commonly found in HST's works: A traveling journalist, a crazy trip, a different and interesting location, large consumptions of alcohol/drugs, some surrealism and insanity, and tales that are so unbelievable they can only be true (I think). It's been a while since we've seen a film released based on HST's work, and while this one does look to be a bit watered down it still seems to me like there is a genuine chance it will be a breath of fresh air for HST fans such as myself, till this is released I'll have to busy myself with re-watching Rango (the closest thing we have right now to a film that includes some signature HST elements) So put on your shades and don't stop the car (It's Bat Country), because The Rum Diary is coming to a theatre near you SOON (how exactly soon is soon, we have yet to learn).

HST FANS REJOICE: FIRST TRAILER FOR THE RUM DIARY IS RELEASED
Now, I don't know about you folks, but I love me some HST, that's Hunter S. Thompson for those of you who are uninitiated with this brilliant man and his delightfully insane novels. Most famous for his novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (which was later turned into a hit film starring Johnny Depp), most of his novels involve heavy use of illegal drugs and alcohol. Another film based on one of his novels is being released soon, entitled The rum Diary and from its first trailer it looks like it's shaping up to be a fun ride.
