(3) 2003 Many fine books have been written in prison. Finished book!Enjoyable, but I think many people could write similar experiences with their jobs and going down the pub. It's a good story of trying to make the wheels of journalism and alcoholism turn. Some interesting characters. I eagerly wait the film, not fade away. Rum diary movie go go go

(4) Saw Pirates of Caribbean (just come out in England), Johnny was superbly twisted, shades of Keef, all the cast and crew must be praised, amen to that. Paul Whitehouse (Fast Show fame, hardest game in the world) is tipped to now be a major Hollywood star by me(!) as he is mates with Mr.Depp. I wonder if Rum Diaries may contain a cameo role for him (as in Neverland) Yes, Sir. CAST LIST! And a better one!

(5) Back from Italia! Big news coming soon. Trailer? Maybe. Read "Kingdom of Fear" by the good Doctor...most enjoyable. I have also decided to go to the Leic. Square premiere of RDs (if one occurs) with my attorney, so he can support the next item, a stepladder, camera and beer and maybe some Pina Coladas. Indeed. Site has included a "who is" and a secret rumpage for sometime now. Rumpage below. Mace!

(18) Mr Del Toro:"The book came out a couple of years ago and I said to Hunter, 'I should direct this.' And he was like, 'You never directed a movie, ha, ha, ha,' " says Del Toro, imitating the outlaw writer's staccato laugh. "Then one day, I got a phone call from him at 5 o'clock in the morning and he said, 'I got good news for you. How about you direct Rum Diary? You never directed a movie before, ha, ha, ha.'
With red-hot Johnny Depp in the Thompson-inspired role again, Del Toro just may have the last laugh." Alright, ha ha ha!

Many reporters on a binge in Rico for this month's+ shooting for the site! Hot damn! Hunter on the 1st meet:"There was a flashy convention of Gucci executives, a movie-crew busily filming the last days of Warren Zevon, and a profoundly violent gathering of famous actors and huge dogs who were here to launch the production of a gamey film called "The Rum Diary" in 2003.
This was the reason for my own participation, if only because I wrote the book. Johnny Depp was here, along with Benecio Del Toro, Nick Nolte, and the goofy child prodigy Josh Hartnett of "Black Hawk Down" fame. ... The idea was to meet and quarrel calmly for two or three days"

18) The Doc's broken his leg in Honolulu, get on that medication and better soon man! Shooting still going ahead as planned, next year Article on this.
"Benicio in Cuba recently with Terrence Mallic for the film festival down there. Benicio also spent Christmas in Puerto Rico. He mentioned on Charlie Rose that they were still working out the 'logistics' for Rum Diary."

Original gonzo almost–portable reporter's typewriter news: According to Anita Thompson, who has been Mrs Hunter S. Thompson since April of 2003, the journalist intends to visit Puerto Rico when the film begins production early this year. He is slated to be a consultant, but is not expected to called on for any driving activities! Indeed.
Sean Penn is going to watch football on his couch until the end of the season drinking beer and eating snacks. Fiend! Wise fool mind, yes. Turn foul wheels of progress

(GOd knows which number man) So in the new June issue of Vanity Fair Dr. Thompson has written an article on the unfair imprisonment of a woman named Lisl Auman for the murder of a CO police officer. Depp and Mr. Del Toro have also joined in on little mission of the doctors." What is Gilliam up to? And indeed what would he do in this situation? Mr.Depp's striking up "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" with him. Go Python!

Hunter's done some stuff..are you still reading this man? He's had a cameo and likes Ali G for real bo!
"Bruce Robinson is the new man said to be directing" He is from my home county no less ...
