Four years ago the same rumors had been heard that I bring you today. But at the time they had been forgotten, why? I don't know, I suppose because it was not profitable or convenient to make the film «The Rum Diary»In 2004, when it was thought that filming would begin.
This film is an adaptation of the work of Hunter S. Thompson, also called "The Rum Diary", and would feature the most beautiful, talented, and charismatic protagonist there could be, Johnny Depp. The actor would play Paul Kemp, an independent journalist who is at a critical point in his life, having no choice but to finish the job he deals with, which is a newspaper that he writes while suffering in the Caribbean.
The film would be directed by Bruce robinson, who has also adapted the script. Filming is expected to begin in March of this year. So the premiere could be expected in 2010, with good luck. Meanwhile, we will have to settle for seeing the much loved Johnny in the new installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, which also, I do not plan to suffer one bit.
